The article is not wrong. But the reality is, we’ve tried to help places like a Sudan a lot over the decades. I’d say we helped TOO MUCH.

We sent food aid which made them dependent on us. It didn’t incentivise them to fix their issues, it just made them reliant on outside help. Meanwhile, the population skyrocketed. There’s more mouths to feed, more famine, more conflict.

At some point, a country needs to fix whatever’s broken. And it won’t be pretty; it never is. But I don’t think interfering in an internal conflict like this will do any good to anyone. Can we as the west even reasonably figure out who the ‘good guys’ and ‘bad guys’ are in this conflict? Is there even a good or bad side to begin with?

okay so let me get this straight. it's up to me to sort out the fascism in my home country, stop the genocide in sudan, stop the genocide in gaza, stop the genocide in ukraine, stop the genocide in china, would you also like a pony sir? what ever happened to a people's responsibility of self determination that y'all keep throwing in my face whenever i mention that the orange fuckface has become an international problem and it's time to start employing economic sanctions to try reining in the united states? y'all stop your own genocides.

It's so frustrating that we are living through an active genocide (again) and doing absolutely nothing (again). In my youth, when there wasn't yet a 24 hour news cycle and I learned about the genocide in Rwanda as a teenager, it was my naive belief at the time that a lack of knowledge was the main reason for the general indifference in "the West". A year later the genocide in Bosnia, especially the massacre at Srebrenica, was headline news in my home country of the Netherlands and yet people seemed to collectively just shrug that off just as quickly as it happened. Now, many years later, I've become much more cynical. If you want people to care about unjustified murder you should either make sure to have your country located really really close to "the West", but even that is just of limited use to Ukraine, or make sure that the killing happens to take place at the hands of mostly Jewish people, although most Palestinians can attest to the fact that while media attention is good, action is still lacking.

There's much less direct military funding and support fueling Sudan so most people have no real outlet or mechanism for addressing it beyond support for humanitarian aid efforts and the UN.

There's not an easily identified or direct policy that can be pointed at, as if an actor were receiving billions direct military aid and support. Like, even Israel is split on which side they're supporting. Ukraine and Russia alike have supported opposition to the RSF.

What is the world supposed to do? Invade?

What are other African nations doing about it?

When has the human race ever cared about a genocide, absent some material reason to do so?

How can you talk about this, when there's an ongoing genocide in Gaza? /s

It's actually very sad, that a lot of harm could be prevented here, if it got even a tenth of the Gaza media coverage. But here it's not Jews killing Arabs, but Arabs killing Africans. For some reason the left often turns a blind eye to Arab violence. And the right doesn't care because they are killing Africans.

At least that's my theory. It certainly also has something to do with Cameras and free press being a lot less common in Sudan. That leads to less pictures and videos, which leads to less social media engagement.

Maybe someone should tell trump that there is gold in Sudan. Maybe that'll get some intervention. He seems to be very trigger happy as of late.
