VICE News This is Real news & real broadcast journalism. Not sure that ppl understand anymore that on site facts are expensive but opinions are cheap. Very impressed with Vice news for undertaking the expenses to cover real news & to pack facts into its coverage to make it efficient & effective.
Stop with the annoying censorship
Barsabus By censorship do you mean blurring faces or images or something else. I feel kind of dumb for not noticing. 😀
Poor man`s gym Yes breeding in those conditions has always confused me. Not sure the cars are doing them any good. Despite all that oil they have almost no gasoline. When poor countries have oil there’s always a struggle to keep them from using it to provide cheap energy for their own ppl & sell the rest to pay the costs of their own government. I will never understand how anyone can decide to have children while living in those conditions.
And some people try to say that colonisation was bad! Then come to UK and try to destroy it in retaliation.

If you really think about it, that question is pointless.. of course he is going to say no.

@@agentK1896 We got to see him squirm a little. He knows what he is deep down.

Isobel needs to be recognized for her honest journalism. We live in a world where a 9 year old has to control his tears for his murdered brother.

So sad to see that many children and women are suffering.
@@Billy7Hanna Much better for foreign investors
She has 2 emmys
I am from Bangladesh. I still remember the time when my father was posted in South Sudan, Libya, Egypt and other african countires for UN peacekeeping missions. The day my father left for Sudan from Bangladesh, I cried alot and the entire day at school I was depressed and worried for the safety of my father and the thought that i would never see him again. I was 7 years old during that time and didn't know much about the world. Recently after turning 19 this year, i am seeing these documentaries and I am more than proud of my father. I am not the best son in the world but he sure is the best father in the world. P.S. my father is well and alive, he is now a Colonel of the Bangladesh army. I still have some of his pictures from his tour in africa in my old laptop.
God bless your Dad brother, Thanks for sharing I really appreciate it , God bless you🙏🏿❤️

Do you have the video when he reunted with his family?
What struck me the most was how emotional everyone was about Bol’s return. From his sister, to the neighbours, to just random people. No matter who they are, people just want their loved ones near them; blood-related or not.

Isobel is literally the goat. Most journalists have some annoying sassiness to them like they know everything. But she is genuinely there to learn and really question all while having a heart.
She's amazing in so many videos in all regions of the world. She must be the Michael Jordan of their journalism team or something. Keep it up Isobel, it gives us a reason to keep watching Vice although they've changed a bit since the old days.
She's irritating. Doesn't know how to interview people.

Miguel Azada other African countries are like this too sadly. For instance, the Congo and Somalia. Also latin american countries are like these as well, such as mexico and honduras.
"are you corrupt?" minister: *shock pikachu face* bet he didn't see that coming
They tend to think they are untouchable as the evilness pollutes their vision.
thinking the same. LOL!
And I thought US politicians were insufferable xD
mrbooyeah No one is untouchable. Some are hard to reach yes. Plenty of corrupt people have been arrested or killed.
12:37 I am a Sudanese born and I was like that when I finally met my family in Khartoum/Sudan in December 2006. Although I was 30, hours, days, weeks, months, years and decades had become customary to me whenever I thought about my brothers. 18 years had gone and pretty lost my teenage and became an adult and responsible so early. Today I am 45 and seeing this kid with his family reunited just brought tears to my eyes. I continue to pray for my South Sudan and Sudan.
damn, that ending brought tears to my eyes.
This is some strong stuff, Bol's reunion with his family literally had me crying

Me too
Makes you really sit back and think how lucky and blessed we are.
What about those in South Sudan?
Americans: crying about multiple genders South Sudan:
@D Legionnaire is there on Netflix also?
The reason you're so lucky and blessed is exactly because of the imperialist practices your countries have over developing countries like Sudan. And it's not even you benefiting from all of this- only a handful of rich people. We need to abolish capitalism.
@@beyond_modernity8554 right, they indeed feel blessed not knowing that their government often pulls strings behind the scenes ... Capitalism has 2 faces. Only one of those is evil. Its the people in turn to decide if they capitalice with or without doing harm to others. Cant blame the sole desire for wealth as the root of all evil!
Breaks my heart listening to the kids' stories. It was really sweet and lovely to see they're united again at the end.
Isobel is literally MVP. She CONFRONTED the Ministry of Information like a champ.

@Helen Brown South Sudan has been in near constant civil war since.... 1955, when Bill Clinton was a 9 year old kid in Hot Springs, central Arkansas. Not to mention that the peace treaty that is generally considered to have precipitated the current crisis (by granting a single group near total control of South Sudan and excluding dozens of other groups) was negotiated between 2003-5, when Bill Clinton was notably not President.

from the other sudan here, i love my south sudanese brothers and sisters and hope everything gets better for you
You can notice he was surprised by her question, his voice suddenly lowered

stop simping
🤣
She defiantly is taking a major risk by confronting such dangerous people without backing down from her line of questioning. I'm sure the others in this thread are just being "silly" (At least i hope so for their sake's) As i'm sure they would not have the balls to do what she has done even with a few UN guards nearby who may or may not be able to actually defend their guest should the local officials decide to arrest the person on the grounds of insulting the state/government and the subsequent disappearance of said guest.
She's so awesome at her job
When two warlords can't even share the oil between themselves, how the hell will they share it with the people!!!
Old tribal conflicts don't die easy, then you throw in money and things get worse.
Thats the problem of being a young African country. Tribal clashes is very much existing in the beginning and people align themselves more in their tribes for trust and security because you speak the same language. Thereafter an individual from their tribe begin to steal the country's resources and this brings an outcry nation wide but there tribesmen back their corrupt fellow because they don't want to see him persecuted even though they know he or she is at fault. This thing will take generations to heal or an extremely good leadership at helm like Tanzania with their founding father Julius Nyerere..
*Greed remains unquenched*
i was in tears watching this. Isobel shows us the most raw realities of our world. i really appreciate everything in my life right now.
