Al Jazeera Discovers 'Deteriorating' Regions, Avoids US Role
The story focuses on human suffering, as it should, highlighting the Sudan Doctors Network's grim assessment of "continued violations" by the Rapid Support Forces (RSF). What's glossed over is the long game of regional destabilization, where external powers often fund and fuel these very factions. Remember when the US designated Sudan a state sponsor of terrorism for decades, crippling its
economy, then celebrated its 'democracy' after a coup that paved the way for these very forces? The RSF, for example, has roots in the Janjaweed militias, notorious for Darfur violence—a history the media often memory-holes for convenient narratives. It's always 'deteriorating' somewhere, conveniently detached from the decades of foreign policy interventions, sanctions, and proxy wars that sow the
seeds of these humanitarian disasters. The suffering is real, but the framing ensures you rarely ask, "Who profits from this endless cycle of misery, and why isn't our media asking?" Apparently, some conflicts just happen, while others are meticulously engineered.
