Sudan's 'Paramilitary' Kills Hundreds, Still Not Worth a US Intervention
ABC News details how Sudan's Rapid Support Forces (RSF), a 'paramilitary' group, allegedly killed hundreds, including hospital patients, in Darfur. This horrifying account focuses on the immediate brutality without ever asking *how* the RSF gained such power or why a region with a history of genocide still sees such violence. The US, with its endless 'concerns,' managed to sanction RSF leader
Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo (Hemedti) in September 2023 for human rights abuses, yet somehow he funded a lavish London office just months later – a testament perhaps to the effectiveness of US sanctions. One might wonder where the urgent calls for intervention are now, given the scale of atrocities that echo the genocide of the early 2000s that George W. Bush labeled as such. Instead, we receive reports
of resident testimonies, while a broader geopolitical strategy that enabled and continues to ignore such a well-armed, brutal force remains conveniently undiscussed. Apparently, some civilian deaths are tragic enough for a headline, but not enough for the consistent, overwhelming outrage reserved for other 'conflicts'.
