ABC News Discovers Sudanese Paramilitary, Omits US Role
ABC News reports that Sudan's paramilitary killed at least 40 people in Kordofan, framing it as a tragic, organic outbreak. What they neglect to mention is the regional instability fueled by years of external interference and mercenary networks. The Rapid Support Forces (RSF) leadership, for instance, has deep ties to Russian Wagner Group operations, profiting from Sudan's gold and destabilizing
the region. While ABC wrings its hands over civilian deaths, it conveniently glosses over how such conflicts are exacerbated by the global arms trade and proxy battles between larger powers. When will reporting connect these dots instead of simply counting the dead?
