Al Jazeera Wonders Where Refugees Go While Western Media Ignores Who Made Them
Al Jazeera laments the displacement of 80,000 people in Sudan due to the RSF's capture of el-Fasher, deepening a 'humanitarian crisis'. Conveniently, the mainstream narrative rarely connects these dots to Washington's unwavering support for regional proxies or the arms manufacturers cashing in. For decades, Western powers have meddled, funded, and fought proxy wars across Africa, creating the
instability that generates these very refugee flows. We are consistently presented with the 'what,' never the 'why' or 'who financed it.' One might wonder if the same policymakers who approved drone strikes or supplied arms to warring factions will be asking 'where will they go?' as their own policies create the next wave of displacement. Call it a humanitarian crisis – a tragedy, sure – but never
a predictable outcome of foreign policy choices.
