Welcome to the Opinion of the Poor channel. Opinion of the Poor is an analytical and investigative platform that follows Sudanese affairs in depth and in a language accessible to the people. It unpacks what lies behind the headlines: from the war economy, corruption, and extortion, to smuggling networks (gold, weapons, fuel) and supply chains, and the collapse of basic services such as water, electricity, health, and education. The channel presents investigative reports and explanatory episodes that connect the internal and external realities, explaining the roles of local actors (the army, the Rapid Support Forces, armed movements, and centers of influence) and their interactions with regional and international powers (Egypt, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Ethiopia, and the complexities of the Red Sea and the Horn of Africa). The channel's goal is not to simply repeat the news, but to transform it into a comprehensible picture: Who benefits? Who pays the price? And how is the new state being shaped under the pressure of war, the economy, and politics? Opinion of the Poor offers content based on argument, logic, and comparison, addressing viewers seeking a deeper understanding of the Sudanese landscape, free from propaganda and polarization. Episode Description: Can an armed organization that emerged in a war environment transform into a state that governs a people and institutions? In this investigative episode of "The Opinion of the Oppressed," we discuss the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) project, moving beyond slogans and political propaganda. We deconstruct the project's foundations from the perspectives of state science, political economy, and institution building. We examine the relationship between a war economy and a state economy, between personal loyalty and the rule of law, and between military control and political legitimacy. We explore the reasons why any project attempting to transition from a logic of force to a logic of statehood often falters. We also examine how leadership structure, the nature of funding, human rights abuses, and internal and external recognition all influence the prospects for establishing a stable authority capable of governing Sudan. This episode, based on investigative analysis and institutional reading, poses a pivotal question: Is military force sufficient to build a nation, or does a state require entirely different elements?
