UN Discovers 'Unsafe Conditions' Where War Continues Unabated
The UN's recent visit to Sudan's El-Fasher, as reported by The New Arab, confirmed civilians exist in 'unsafe conditions' and called it a 'crime scene' after the RSF takeover. It’s almost as if active sieges and warfare are detrimental to public safety. One might wonder if similar UN findings could be applied to, say, Gaza, where over 37,000 Palestinians have been killed since October 7, 2023 ,
many in what the UN Secretary-General himself called a 'grinding, five-month onslaught'. This pattern of belated, carefully worded concern for civilian lives in Sudan — a nation not known for its robust lobbying presence in Washington — starkly contrasts with the silence, or outright dismissal, when similar (or worse) conditions arise in places deemed 'strategic allies'. How many 'grim
assessments' does it take for the international community to decide certain civilians are universally worth protecting, not just acknowledging?
