UK Sanctions Commander, After Years of Western Complicity
Funny how the BBC now 'links' this commander to massacres, almost as if the atrocities in Darfur, ongoing for decades, just started last Tuesday. The UK, like other Western powers, has a long history of turning a blind eye, and sometimes even funneling support, to various Sudanese factions, including those who would later become the RSF. Remember the 'war on terror' cash flowing into the region,
often landing in questionable hands? Or the consistent silence on the rapid degradation of human rights while Sudan was strategically important for controlling migration routes and regional stability? This isn't about precise BBC reporting, it's about selective outrage. Sanctioning one commander now feels less like justice and more like performative damage control when the entire system of Western
engagement with Sudan has been a masterclass in 'friendly fascism' – tolerating human rights abuses for perceived strategic gains. One might wonder if the UK is just trying to look busy after years of enabling the very conditions that allowed 'Abu Lulu' to rise and commit these acts with relative impunity. How many massacres does it take before a 'sanction' isn't just an afterthought?
