    Sudan is experiencing a severe humanitarian crisis due to a civil war that began on April 15, 2023, between the Sudanese Armed Forces and the Rapid Support Forces, stemming from a power struggle after a 2021 coup. The conflict has led to over 18 million people facing extreme hunger, with hospitals closed and aid groups unable to operate safely. International involvement has complicated the situation, and despite attempts at peace talks, the war continues with millions displaced and widespread violence, including ethnic massacres in Darfur.

  • 00:05:00 - 00:12:06

    The situation in Haiti has deteriorated since 2018, exacerbated by the assassination of President Joanel Moise in 2021, leading to a power vacuum and the rise of armed gangs. The interim government has struggled to regain control, with gangs attacking key infrastructure and causing mass displacement. The humanitarian crisis is severe, with nearly half the population facing hunger and regular violence. Meanwhile, media coverage remains limited, highlighting the need for platforms like Ground News to provide objective reporting on underreported issues.

    Sudan civil war. Sudan is currently
  • 00:00:03
    facing the world's worst humanitarian
  • 00:00:05
    crisis with over 18 million people
  • 00:00:07
    suffering from extreme hunger and half a
  • 00:00:09
    million children starving to death. This
  • 00:00:11
    is happening because Sudan has been in a
  • 00:00:13
    brutal civil war since April 15th, 2023.
  • 00:00:16
    The fighting is mainly between two
  • 00:00:18
    powerful military groups that used to
  • 00:00:19
    run the country together. On one side,
  • 00:00:21
    there's the Sudanese armed forces led by
  • 00:00:24
    the head of the official army and on the
  • 00:00:25
    other side there is a paramilitary group
  • 00:00:27
    called the rapid support forces. This
  • 00:00:29
    war started because of a power struggle.
  • 00:00:31
    After a coup in 2021, both groups were
  • 00:00:34
    supposed to merge into one national
  • 00:00:35
    army, but neither side trusted the
  • 00:00:37
    other. Tensions exploded when the RSF
  • 00:00:40
    attacked key sites in the capital
  • 00:00:41
    cartoon trying to take control. What
  • 00:00:43
    followed was full-on war, not just in
  • 00:00:46
    cartoon, but across Sudan, especially in
  • 00:00:48
    Darur, where the RSF has been accused of
  • 00:00:50
    committing ethnic massacres. This new
  • 00:00:52
    war has pulled in international powers,
  • 00:00:54
    too. Egypt is backing the SAF, while the
  • 00:00:56
    UAE and Chad are believed to be
  • 00:00:59
    supporting the RSF. As of 2025, the war
  • 00:01:02
    is still going with no end in sight.
  • 00:01:04
    There were some peace talks, like the
  • 00:01:05
    Jedha Declaration, but they failed. More
  • 00:01:07
    than 8.8 million people have been forced
  • 00:01:10
    to flee their homes and over 3.5 million
  • 00:01:12
    have left the country entirely.
  • 00:01:14
    Hospitals are closed, food and medicine
  • 00:01:16
    are running out, and aid groups can't
  • 00:01:18
    safely get in because convoys are being
  • 00:01:19
    looted. Meanwhile, both sides are
  • 00:01:21
    spreading lies online using fake videos
  • 00:01:23
    and AI to sway public opinion. The
  • 00:01:26
    Rwanda Congo War. In 1994, the Rwanda
  • 00:01:30
    genocide took place when Hoou extremists
  • 00:01:32
    killed an estimated 500,000 tootssis in
  • 00:01:35
    just 100 days. Afterward, many of those
  • 00:01:37
    responsible fled into Congo where they
  • 00:01:39
    regrouped into armed factions like the
  • 00:01:41
    FDLR, a group that still operates in the
  • 00:01:43
    region to this day. The Tootszile Rwanda
  • 00:01:45
    government which took power after the
  • 00:01:47
    genocide pursued them into Congolese
  • 00:01:49
    territory. These events started the
  • 00:01:51
    tensions fueling the current conflict.
  • 00:01:53
    In 2022, Rwanda was accused of directly
  • 00:01:55
    backing the M23 rebel group which is
  • 00:01:57
    made up mostly of Congolese tootssis.
  • 00:01:59
    This was confirmed by UN and US reports
  • 00:02:02
    which state that Rwanda troops have
  • 00:02:03
    crossed into Congo and fought alongside
  • 00:02:05
    M23 despite official denials. The Rwanda
  • 00:02:08
    government however claims its military
  • 00:02:10
    is in Congolese territory to defend
  • 00:02:12
    against the FDLR. the same group of hoou
  • 00:02:15
    mentioned earlier. M23 on the other hand
  • 00:02:17
    claims to protect tootssis in Congo, but
  • 00:02:20
    has been accused of massacres, child
  • 00:02:22
    soldier recruitment, and attacks on aid
  • 00:02:24
    operations. Since the renewed fighting
  • 00:02:26
    began, the situation has spiraled into a
  • 00:02:28
    near constant war. Entire cities have
  • 00:02:30
    fallen to rebels. Over 400,000 people
  • 00:02:33
    were displaced in early 2025 alone, and
  • 00:02:36
    thousands have been killed or injured.
  • 00:02:38
    International peace efforts have failed.
  • 00:02:40
    slowing down of the AOCH. The Atlantic
  • 00:02:43
    meridian overturning circulation, a key
  • 00:02:45
    ocean current system that helps regulate
  • 00:02:47
    the global climate, is weakening fast,
  • 00:02:49
    and scientists warn it's heading toward
  • 00:02:51
    a potential collapse. This process keeps
  • 00:02:53
    Europe relatively mild and stable, but
  • 00:02:55
    it's now being disrupted by global
  • 00:02:57
    warming. If the AOCH were to collapse
  • 00:02:59
    entirely, the effects would be massive.
  • 00:03:01
    Europe could face temperature drops of 5
  • 00:03:03
    to 15° C within decades. Sea levels
  • 00:03:06
    along the Atlantic coast could rise by
  • 00:03:07
    up to 70 cm. And rainfall patterns in
  • 00:03:10
    places like the Amazon could reverse,
  • 00:03:12
    turning wet seasons into dry ones. Other
  • 00:03:14
    areas, especially in the southern
  • 00:03:15
    hemisphere, would get even hotter. This
  • 00:03:17
    wouldn't be a slow change. It could
  • 00:03:19
    happen rapidly once we hit a climate
  • 00:03:20
    tipping point with shifts occurring over
  • 00:03:22
    just a few decades. The last time
  • 00:03:24
    something like this happened was about
  • 00:03:26
    12,900 years ago, triggering a sudden
  • 00:03:28
    1,300year cold snap. Scientists don't
  • 00:03:32
    agree on exactly when this might happen,
  • 00:03:33
    but most studies point to a date that
  • 00:03:35
    isn't too far in the future. Hades
  • 00:03:37
    situation. Haiti is in total crisis. The
  • 00:03:40
    country has been spiraling since 2018
  • 00:03:42
    when protests broke out over a hike in
  • 00:03:44
    fuel prices. But things got much worse
  • 00:03:46
    after President Joanel Moise was
  • 00:03:48
    assassinated in 2021. Since then,
  • 00:03:50
    political power has collapsed and armed
  • 00:03:52
    gangs have taken over most of the
  • 00:03:54
    capital, Porto Prince. The interim prime
  • 00:03:56
    minister, Ariel Henry, tried to bring in
  • 00:03:58
    foreign police from Kenya to help fight
  • 00:04:00
    gang violence. But while he was out of
  • 00:04:02
    the country negotiating, gangs blocked
  • 00:04:04
    his return and launched coordinated
  • 00:04:06
    attacks. Jails were stormed. Thousands
  • 00:04:08
    of inmates escaped, and key
  • 00:04:09
    infrastructure like ports, airports,
  • 00:04:11
    hospitals, and even the presidential
  • 00:04:13
    palace came under attack. The gangs
  • 00:04:15
    continue to fight among themselves, and
  • 00:04:17
    nearly half the population is going
  • 00:04:19
    hungry. Over 1.6 6 million are on the
  • 00:04:21
    edge of famine and more than 160,000
  • 00:04:24
    people have fled their homes in the
  • 00:04:25
    capital alone. The situation is still
  • 00:04:27
    really bad with regular massacres. Just
  • 00:04:29
    from January to March 2025, 1,600 people
  • 00:04:32
    were killed and 800 were injured.
  • 00:04:35
    Unfortunately, the whole situation isn't
  • 00:04:37
    being properly covered in mainstream
  • 00:04:38
    media and many people don't even know
  • 00:04:40
    about it. Fortunately though, we have
  • 00:04:42
    platforms like Ground News, today's
  • 00:04:44
    sponsor, which I'm proud to support.
  • 00:04:45
    Ground News is especially useful in
  • 00:04:47
    cases like this article about France's
  • 00:04:49
    president saying that making Haiti pay
  • 00:04:51
    for its independence was unjust. The
  • 00:04:53
    platform gives you a summary based on 72
  • 00:04:56
    sources, helping provide an objective
  • 00:04:57
    view, and it shows the political lean of
  • 00:04:59
    each outlet. In this example, 63% of the
  • 00:05:02
    sources were centerleaning, making it a
  • 00:05:04
    potential blind spot for both left and
  • 00:05:06
    right-leaning readers. It also shows how
  • 00:05:08
    different sides frame the same story.
  • 00:05:10
    For instance, this left-leaning source
  • 00:05:12
    describes France's actions as one of
  • 00:05:14
    history's greatest heists, while this
  • 00:05:16
    right-leaning source focuses on the
  • 00:05:17
    diplomatic side, highlighting a joint
  • 00:05:19
    Francohaitian Commission to examine the
  • 00:05:22
    painful past. One of my favorite
  • 00:05:23
    features is the blind spot feed, which
  • 00:05:26
    shows stories that are under
  • 00:05:27
    reportported by one side of the
  • 00:05:28
    political spectrum. Ground News doesn't
  • 00:05:30
    tell you what to think. They just bring
  • 00:05:32
    together news from around the world so
  • 00:05:34
    you can make up your own mind. Head over

  • 00:05:48
    decline. For nearly 30 years, a small
  • 00:05:50
    group of German insect scientists
  • 00:05:52
    quietly tracked insect populations in
  • 00:05:54
    nature reserves, unaware they were
  • 00:05:56
    documenting one of the most alarming
  • 00:05:57
    environmental disasters in modern
  • 00:05:59
    Europe. Led by Dr. Martin Sorg, the
  • 00:06:01
    Crayfeld Entomological Society, found
  • 00:06:03
    that the amount of flying insects had
  • 00:06:05
    declined by 75% between 1989 and 2016.
  • 00:06:09
    The implications are really bad. Insects
  • 00:06:12
    pollinate 80% of wild plants and feed
  • 00:06:14
    60% of bird species. They decompose
  • 00:06:16
    organic matter, recycle nutrients, and
  • 00:06:19
    support entire food chains. Without
  • 00:06:21
    them, ecosystems would crumble.
  • 00:06:22
    Scientists link the decline to intense
  • 00:06:24
    farming practices, especially the
  • 00:06:26
    widespread use of pesticides like
  • 00:06:28
    neonicotenoids. Many farmers, however,
  • 00:06:30
    worry about the economic costs of
  • 00:06:32
    reducing chemicals without enough
  • 00:06:34
    support or consumer demand. It would be
  • 00:06:36
    hard to compete against other countries
  • 00:06:37
    who keep using these pesticides, keeping
  • 00:06:39
    costs down. Myanmar civil war. In 2021,
  • 00:06:43
    the Myanmar military, known as the
  • 00:06:45
    Tatada, seized power in a coup,
  • 00:06:47
    overthrowing the elected government and
  • 00:06:49
    arresting civilian leaders. The coup, of
  • 00:06:51
    course, sparked massive protests, which
  • 00:06:53
    were met with violent crackdowns,
  • 00:06:55
    leading many civilians to take up arms.
  • 00:06:57
    In response, the exiled elected
  • 00:06:59
    government formed the National Unity
  • 00:07:01
    government, representing anti- coup
  • 00:07:02
    forces and calling for the
  • 00:07:04
    reestablishment of a democratic state.
  • 00:07:06
    They allied with long-standing ethnic
  • 00:07:08
    armed groups that have fought the
  • 00:07:09
    military for decades, and together they
  • 00:07:11
    opposed the military juna, now operating
  • 00:07:13
    under the name state administration
  • 00:07:15
    council. Fighting has since spread
  • 00:07:17
    across the country, turning into a
  • 00:07:18
    full-scale civil war. Ethnic militias
  • 00:07:21
    and newly formed people's defense forces
  • 00:07:23
    composed of regular civilians who want
  • 00:07:24
    to fight back have launched coordinated
  • 00:07:26
    attacks taking control of significant
  • 00:07:28
    territory. But the military has
  • 00:07:30
    responded with air strikes, massacres,
  • 00:07:32
    and scorched earth tactics. In April
  • 00:07:34
    2023, a single air strike on a gathering
  • 00:07:37
    and sagging region reportedly killed
  • 00:07:39
    over 160 civilians. They famously use
  • 00:07:42
    the four cuts doctrine which consists of
  • 00:07:44
    cutting off food, funds, intelligence
  • 00:07:46
    and recruits to starve opposition areas
  • 00:07:49
    often leading to mass displacement. As
  • 00:07:51
    of now, the conflict has displaced
  • 00:07:53
    millions of people and shows no signs of
  • 00:07:55
    ending. China and Russia continue to
  • 00:07:57
    support the Juna diplomatically and
  • 00:07:59
    militarily. The whole situation was
  • 00:08:01
    worsened by the huge earthquake in March
  • 00:08:03
    2025 which directly killed up to 5,300
  • 00:08:06
    people and injured up to 11,400 people.
  • 00:08:09
    Balkans situation. Since late 2024, a
  • 00:08:13
    wave of protests has started across
  • 00:08:15
    parts of the Balkans and nearby
  • 00:08:17
    countries in what many are calling the
  • 00:08:18
    Balkan Spring. It started in Serbia and
  • 00:08:21
    Slovakia, then spread to North
  • 00:08:22
    Macedonia, Turkey, Greece, Montenegro,
  • 00:08:25
    and even beyond, including Hungary,
  • 00:08:27
    Georgia, and Romania. The protests have
  • 00:08:29
    been mostly studentled as people got fed
  • 00:08:32
    up with corruption and authoritarianism.
  • 00:08:34
    In Serbia, the movement exploded after a
  • 00:08:36
    newly renovated train station in
  • 00:08:38
    Novvisad collapsed, killing 16 people.
  • 00:08:41
    An incident blamed on corruption.
  • 00:08:43
    Students holding a silent tribute were
  • 00:08:44
    attacked by government affiliated thugs,
  • 00:08:46
    which only fueled the outrage. Slogans
  • 00:08:49
    like corruption kills and a bloody hand
  • 00:08:51
    became protest symbols. In Slovakia,
  • 00:08:53
    protests erupted after Prime Minister
  • 00:08:55
    Robert Fico visited Moscow, cut military
  • 00:08:58
    aid to Ukraine, and pushed controversial
  • 00:09:00
    judicial reforms, leading many to chant,
  • 00:09:02
    "Slovakia is Europe." In Turkey, people
  • 00:09:04
    hit the streets after opposition leader
  • 00:09:06
    and Istanbul Mayor Ecram Imamoglu was
  • 00:09:08
    arrested in what many saw as a political
  • 00:09:10
    takedown. In North Macedonia, 59 people
  • 00:09:13
    died in a nightclub fire caused by poor
  • 00:09:15
    safety standards, sparking mass protests
  • 00:09:17
    similar to those in Serbia. Meanwhile,
  • 00:09:19
    in Greece, the memory of the deadly 2023

    Tempe train crash, where 57 people died,
  • 00:09:24
    was reignited during its second
  • 00:09:26
    anniversary. So, memorial rallies were
  • 00:09:28
    held. Protesters across borders are
  • 00:09:30
    clearly inspired by each other, even
  • 00:09:31
    sharing slogans and symbols like
  • 00:09:33
    Pikachu, which started in Turkey and
  • 00:09:35
    spread to Serbia. Some governments have
  • 00:09:37
    started to crack under the pressure.
  • 00:09:38
    Serbia's prime minister resigned, and
  • 00:09:40
    discussions of snap elections have begun
  • 00:09:42
    in Slovakia. Myambo Woodlands fire.
  • 00:09:45
    Every single day, the equivalent of
  • 00:09:47
    around 140 full-sized football fields of
  • 00:09:50
    Myamboa woodland burns down across
  • 00:09:52
    southern Africa, wiping out animal
  • 00:09:54
    habitats, killing wildlife, and pushing
  • 00:09:56
    entire ecosystems to the brink. These
  • 00:09:58
    woodlands aren't just any forest. They
  • 00:10:00
    form the largest continuous stretch of
  • 00:10:02
    woodland in Africa, spanning countries
  • 00:10:03
    like Tanzania, Congo, and Zambia. And
  • 00:10:05
    they're home to most of the continent's
  • 00:10:07
    wildlife, including critically
  • 00:10:08
    endangered species. Despite this, the
  • 00:10:10
    Myambo receives almost no global
  • 00:10:12
    attention or mainstream media coverage,
  • 00:10:14
    and it gets little to no consistent
  • 00:10:16
    government funding. As these ecosystems
  • 00:10:18
    are cleared for agriculture or burned
  • 00:10:20
    for charcoal, the animals that depend on
  • 00:10:22
    them are left homeless or dead, and
  • 00:10:23
    significant amounts of greenhouse gases
  • 00:10:25
    get released. Also, these dry forests
  • 00:10:27
    support over 65 million people who rely
  • 00:10:30
    on them for timber, fuel, wood, food,
  • 00:10:32
    honey, and medicine. Despite their
  • 00:10:34
    importance, Mayambo woodlands are often
  • 00:10:36
    ignored, overshadowed by more iconic
  • 00:10:38
    tropical rainforests like the Amazon and
  • 00:10:40
    Congo. If nothing changes, Africa could
  • 00:10:42
    lose a massive portion of its
  • 00:10:43
    biodiversity silently. Oppression of
  • 00:10:46
    Uggers in China. In China's Zinjang
  • 00:10:49
    region, the Uggers, a Muslim ethnic
  • 00:10:51
    minority, are facing a campaign of
  • 00:10:53
    repression by the Chinese government.
  • 00:10:54
    This includes mass surveillance, forced
  • 00:10:56
    detention, and religious restrictions.
  • 00:10:58
    Over a million Uggers have been sent to
  • 00:11:00
    detention centers for reasons as simple
  • 00:11:02
    as praying, growing a beard, or having
  • 00:11:04
    contact with people abroad. Inside these
  • 00:11:07
    camps, people report being tortured,
  • 00:11:09
    forced to renounce their religion, and
  • 00:11:10
    subjected to political propaganda. It's
  • 00:11:12
    so bad that many disappear without their
  • 00:11:14
    families ever being told where they are.
  • 00:11:16
    Outside the camps, surveillance is also
  • 00:11:19
    constant. Ugor homes are monitored not
  • 00:11:21
    just by cameras, but by Honchinese
  • 00:11:23
    citizens placed there by the government
  • 00:11:25
    under a program called Unite as one
  • 00:11:27
    family. Uggers are also being forced to
  • 00:11:29
    work in factories, often with no pay,
  • 00:11:31
    either inside the camps or in faraway
  • 00:11:33
    cities, separated from their families.
  • 00:11:35
    Women are being targeted, too, with
  • 00:11:37
    widespread reports of forced
  • 00:11:39
    sterilizations and birth control
  • 00:11:40
    procedures as part of a campaign to
  • 00:11:42
    limit the Uger population. The goal
  • 00:11:44
    appears to be to remove them by forcing
  • 00:11:46
    them to assimilate to the Han majority
  • 00:11:48
    culture, which is why some call it
  • 00:11:50
    cultural genocide. International watchd
  • 00:11:52
    dogs and human rights groups believe
  • 00:11:53
    that what's happening may amount to
  • 00:11:55
    crimes against humanity. But with strict
  • 00:11:57
    control over information coming out of
  • 00:11:58
    the region, much of this remains hidden
  • 00:12:00
    from the world. If you like this video,
