Yeah well, they're not white and not making us money so our government doesn't care.

It's a civil war, who should care and how? It's Sudan's internal problem and unless they wish to get occupied and colonised, they should deal with it themselves.

This is the best summary I could come up with:


Seven months after the start of Sudan's civil war, conditions for many in the capital, Khartoum, are worse than ever - but some of those who escaped from the city in the early days are also struggling to survive.

"We need a ceasefire that allows us to deliver humanitarian aid to those affected and assess the extent of their needs," says the UN's deputy special representative in Sudan, Clementine Nkweta-Salami.

A few short humanitarian truces were agreed in the early months of the war, but various ongoing peace initiatives are making little tangible progress.

In a shelter for displaced people in the port city, I met Hawa Suleiman trying in vain to make a meal for her five children from the meagre remains of a tin of wheat.

As well as the Sudanese, people from many other nationalities are suffering because of this war - among them Syrians, Pakistanis and Indians, and large numbers of refugees from South Sudan.

She had earlier fled from South Sudan and settled in a camp for displaced people in Khartoum's north-eastern district of al-Haj Yousif.
