In northeast Africa, along the Red Sea coast, the eastern end of the Sahara Desert, just south of Egypt, there is a country that is not paid attention to by major media in the world, Sudan.

In Africa, most countries are suffering from war, and Sudan is no exception.

In particular, the 12th-degree north latitude line across the African continent just separates the Muslims living in northern Sudan from the blacks who believe in traditional religions or Christians living in the south. This line is basically a watershed between nomadic peoples and farming peoples. The north is the southern end of the Sahara Desert, with the main body being nomadic peoples, with rich water resources in the south and good farming development.

For thousands of years, conflicts between nomadic peoples and farming peoples have been constantly. In the season of good rain, farming people will explore northwards and occupy the land of nomadic peoples; in the season of dryness, nomadic people will invade the land of farming peoples in the south. Because the combat effectiveness of nomadic peoples is stronger, most of the time, nomadic peoples have the advantage.

Before the Sudan, the north was relatively open, received British education and had a high level of education, while the south was mostly still in the primitive tribal chief system, which led to the rule of the northerners in the Sudan.

However, the South was in turmoil until 1969 when the Sudanese civilian government was overthrown by a military coup. After the 39-year-old Gaalfa Ernimeri came to power, he eased his relations with the South. Through negotiations, in 1972, the South achieved a certain degree of autonomy, but the good times only lasted for a few years. In 1978, the South discovered oil fields, which could bring huge benefits, and once again increased the contradiction between the north and the south. Southern Autonomous Government.

The government demanded the establishment of oil refineries in the south, but Nimari built the refineries in the north. And also built an oil pipeline to the Red Sea to directly export crude oil. Later, Nimari simply redefines the north-south border and divides the oil fields in the south and the rich agricultural zoning of the Upper Nile Province to the north. Then, Nimari banned the Southern Autonomous Government, which had been established for 10 years, and the South was redivided into three provinces. It restored to the political structure before 1972.

Immediately, a large-scale armed standoff occurred in Sudan again. This time, the southern regime was supported by Libya Gaddafi.

Very unfortunate. The South chose the wrong person.

Since Gaddafi supported the southern regime, Nimari naturally opposed Libya without hesitation and publicly condemned Gaddafi. Now, the United States faced Gaddafi as an evil force, so naturally supported Nimari's regime without hesitation. The United States provided more than $1.5 billion in military aid to Nimari.

Nimari, who had money to fight, had originally come to power through coups. During his tenure, he naturally dared to take ruthless measures and began a large-scale military operation against the South. It was carried out quite well.

However, Nimali is a good fighter, but economic development is not possible. Nimali knew that Sudan needed to increase his food production, while the improvement of agriculture required mechanized agricultural production. He failed, and the output was not very high, but he borrowed a large amount of foreign debt. By the early 1980s, Sudan's foreign debt had reached US$12 billion, exceeding Sudan's ability to pay.

The house was raining all night long. In the last two years and the previous year, Sudan suffered drought for two consecutive years. In order to maintain Sudan's international image, Nimari did not take drought seriously, which is also very common in backward African regions. As a result, the death toll caused by famine reached 250,000 and the victims reached 1.75 million. The people have lost confidence in Nimari.

Just when the 1985 came, Sudan had become a country with shortage of materials, inflation and currency depreciation.

"In such a country, a just military coup will inevitably occur to change the fate of the Sudanese people." Kusai said.

No one would doubt President Kusai's words, countless incidents prove that President Kusai has amazing judgment.

Only Kusai himself knew that he was so sure because, he knew, that in April this year, when Nimari visited the United States, the main leader of the army, Minister of Defense Abdullah Manhasan Suvardahab, would launch a military coup, claiming to remove Nimari from his presidency. At the same time, in view of the deterioration of the situation, the military will take over the regime and "will continue to take power for the time being."

At such a good time, Kusai would never miss this opportunity. The Sudan at the Red Sea end has too much significance for Iraq.

Of course, the most important thing is that Sudan has abundant oil resources. Although there are only a few major oil fields in Sudan now, such as the Kadiliji Oilfield, which is more than 700 kilometers southwest of the capital Khartoum, with crude oil reserves of about 90 million tons and the Unity oilfield can be exploited by the world's oil giants. However, Kusai knows that these are just the tip of the iceberg. In later generations, the Eastern powers helped develop Sudan's oil resources, which made all Western countries look red, because Sudan's oil reserves are conservatively estimated to exceed 180 billion barrels, second only to Saudi Arabia, ranking second in the world. A bolder estimate is that Sudan's oil reserves are more than Iran and Saudi Arabia combined!

In later generations, Iraq itself is unable to protect itself and will never be able to interfere in these matters, but now it is a good opportunity for Iraq!

Iraq's oil companies are about to start entering the world. In addition to challenging BP, Kusai is even more unavoidable to let go of potential stocks.

Moreover, in addition to huge economic benefits, Sudan's location also has great military value along the Red Sea coast. If Iraq wins over Sudan, establishes relations with them, acquires troops stationed in Sudan, and obtains Sudan's coastal military base, then Iraq can face Saudi Arabia in the Red Sea, and even block the Red Sea when necessary! To the north, it can deter (or help) Egypt and Libya. Sudan on the east coast of Africa is the frontier base for Kusai to enter Africa.

"President Kusai, then how can we help the Sudanese people?" Yurid asked.

"If you want a military coup, then we have to find a military figure who is worthy of weight," Kusai said. "Sudan's Defense Minister, Abdul is a person worthy of weight. You need to send someone to contact him. We in Iraq are willing to support his just cause. For the Sudanese people, we will provide them with modern weapons and will provide them with solidarity. Nimari is not suitable for governing the Sudanese country at all. It is time for him to abdicate."

The northern and central Sudan are all Arabs. As people of the same race, Kusai’s name is a kind of existence that they look up to. Kusai’s support is even better than the support of the United States.

"As a friendly exchange, we will assist the Sudanese people to jointly develop oil in the Sudanese region, help Sudan get rid of poverty and make their country rich as soon as possible," said Kusai.

Sudan has oil, but they don't manage it at all, and, in their battle with the South, oil accounts for a big reason.

"We fully support Sudan's policy towards the South. In addition to providing them with weapons, if they need it, we can also send some armed personnel to help them train their troops and help them strengthen their armed forces. In terms of combat experience, I'm afraid there is a big gap between them and us," said Kusai.

Kusai's proposal seemed to be all for the Sultan, but Yurid knew that if Abdul really agreed, then Iraq would be able to gain the best interests.

"Yes, I'll make arrangements right away," Yurid said.

"In April, Nimari will visit the United States, which is Abdul's best mobile phone call." Kusai added at the end.

The blue sky is dotted with white clouds, and the sun shines on the land below. Two rivers like jade belts, one is blue and the other is white. In a prosperous land in North Africa, it converges into a big river. This is the Nile River. At this intersection, the prosperous land is the capital of Sudan, Khartoum.

In an African climate known for its hot and dryness, Khartoum's weather today is very good.

There is no heat wave that hits the face, no suffocating sand and dust, but Khartoum is not stable.

"President, today, on our street, another demonstration was held by the people." Nimeri's confidant Mahmoud said.

"If they protest, they will be just a flock of sheep," said Nimeri.

"Perhaps we can use military means to suppress them a single suppression," said Mahmoud.

Hearing this, Defense Minister Abdul felt a little worried, because he knew very well that the current army is also facing the deteriorating economic impact of Sudan and has not paid wages for two months. If they were asked to suppress their relatives, the army might be mutiny at the moment.

Although Sudan has experienced many coups, there has never been such a dangerous situation, because the military will not stand on their side if the problems arise in the country this time!

"President, the people have not lost control yet, so we should not use force. Our armed forces are used to deal with the forces in the south, not to our own people." Abdul said.

Seeing Nimari hesitating for a long time and finally giving up the use of force, Abdul's heart calmed down.

When Abdul returned to his residence with his tired body and mind, he welcomed a mysterious guest. (To be continued...)
