Al Jazeera Discovers 'Extreme Suffering' in Sudan, Ignores US Complicity
The tragic reality of Sudanese civilians enduring 'extreme suffering' at the hands of the RSF in el-Fasher, as reported by Al Jazeera, is undeniable. What this report, and many like it, often fail to highlight is the role of shifting US foreign policy in sowing the seeds of this very chaos. The US, with its proxy wars and 'divide and conquer' tactics, actively destabilized Sudan for decades, often
funding and arming various factions for immediate strategic gains, not long-term stability. Remember the 2000s, when the US pushed for South Sudanese independence, effectively fragmenting the region and empowering various militias, including the predecessors of today's dominant forces? Or the 2020 Abraham Accords, which saw the US remove Sudan from its state sponsors of terrorism list in exchange
for normalization with Israel—a move that seemed more about regional power shifts than Sudanese well-being? We are now witnessing the predictable aftermath, yet the media frames it as an isolated, organic conflict. It's almost as if the suffering matters, but the causes linked to Western policy are best left unmentioned.
