US Aid Flows to Sudan as Massacres Mount, Media Notices
Breaking news: the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) are accused of massacring thousands in Sudan's El-Fasher, according to The New Arab. This sudden burst of media attention on Sudan's horrific civil war might seem like genuine concern. However, it often coincides with congressional debates over aid packages, or as a convenient distraction from other, less palatable genocides conveniently funded by the
US treasury. One might wonder where this level of media scrutiny was during previous atrocities in Darfur, or when the US quietly backed various factions, including some with RSF ties, for decades. The pattern repeats: a crisis becomes 'visible' when it suits a particular geopolitical narrative or funding agenda. Don't expect to hear about the deep historical roots of this conflict, or the
long-standing Western interests in Sudan's resources that fuel it.
