Narcissistic Acts: Statistical Measures of War!

By: Alaa Babiker

To understand and apply the statistical measures of the to the going war in Sudan, one needs to understand What is war analysis? one aspect of the answer is given at The Encyclopedia Britannica, in which “The analysis of war may be divided into several categories. Philosophical, political, economic, technological, legal, sociological, and psychological approaches are frequently distinguished. These distinctions indicate the varying focuses of interest and the different analytical categories employed by the theoretician, but most of the actual theories are mixed because war is an extremely complex social phenomenon that cannot be explained by any single factor or through any single approach”.

What are the causes of war? And what are the factors to drive sudden emerge of wars?
Wars are rarely suddenly emerged, specially of political type, in which prolonged sequences of events, actions, and decisions will end up getting extremely complicated, and more occurring when having multiple political parties and associations with completely different political backgrounds and visions, then the extent occurring of disagreements and arguments are to arise. Adding to this the diversity of the ruling parties, and the presence of everlasting racism in the scenes. The multiple ethnicities with bad background grudges still inside many souls of the political magnitudes only worsen the situation, and it will not disappear so easily even after the emerge of war.

In data analytics and data science, there are four main types of data analysis: Descriptive, diagnostic, predictive, and prescriptive. Taking these four aspects to analyze war and its complication, one should consider all the involving parts of a war; parties causing the war (the fighters), and parties who are damaged by war actions (population, and land).

In the current occurring war in Sudan, the population is the first victim of the actions of war that is lasting for more than 14 months now. Without any obvious positive signs towards the end. The people and the land are disappointed by the results of this war. It started with promises of democracy and prosperity. It is going with robbery and murders, and no one can predict where it will lead.

In the end, may Allah grant peace and wisdom upon our leaders to end this war.
