U.N. Calls for Probe into El-Fasher Killings, Ignores Gaza for Months
The UN Human Rights Council now 'denounces' ethnically motivated killings in El-Fasher, Sudan, calling for a probe. ('Perpetrators will be held accountable,' they declare, as if a strongly worded letter magically materializes justice.) This comes after months of documenting atrocities, yet somehow, the same council seems to have misplaced its magnifying glass when similar, equally documented
horrors were unfolding in Gaza—with US-supplied bombs doing the heavy lifting. One might wonder if the 'human rights' alarm bells are programmed to chime louder when US-allied states are not implicated, or when the victims aren't Palestinian. The geopolitical compass of morality appears to point resolutely away from certain zones despite overwhelming evidence, while others finally get the 'probe'
treatment. How many 'urgent calls' does it take for human lives to be equally valued, regardless of geography or which donor state is arming the aggressor?
