Sudan: "The Enemies of the Brotherhood"

The current situation in Sudan and its civil war reminds me of "The Enemies of the Brotherhood," a famous novel by the Greek writer Nikos Kazantzakis. It narrates the story of an internal conflict in a Greek village during the civil war in the late 1940s.

The events revolve around a rift between communist partisans and government forces, focusing on the village priest Yanaros, who grapples with philosophical doubts about good and evil, patriotism, and justice.

Kazantzakis explores how brothers become enemies through fanaticism and war, drawing inspiration from the Greek Civil War following World War II.
