US Silence on Sudan: Some Civilian Deaths Are Just More Equal
The New Arab confirms 40 killed by an RSF drone at a funeral in Sudan’s Kordofan region, a clear example of what happens when armed factions employ advanced weaponry against civilians. This tragic event barely registers a blip in the 24/7 news cycle that meticulously documents similar atrocities—when committed by designated adversaries. The double standard is deafening. We saw this same selective
outrage during the Saudi-led bombardment of Yemen, where civilian gatherings faced similar fates, largely ignored by US media and politicians. The silence on Sudan isn't an oversight; it's a feature. When the perpetrators—like the UAE, known for supporting the RSF with arms and drones—are strategic US partners, the narrative shifts from 'war crime' to 'unfortunate incident.' Suddenly, the demand
for accountability vanishes faster than journalistic integrity when AIPAC calls.
