Sudanisation

Sudan is the ancient land of Kus, from which all the gold of Egypt came for centuries, it is the location of the biblical mines of King Solomon. Khartoum is about six million people in one city on the Nile. Fighting is going on in the city, with the use of aviation. It is available to the army commanded by Abd al-Fattah Abd ar-Rahman al-Burhan. Their opponent of the Rapid Reaction Force Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo seems to be losing. Probably, because during the fighting in the city little is known. Besides, it's far away. For now, it is not worth learning the names of the main actors. From a non-Polish, but more Western perspective, the war in the vicinity of Donetsk and Bakhmut looks similar. Invest time and attention in distinguishing Shoygu and Gierasimov from Prigozhin? Study who is a real general and who is a cook or a camel chasing? Read who cut out what number to whom? Without exaggeration, Prigożin's last (actingly poor) "dramatic" performance against the background of his wagoners (https://twitter.com/i/status/1654397764569104384) awakens hope. 

Five minutes of glazing, straight to the "peoples of Russia" and suddenly the Russian Federation resembles Sudan. Here and there some local warmen fight, they throw insults at each other, compete for everything. It's not a joke, blood is shed, civilians are dying. For the fighters, these are apparently not important issues. Power, some raw materials is the whole pool for which you compete. In terms of the thickness of the myth-bearing layers, the deserts of Sudan are not inferior to wild Siberia. Both of these countries, both of these wars, have an increasing chance of becoming similar to each other in European heads. The classic, Freudian defense mechanism will work, reducing frustrations and anxiety. 

Transfer (The Übertragung) Russia into the depths of the "black land" is another, overt (though fantasmatic) injustice of whiteheads. Africa has had enough of its own plagues. Displacement (Verschiebung) The image of the war in Ukraine somewhere where people are "completely different" than us (and do not bleed red) will sooner or later spread in a European, comfortable perspective. From the Polish point of view, the Sudanization of Russia is identical to the sudden realization of Russian fairy tales that have been spinning for a long time in the West. 

As long as we don't fantasize about the adventures of Stas and Nel among the wild natives, it can be quite a beneficial phantasm. 

It must be remembered that sooner or later a wave of refugees will reach us and at a certain height it will have no meaning the colour and source, far from the sources of the White and Blue Nile.

Russia's GDP (2018) per capita is $11,947, Sudan's GDP (2013) is $2040. 

There is something to compare to. Economically, it is easier to equalize downwards.
