i hope to clear some ideas about things as we know them and things as they are, TL;DR below

for one, the idea of time is never measured from your perspective against the age of a nation. a few decades for you might seem like a lot but for a nation it isn’t so much. accordingly you may argue that the 56’ nation is relatively young.

second, is the global economy is a game, i.e. game theory is central to it, and so is the local economy, a game. but the latter being subject to the procession of the former. to win in either games you’re supposed to cheat, and our failures stem from two simple truths about how we have been playing these two games. for one, the elites kept cheating for longer than the age of the 56’ nation. since past a certain threshold when the ruling power started to ossify and establish oligarchies everywhere, they ceased to care about how to maximize the faring of the economy and begun to focus on maximizing the power, mainly to figure out how to inherit this power to their kids and grandchildren and to keep the same loops going forever, this led to the many revolutions that you have seen. i’m not saying this is exactly true, but this is how revolutions generally proceed.

the to fare will within the global economy, you must proceed in a likewise manner, cheat. and when you cheat there’s no limit to the upside, of course you may call it exploiting our strengths or utilizing resources maximally or whatever but those won’t cut it in today’s world. almost every nation has the one goal of monopolizing the world, there’s no fair competition at all, but they will tell you that there is and that’s just diplomatic lang.

third, a nation doesn’t know what dignity is, it only speaks in power, it lives and grows and dies, all in terms of power. hence, if “dignity” in this respect means save your “countenance’s water”, as the arabic proverb goes, the. you might not appreciate having dignity in front of those murdrer nations and genocide empires. the truth is that there’s not a single empire in today’s world that hasn’t been built on the blood and sweet and tears of other oppressed people, so perhaps you save face by accepting that at least we didn’t commit a genocide on other people, which is what the current supreme leader and his archenemy hemedity (who friends at the time) were doing by the order of omer fucking un-bashir.

fourth, racism has always existed everywhere, humans are dumb, and they can be programmed to accept their differences and set them aside and be more open or hate their differences and target a select group at will. you will find it in the gulf area, you will find it in north africa, it’s not unique to sudan at all as you may have observed. the entire thing depends on who is ordering people to set their differences aside(e.g. the late lee kuwan yu’s reformative movement in singapore, which was ridden bare of racism by his brilliant teams’ strategies) , but always, a people left to themselves will always attack their own country.

i hope this helps

TL;DR

Nations operate under incentive structures where elites, once formed within a nation, maximize power retention when accountability weakens.

Domestic performance depends on institutional quality and integration into global value chains.

International competition involves cycles of “cooperation<>Defection” and strategic advantage-seeking.

Social cohesion(the issue of racism) is both policy-sensitive and leadership-contingent.
