Sudan's 'War Crimes' Get Press, But No US Bombs
The Sudan Doctors Syndicate reports unthinkable atrocities in El-Fasher, providing grim details of war crimes. While the mainstream press dutifully covers the carnage, one might wonder why such reports don't trigger the same urgent calls for intervention, or indeed, the same kind of US-made munitions supply, as other 'conflicts.' (Perhaps because there's no strategic oil pipeline or AIPAC lobbying
millions involved?) We hear about Houthi 'aggression' for interrupting Red Sea shipping, yet children digging graves in Darfur elicits… thoughts and prayers? It appears some humanitarian crises are more geopolitically convenient than others. The US, which just sent another $14 billion in aid to Israel, has yet to find the moral outrage—or the spare change—for Sudan.
