Again, I am linking to an article which explains to me, even if you, the reader, might or might not want to know, the continual slaughter of non-arabs by arabs:

Abstract
This essay examines the role of race and Arabness in Sudan’s social caste, drawing a timeline from post-Ottoman colonial rule to present day to thoroughly investigate its role throughout Sudan’s history. The conflicts that broke out during these periods resulted in economic and political instability for the nation; however, by examining the root causes of these conflicts, conclusions can be drawn about the powerful roles played by race and ethnicity in Sudan. These conflicts exemplify the critical role of Arab ancestry and privilege in the social inequality and seemingly permanent racial hierarchical system in Sudan.
To learn more about the ethnically different tribes of Sudan see:
There are 19 major ethnic groups and over 597 ethnic subgroups speaking more than 100 languages and dialects.
Proxy wars may also be taking advantage of this unstable region, since if the killing goes on, there will be fewer people left to argue over the rights to mining the vast wealth in resources which lay beneath the land, once you scrape the mass graves away.
And, as if perpetual conflict was not enough, death stalks the land due to the consequences of climate change:

A determined climate campaigner for nearly a decade, both at home and on the world stage, she speaks passionately of the growing threat a heating planet poses to her northeast African nation.
“Climate change needs to be prioritised in Sudan,” 27-year-old Elsaim said, speaking weeks before the COP27 climate conference starts in neighbouring Egypt.
Elsaim — who joined the protests which toppled longtime president Omar al-Bashir in 2019 and now favours a return to civilian rule following a military coup in 2021 — argues that urgent environmental action must go hand in hand with political change.
Sudan is the world’s fifth most vulnerable country to the impacts of climate change, according to a 2020 ranking in the Global Adaptation Index, compiled by the Notre Dame University in the United States.
“There has also been a noticeable increase in temperature,” said Elsaim about her arid country. “There is no winter anymore
Retired, living in the Scottish Borders after living most of my life in cities in England. I can now indulge my interest in all aspects of living close to nature in a wild landscape. I live on what was once the Iapetus Ocean which took millions of years to travel from the Southern Hemisphere to here in the Northern Hemisphere. That set me thinking and questioning and seeking answers.
