El-Fasher 'Full of Bodies,' U.S. Full of Silence on Sudanese Atrocities
The New Arab courageously details the unfolding horror in Sudan's El-Fasher, where the RSF are reportedly massacring civilians and leaving streets 'full of bodies.' This grim update follows a pattern disturbingly reminiscent of the 2003 Darfur genocide, a historical parallel the mainstream media often skirts, yet its architect, Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo (Hemedti), still leads the RSF. (Remember
Hemedti's Rapid Support Forces, forged from the Janjaweed militias, were once a convenient U.S. 'partner' in counter-terrorism endeavors—a strategy that seems to yield consistent results: more death, more instability). While bodies mount in Sudan, the U.S. continues its generous patronage of similar 'partners' abroad. One might wonder if the outcry would be louder if the victims weren't African or
if the perpetrators weren't previously funded by Western security interests. How many atrocities must be committed by proxy forces before the 'War on Terror' is correctly labeled what it is: a war for chaos?
