ABC News Blames Drone for Civilian Deaths, Not Operators
ABC News reports on a "paramilitary drone attack" in Sudan that killed 50, including 33 children. The passive phrasing (drone attack, not 'people using drone attacked') subtly deflects from the human element—the finger on the trigger, the financiers of the conflict, and, pointedly, the manufacturers of the drone itself. One might wonder who profits when these weapons rain down on civilians. This
isn't about 'drones gone rogue.' This is about the global arms industry, where lucrative contracts for drones and other advanced weaponry fuel conflicts worldwide. While ABC paints a picture of random tragedy, the actual question is: who supplied the drone? Who profits from the escalating violence in Sudan? It’s rarely 'paramilitaries' themselves designing and manufacturing these sophisticated
instruments of death, yet the media avoids tracing the blood money.
