"...the Sudan Solidarity Collective have argued that Mr. Hamdok’s coalition should not be seen as the main representative of the Sudanese people, partly bcs of its alleged links to the UAE, which is the biggest weapons supplier to the RSF. "

Black politicians haven’t realized identity politics has run its course. Now you actually need strong policies to run on. Being black w no real progressive strategies you not gone win you no elections.

[Nisrin Elamin @minlayla77]

For months the mainstream media orchestrated a purposeful lack of coverage of what is happening on the ground in Darfur and elsewhere in Sudan, refusing to call out the external actors like the UAE, as folks in Sudan + the diaspora were warning of what we are witnessing today.

[Yousra Elbagir @YousraElbagir]

I have had a chill in my bones since Sunday. What is happening in Al Fashir is making my blood run cold - the more we dig, the colder it feels. God have mercy.

Lady this is just vile.

“Opposing the genocide in Sudan is about saving Sudan. Opposing the genocide in Gaza is about saving ourselves. “

Just delete this.

YOU ARE A FUCKING IDIOT SAYING A WHOLE BUNCH OF NOTHING TO AVOID SAYING U ARE RACIST

[Caitlin Johnstone @caitoz]

Do you notice how nobody's losing their jobs for criticizing the genocidal atrocities in Sudan?

How mainstream western politicians are able to call out the RSF and the UAE without having their careers nuked by high-powered lobby groups?

How the western media aren't churning out op-eds concern trolling about the possibility that anyone who opposes the el-Fasher massacres is actually a closet Nazi?

How opposition to mass murder in Darfur isn't being algorithmically hidden by Silicon Valley plutocrats?

How anyone who posts footage of an RSF war crime online isn't being swarmed by an army of full-time trolls making excuses justifying the atrocities and accusing those who criticize them of being hateful bigots?

How western governments and institutions aren't doing everything they can to stomp out all speech that is critical of this particular humanitarian crisis?

That's the difference, right there. That's why many westerners have been paying special attention to Gaza.

For the last two years anyone who publicly criticized Israel's genocidal abuses in the Gaza Strip would be confronted by hasbarists saying "Why are you paying so much attention to Gaza instead of Sudan? You must just HATE JEWS!!"

No, dipshit, I'm paying more attention to Gaza because my government isn't trying to make it illegal for me to criticize the RSF. Every major western institution isn't dedicated to facilitating genocide in Sudan and crushing all speech which opposes it. My rulers aren't backing a genocide in Sudan and commanding me to support it.

The ongoing nightmare in Sudan is largely a product of the abuses of the western empire. The UAE is an imperial client state who the US and its allies recently supported in its years-long genocidal war on Yemen in partnership with Saudi Arabia. There are all kinds of threads you can trace back to western allies and partners in this genocide, as is the case for most of the worst things that happen in our world these days.

But it's clearly different. Clearly. The evidence for this is in the extent to which western institutions have been protecting the genocide in Gaza versus the genocide in Sudan. Israel's abuses are much more intimately interwoven into the guts of the imperial machine than those of the RSF, who Washington will take a blowtorch to the instant it becomes geopolitically advantageous.

Israel's abuses are completely inseparable and indistinct from the abuses of my own government. I've been focusing more on Gaza than on Sudan for the same reason I'd be more concerned if I knew my husband was murdering hitch hikers than I would be about reports of a serial killer in Brazil.

It is right and good that the world is turning against the UAE, opposing western backing for that malignant state, and standing in firm opposition to what is happening in Sudan. But the complete lack of institutional resistance we've been seeing to this opposition shows that this genocide is much less dear to the heart of the empire than the genocide in Gaza.

Opposing the genocide in Sudan is about saving Sudan. Opposing the genocide in Gaza is about saving ourselves. Saving our free speech. Saving our political systems. Saving our hearts. Saving our minds. Saving our soul.

This current starvation in Sudan is directly caused by all warring parties, the RSF, Sudan Armed Forces, SPLM -Alhello, and other allied armed groups, as well as their armed suppliers, mainly the UAE. It is also the responsibility of international actors, including the UN Special Envoy, the AU, and Sudanese civilian politicians, none of whom are making any effort to ease and negotiate access to humanitarian aid, which is a shame.

This campaign supports families in Sudan going through unimaginable circumstances.

Even $1 goes a long way!

If you’re going to talk about famine & starvation, you need to talk about Sudan.

Since August 2024, many regions have been declared in Phase 5, the HIGHEST level of food insecurity.

A year of the WORST famine the world has seen in 40 years & no real uproar from the world.

[Hiba Morgan @hiba_morgan]

It’s worth remembering that people are still fleeing from Darfur to Chad where there is little to no aid, and yet are, for the most part, ignored by the world.

AND sudan. would it literally kill people to acknowledge sudan?honestly i’m just trying to understand. the flag is literally right there.

[gha*da 𓋹 #BoycottUAE @ghayo0da]

Horrific news to wake up to.

40+ dead and hundreds more wounded after artillery strikes by the UAE-backed Rapid Support Militia in Omdurman today. Hospitals are overwhelmed, unable to cope with the flood of casualties. This militia must face accountability, and the UAE must be held responsible for arming them. The people of Sudan cannot be left to suffer without consequences for those who enable this violence.

the amnesia i witnessed of folks praising the SAF last week ….

[Eva @Evalopa]

I am still horrified and frozen by the killings. It’s one thing to hear and read descriptions of the crimes and torture committed against South Sudanese by North Sudan for decades. It’s a whole different type of pain and trauma to see it. There must be accountability.

this week marked 600 days of a war that has turned my homeland into a cemetery. i cried on the phone as i interviewed my aunt about her escape. i cried with a friend in a public restaurant over lunch… 🧵

Survivors have testified girls as young as 11 were raped by the Rapid Support Forces militia in Sudan, with some victims taking their own lives as a result of the violence.

I can not stress how vital this kitchen is for saving lives.

A large part of the RSF’s brutal siege of El Fasher is aimed at starving out civilians, but the KAK volunteers are working hard to keep people fed despite constant attacks.
