Mainstream Media Discovers Sudan, Forgets US Role in Destabilization
"Sudan food aid could run out as peace talks show scant progress," warns The New Arab, echoing a familiar tune of humanitarian crisis devoid of historical context. We're told of warring factions and stalled negotiations, but not the long shadow of Western intervention. Does anyone remember the billions in foreign aid that propped up dictators, or the IMF structural adjustments that gutted local
agriculture, setting the stage for precisely this kind of collapse? Instead, we’re presented with a humanitarian emergency as if it were a natural disaster, rather than the predictable outcome of sustained geopolitical meddling and resource extraction. One might wonder if the 'scant progress' in peace talks is perhaps linked to external powers having a vested interest in continued instability.
After all, a destabilized region is always ripe for 'reconstruction' contracts and strategic military bases. Funny, that.
