The Current War In Sudan And The One Major Lesson To Learn:

The current war in Sudan is just two(2) weeks old but has recorded 500 deaths and 5,000 injuries with over 800,000 persons said to have fled Sudan so far (per CNN reporter).

There is one major lesson to learn from this war.

In the year 2000, the people of Western Sudan started a public agitation for inclusion in the sharing of oil-proceeds and infrastructural development in their region after years of alleged marginalization by the Northern elites who have always ruled Sudan.

The Government paid a deaf ear and so the people resorted to picking up arms. Two(2) militancy groups were formed; The Justice and Equality Movement (JEM) and the Sudan Liberation Army (SLA).

Instead of the Government to employ diplomacy in handling these agitators, it rather went and formed another opposition militant force in Western Sudan called Janjaweed Forces (JF). The Government used Janjaweed to conquer both JEM and SLA.

But this kind of victories don't last.

Just three(3) years later, Janjaweed had grown so mighty in western Sudan and in 2003 it engaged the Government in arms combat. In 2019, Janjaweed metamorphosed into a strong and rebranded militant force called Rapid Support Forces (RSF) with 100,000 well equipped troops.

Today, this RSF that the Government set up in 2000 is fighting a deadly war with Government forces in Sudan. RSF has 100,000 troops and Government has 125,000 troops. Just a difference of 25,000.

If the Sudan Government in 2000 had used diplomacy in responding to Justice and Equality Movement (JEM) and the Sudan Liberation Army (SLA) agitators, Sudan would not have been at war right now.

THE LEARNING HUB:Nietzsche was the one who did the job for me.

Nietzsche was the one who did the job for me. At a certain moment in his life,the idea came to him of what he called 'the love of your fate.' Whatever your fate is, whatever the hell happens, you say, 'This is what I need.' It may look like a wreck, but go at it as though it were an opportunity, a challenge. If you bring love to that moment--not discouragement--you will find the strength is there. Any disaster you can survive is an improvement in your character, your stature, and your life. What a privilege! This is when the spontaneity of your own nature will have a chance to flow. Then, when looking back at your life, you will see that the moments which seemed to be great failures followed by wreckage were the incidents that shaped the life you have now. You’ll see that this is really true. Nothing can happen to you that is not positive. Even though it looks and feels at the moment like a negative crisis, it is not. The crisis throws you back, and when you are require...

1. There are many things more precious than money It is easy to be enslaved by the mindset that money is the most imperative treasure in society. Money is always transient, just like most things in life. It comes and goes, but how much are you willing to pay for the fleeting pleasure?

There are things more precious than money.
