Pakistan's 'Humanitarian Crisis' Solution: More Jets, More Guns
Al-Monitor, citing Reuters, gleefully reports Pakistan is in the 'final phases' of a $1.5 billion deal to supply weapons and jets to Sudan, specifically to the army battling the Rapid Support Forces. The article notes the conflict has already created the 'world's worst humanitarian crisis' over two and a half years, yet the proposed solution seems to be: add more fuel to the fire. One might wonder
if increased arms sales have ever de-escalated a conflict, or if perhaps, they're just good for business. This isn't just about Sudan; it’s a symptom of a global arms industry that profits from chaos. While mainstream media focuses on the deal's size, it conveniently sidesteps the consistent pattern: more weapons typically mean more bloodshed, not peace. It’s almost as if the 'humanitarian crisis'
is a feature, not a bug, in this lucrative system where the cure is more of the disease.
