Episode notes
A Different Kind of Civil War
- The current conflict in Sudan involves two factions within the military vying for control.
- This differs from typical civil wars involving rebel groups or a unified military against civilians.
Islamism vs. Islamic Governance
- Islamist regimes claim Islamic authority but often deviate from widely accepted interpretations.
- They often seize power through coups and enforce their specific vision of Sharia law.
Ethnic Cleansing and Militias
- Multi-ethnic militaries struggle with ethnic cleansing campaigns due to internal conflicts of interest.
- To circumvent this, regimes form paramilitary groups from specific ethnic groups, like the Janjaweed in Darfur.
