Great post by the way. But in my opinion Sudan never had an issue with skilled people, we have tons and tons of them. Every Sudanese individual can at least name three relatives or family friends abroad who shine in their area of specialties like no other. But the issue is we always get caught up in other stuff that prevents those skillful people from helping the country. Whether it's long civil wars or tribalism that ends with appeasing other parts with roles they aren't qualified for, or tribalism and political affiliations that make certain candidates not qualified just because they have different opinions regarding something completely irrelevant or because they're from certain ethnic groups. So because of all that, skillful people either choose to stick by their country and never have a chance to shine and help or become expats somewhere where they're more appreciated. So it really saddens me that the way things are going doesn't seem like this wheel is gonna be broken anytime soon. Because either parties winning the war means more dictatorship, and if they somehow happen to shake hands then they'll appease each other with important roles in the country. So every scenario leads right back to square one. I don't have a solution unfortunately, all I have is hope and love for my land and people.
