Sudan Conflict
How does Sudanese sugar compare to imported sugar according to Uncle Khidr?
According to Uncle Khidr, a farmer living near the Sennaar factory in Sudan, the locally produced Sudanese sugar is significantly superior to imported sugar. He emphatically states that their sugar is "much, much sweeter and much better" than imported alternatives. Uncle Khidr also points out that Sudanese sugar has higher concentration, making it more economical and effective for consumers. His frustration with the current situation stems from the unfairness of relying on inferior imported sugar while local production facilities have been damaged during political unrest, directly impacting the livelihoods of local farmers.

Why are the Sudanese Armed Forces winning the hearts of civilians in the ongoing conflict?
The Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) have gained civilian support because of how they've conducted themselves during the conflict. Despite having problems, the SAF has behaved significantly better than the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), which has committed severe atrocities against civilians. This improved conduct has allowed the SAF to win the hearts of many people on the ground who have suffered under RSF control for almost two years. As the SAF achieves military successes against the paramilitary forces, civilians who experienced the harsh realities of RSF occupation are increasingly supporting the national army's efforts.
