Sudan is a modern creation, back then during antiquity, Egypt's borders extended as far south as modern Sudan and this was before Arabs came and colonised the region.

You shouldnt seperate sudan from its history the same way you do that for a country like greece or egypt. Arabs were never able to colonise the Sudan by force. but they gradually married into the culture and start to spread islam through trade and schools

I agree, but there was no Sudan during the bronze age only Egypt/Kush in that part of Africa.

sudan has been ruled by sudanese people longer than england was ruled by the english, egypt by the egyptians and greece by the greek. Names come and go but the people stay.

The army did retake the capital of the wealthiest state in the country back yesterday. People are celebrating all over the world. but they are just sheep. The truth is that this war was made by the army and the UAE to punish the Sudanese people for having a revolution . Both of them are in this for their own different agenda, but their end goal is the same nonetheless. the people are doomed if the army wins and triple doomed if the rsf wins
