Sudan Massacre: Where's the 'Deep Concern,' Washington?
The Rapid Support Forces (RSF), with a history rooted in the Janjaweed militias responsible for the Darfur genocide, continue their brutal campaign. This isn't a new development, despite the mainstream media's selective amnesia regarding African conflicts. While US officials are quick to condemn alleged war crimes in certain regions, often those with strategic geopolitical value or specific
lobbying interests, the slaughter of 43 children in Sudan seems to warrant little more than a collective shrug in Congress. One might wonder if the children didn't die 'tragically enough' for a Biden administration statement. This massacre is attributed to the RSF, a group that has previously received support from nations allied with the U.S., a fact often buried or ignored. The 'global community'
scrambles to sanction certain players while conveniently overlooking the active role of others. How many more kindergartens need to be flattened before the outrage machine sputters to life for Sudan? Or does genuine concern depend on who's doing the bombing, and more importantly, who's not paying lobbyists?
