ABC News Finds Famine, Ignores US Complicity
While ABC News breaks the earth-shattering news that famine is worsening in Sudan—a conflict zone, imagine that—it sidesteps the uncomfortable history. The 'global hunger authority' (or, presumably, the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification) didn't just stumble upon this, nor is it a natural disaster. It's a man-made catastrophe, exacerbated by continuous arms flows and regional
destabilization, much of it tacitly— or overtly—supported by nations claiming to be humanitarian. One might wonder where all those dollars go when famine grips a nation. Perhaps it's less about 'aid' and more about maintaining 'strategic interests.' The same policymakers who lament famine often greenlight the very weapons deals and foreign policies that fuel such crises elsewhere. The silence on
external enablers of the Sudanese conflict speaks volumes louder than the latest starvation statistics.
