U.S. Discovers Famine Exists, Still Funds Wars
NPR reports the grim news: famine is spreading in Sudan, driven by the war involving the Rapid Support Forces, creating the world's largest humanitarian disaster. The report correctly flags El-Fasher as particularly hard-hit. Conveniently absent, of course, is any deep dive into the complex history of external interventions, proxy conflicts, and arms dealers that consistently turn regional
disputes into global humanitarian crises. Funding one conflict while decrying another seems to be a D.C. specialty. One might wonder if the U.S. media's sudden interest in a 'humanitarian disaster' springs from a newfound empathy, or perhaps, a calculation of strategic geopolitical interests. After all, if the famine were in Gaza, the White House might just be calling it 'isolated incidents' while
approving another $14 billion in arms to the very forces creating the starvation. How many 'world's largest humanitarian disasters' can one world have before the self-proclaimed leaders of the 'free world' are held accountable for their role in arming all sides?
