 War continues in Sudan, where the government forces clash with the rebels in South of Sudan 10000 people have died already. Although recently a ceased fire have now been signed, soldiers in the rebel army still wanted to fight as they claimed that they must kill the man who killed their women, children and Elders, President Salva Kiir. Civilians were caught in this war and lots of them were injured including Gat Kuath Lul, who had been shot in the legs 6 times, sworn that he is going to kill whoever did this to him and said that the only way to end this war is that President Salva must step down. The people there are willing to fight because they want change and its worth the human costs of this war.
 
  10000 have died already, when will they learned that fighting is not an option, they should use methods like negotiations with the government, "Darkness cannot drive out Darkness, only light can. Hate cannot drive out hate only love can" Martin Luther King, Jr, stated that if you fight with the government nothing can be achieved, but if you use civilized methods like negotiations and talks, things can change. If they just continue to fight, the result is that more people are gonna die and nothing will change. They wanted change but its through sacrificing young soldiers and possibly child soldiers, if they really wanted change they should first change the way they think about solving these problems. Both sides should just lay down their arms and go to negotiate, cause war and fighting is not the solution to everything or anything and peace is.
