The biggest hunger crisis in the world is unfolding in Sudan, and it is manmade. As of now, more than half of the country’s 45 million people urgently need humanitarian assistance. In May, the United Nations warned that 18 million Sudanese are “acutely hungry” including 3.6 million children who are “acutely malnourished.”
Heirs of the infamous Janjaweed militia—the ethnic Arab fighters who inflicted massacre and starvation in Darfur between 2003 and 2005, leaving over 150,000 civilians dead—they use this plunder to sustain their war machine. The SAF, which is the dominant power in the United Nations-recognized government of Sudan, has blocked humanitarian aid to the vast areas of the country under RSF control.
Is it possible, do you think, to be against two genocides at the same time? Or is that just the latest yoga trend for poor people?
There are far more than two genocides going on right now. The fact that only one of them (and a small one at that) is getting any mainstream support is the problem.
The Uyghurs and Tibetans have been forgotten about, but check out my temu Palestinian flag, it was only $3.
You also appear to have forgotten the Rohingya
The Haitians and Ukrainians, too. :(
The Haitians aren’t really a genocide by most definitions.
Ukraine is getting media (and financial) attention.
Yeah Haiti just kinda imploded. Sure it has a lot of the markers but there are sonmany other factors that it just kinda makes it a bit too grey.
You’re right I had forgotten them. Unfortunately, there’s a long list of oppressed people.
That was my original point, long list of genocides, and only Palestine getting any public attention in the west.
Your original point was repeating my point that there’s plenty of overlooked oppression/genocide?
