An important piece here. Many attribute the lack of international attention to the genocide in Sudan to the idea that it is a civil conflict, irrelevant to larger powers. But this article articulates why that is not the case.
The UAE has been supplying weapons and financial backing to the RSF, and despite accusations of genocide from both the Biden and Trump administrations, the U.S. continues to sell arms to Abu Dhabi.
Encouraging continued adherence to the Abraham Accords, control over Sudan’s gold reserves, access to Red Sea shipping routes, and expanded regional influence across the Horn of Africa are some of the reasons why.
Framing it as only a civil conflict enables contributors to bypass responsibility. It’s so crucial to not forget about this terrible humanitarian crisis.
All for the gold and diamonds , minerals right U.S. you make my stomach sick. This is a corrupt world. Im ashamed that the America I live in that’s supposed to be the greatest place to be does nothing to stop this genocide in Sudan, But is actually a part of it. It’s just so shameful. and we’re supposed to be proud Americans. Proud of what?
I can't believe all the genocides that are being purpetrated in 2025. My children and grandchildren are Native American.....we know about genocide and at some degree still ongoing. Many reserves cant even drink the water. We feel the pain and I feel for them....since america is sending many and not just in the US but in european countries sending people back. Please keep your new Mayor protected...many have been killed.
Unfortunately this is the kind of future we have in store for us with those in charge paying no attention to the effects of climate change and environmental destruction. The less resources available the more conflict arises and “The Wretched of the
Earth” are eliminated or enslaved. Very grim future if we continue to move in this direction. Where will all the climate/war refugees go if no one is allowing them in?
"Citizen complicity in war and war crimes... courage to accept the destabilizing truth that democracy does not offer absolution, but intensifies responsibility."
Thank you for amplifying our voices and shedding light on our suffering in my country, . I truly appreciate your effort in publishing this article and bringing our story to this platform …
Thank you for bringing these issues up. People can only care if they know! With all the media in the US beginning to suppress the voices of the other side of issues it is good that people like you still try to inform. The world as we know it is going through it's worst transition of cruelty in centuries! The issues facing poorer nations are mounting because of greed. Keep speaking out and teaching people how to fight in their own individual ways. Then it becomes a collective wave of dissent. Governments are our employees. If we don't agree with their stance we should say so. Being vocal with "boots on the ground" in protest is a way everybody gets heard. Yes a country feels they have to take care of "number one" themselves first but to ignore others completely allows these disastrous conditions to keep affecting the ENTIRE world. Borders are how warlords contain their hold on people.
I was aware that conditions in Darfur were dire, but I had no idea they had devolved to such an abysmal level. Holy shit. Hey Qasim and Mo, even though this news of deplorable genocide in the name of greed is…well, hard to stomach, thanks for sharing it with the needed explanations. 💔
Thank you for sharing this. Not only am I gonna save this article for myself and share this with everyone I know, but I will be boycotting UAE and everything owned by UAE out of respect and honor for the Sudanese people. I’ll also sign petitions and contact my reps and senators about this. I highly doubt they’ll do anything about it cuz these are the same ppl that are ride or die for Israel and fund the genocide in Gaza at the same time (Adam Schiff, Alex Padilla, and Brad Sherman).
THEY are your employees. So tell them you will fire them if they don't start doing the job right. Using your taxes to wage war on the worlds poorest countries is not going to help your country to prosper either. We should have equality for all not just for ourselves, else we become those warlords too.
Thank you for posting this letter. It is hard to remain hopeful but with citizens like Mo running for office and change, I find some light. I will call my representatives. I agree stop the arms sales.

So good to explain the madness and clarifying the genocide.

I am grateful for this clear article documenting the suffering. It has been a hard story to decode in the news.

Who is supposed to step in ?

There is so much pain and suffering every day. Don’t we have enough problems to solve? But this administration has completely failed! 😞
THEY are your employees. So tell them you will fire them if they don't start doing the job right.

I am looking forward to your future article. Thank you for bringing these atrocities and their causes to our attention.
