How the war in Sudan produced a state of schizophrenia

This state of schizophrenia leaves Sudanese citizens in a state of confusion. They are forced to choose between the warring parties that were, until recently, partners in power.

It is unfortunate when negative events become a part of one's daily routine, gradually desensitising them to the situation.
I fear that the catastrophic war in Sudan is on the path to becoming just that, as it has extended beyond the promised timeframe of hours or even days, as declared by army generals when the war initially broke out over a month ago.

Instead of striving for prosperity, freedom, and democracy, individuals are forced to focus on survival and meeting their basic needs.

The profound lesson that we learned from this war, thus far, is its ability to disrupt people's lives, pushing them towards danger and worsening humanitarian conditions. Instead of striving for prosperity, freedom, and democracy, individuals are forced to focus on survival and meeting their basic needs.
