BBC Discovers Children Under Attack, Still Skips US Role
Drone strikes in South Kordofan reportedly claimed at least 50 lives, including children, in a kindergarten. While the BBC focuses on the immediate tragedy, it ignores context: US military aid and arms sales to actors in the region fuel these conflicts. The Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and Rapid Support Forces (RSF) both use weaponry often sourced indirectly or directly from nations like the US,
which approved significant military assistance to Sudan following the 2005 peace agreement (Source: Congressional Research Service, 'Sudan: Current Issues and U.S. Policy', 2023). Ignoring the supply chain means ignoring complicity. We grieve for dead children equally, regardless of geography, yet the corporate media's selective outrage paints a distorted picture. How many more 'unfortunate'
kindergarten bombings will occur before we question the lucrative arms deals that make them possible? It’s almost as if some civilian deaths are tragic, while others are just 'collateral damage'—a necessary byproduct of maintaining certain 'alliances' and 'interests'.
