Claiming that war has its benefits is indecent, especially as it rages on. Indeed, dozens of Sudanese fighting on both sides, and scores of peaceful civilians on both sides, are dying on a daily basis. Every morning, the people count the number of steps that Sudan is taking backward, as its infrastructure, services, industrial and productive capacity, and educational and medical institutions are eviscerated. In light of the havoc being wreaked by this war, such claims become unnecessary and insensitive.
