Another genocide the US and Israel are funding and supporting. These type of things don’t happen without the US or the western empire, being behind it.

I’ve heard the UAE have also joined in, profiting off of genocide.

“, and write to your member of Congress to demand action and peace.“ what’s that look like? How does the U.S. stop a terrorist insurgency in a foreign country? Peace keeping forces? Boots on the ground to support sdf? Humanitarian aid to keep society functioning as much as possible? Drone strikes on RSF? Genuine question. What should the U.S. do?

The US can stop funding it. The US is almost always fueling these wars. Genocide is a specialty of the US.

Humanitarian aid, UN support and pressure, perhaps UN peace keepers. All of the above. But they won't act unless we raise our voices for them to act.

Nicholas Kristof, NYT, has done a great series of stories and one great Q&A about Sudan. I learned who are the two main combatants and what drives their philosophies. Sadly racism seems to be a big feature.

Racism has always been the driving feature in these atrocities.

Seems to me that racism is a direct path towards dehumanization

Why is this war happening? What resource are the combatants fighting over? Who are the proxies supporting each side financially? What’s in it for them?

The US, Israel, and NATO. The usual customers that profit off of genocide and resource theft. These things don’t happen, otherwise.

Thank You, Qasim, for reporting this horror to us, showing us how we can help the people there, and for your incredible donation.🙏🏽 So true about legacy media and the tiny amount they report isn’t real information. Sharing your post with fam and friends.

One thing to add – the United Arab Emirates is enabling the RSF in their genocidal onslaught.

Legacy media won’t tell you the truth about why it’s happening.

I've written about this several times before, and discussed it several times on my nationally broadcast SiriusXM show. And while you may have "seen media," I tend to believe the UN workers in Sudan telling us they're struggling to get media attention: https://www.unocha.org/news/un-relief-chief-tells-media-very-very-difficult-get-attention-sudan

So...thanks for reading this, but you're wrong on both your points.
