The Cost of Silence: How diaspora Neutrality Serves the Siege on Sudan
In recent weeks, as the siege and starvation on El-Fashir, Kadugli and Diling reached unimaginable levels, a segment of the Sudanese diaspora — often self-identifying as liberal or progressive — has adopted a deeply troubling tone in their commentary on the sieges.
Rather than confronting the political architecture behind the starvation, shelling, and forced displacement in these cities, they present these crises as unfortunate humanitarian episodes, detached from any actors, motives, or agendas.
This depoliticization is not harmless. It blurs the line between victim and perpetrator, and ultimately serves the aggressor’s interests by evacuating any sense of responsibility or agency.
At the heart of this failure is a deeper confusion — or perhaps a refusal — to internalize the reality that Sudan is under foreign-backed mercenary invasion. Cities are not starving on their own. Food is not running out naturally. Civilians are not caught in random crossfire. These are deliberate acts, imposed with intent, carried out by Abu Dhabi’s militias and their network of foreign fighters. They are funded, armed, and politically shielded by the UAE regime. To pretend otherwise is to erase both the suffering and the cause.
The illusion of neutrality fully collapses when one confronts the facts on the ground. In El-Fashir, Abu Dhabi’s militias did not merely lay siege — they imported modern anti-aircraft systems, including radar-guided weapons, and deployed them around the city. To do so, they uprooted over half a million Sudanese civilians from the Zamzam IDP camp, turning it into a forward base and barracks for foreign mercenaries operating artillery, long-range drones, and air defense batteries. This was to block humanitarian airdrops by the Sudanese air force and ensure full starvation of the population. What part of this resembles a natural disaster?
The paradox deepens when one considers the Colombian mercenaries operating in Darfur. What are they doing there? Are they part of a flood or a famine? No — they are the embodiment of a regional campaign, spearheaded by Abu Dhabi, to fragment Sudan, wipe out its people, and occupy its territory. To speak of this reality without naming it is not neutrality — it is narrative laundering. These UAE-made catastrophes could end tomorrow if the UAE-backed militias lifted their sieges and allowed aid to flow. The decision to obscure this fact protects the perpetrators, not the people.
Many of these diaspora voices operate under the unnerving illusion that simply “raising awareness” or “keeping eyes on Sudan” is a meaningful end in itself — as if the world doesn’t already know. As if Sudanese pain needs to be re-performed daily for it to be valid. But what Sudan needs is not spectatorship. It needs clarity. It needs eyes that recognize that this is a war of subjugation and annihilation — and solidarity grounded in an acknowledgment of Sudanese agency and resistance. Not pity. Not posture. Not silence masquerading as balance.
This complicity may not be conscious or intentional, but it stems from ingrained biases — political, psychological, or otherwise — that prioritize positioning over truth. In the process, these voices unwittingly echo the language of aggressors: replacing occupation with “conflict,” and calls for real solidarity with empty slogans like “keepEyesonSudan.” But Sudanese people are not asking for the world’s pity, nor do we seek to turn our suffering into spectacle. We want solidarity rooted in recognition of our right to resist, to exist, and to live freely — solidarity that confronts aggression, not one that looks on helplessly or seeks comfort in performative awareness.

"لم تكن معركة أم صميمه غرب مدينة الأبيض أمس الأحد معركة خاطفة توجت نهايتها بنصر للقوات المسلحة والمشتركة والمساندة؛ بل كانت ملحمة بطولية سالت فيها دمـ.ـاء غالية وعزيزة، وهى كبوة وهفوه نتاج سلسلة من التراجعات بعد خمول متحركات التحرير"
My father’s hometown in Northern State is about to enter its third month without electricity..
This isn’t just a crisis, it’s a deliberate tragedy that demands urgent action before it’s too late.
Will u find a solution only after they all perish!
