Western Media Discovers 'Bloodbath' in Sudan, Ignores US Complicity
The Financial Times reports on the tragic conclusion of the Sudan siege, detailing atrocities by the paramilitary RSF. What the FT won't foreground is the long, sordid history of external powers meddling in Sudan, often through arms sales and political leverage. The alleged 'pleas for mercy' in the headline often fall on deaf ears in Washington and London, where the arms industry thrives on
instability. While the FT meticulously documents the Sudanese horror, it sidesteps the uncomfortable fact that the very nations expressing concern are often implicated in the arms trade that equips these factions. One might wonder: how many of those 'pleas for mercy' were made to the defense contractors profiting from the ongoing 'bloodbath' that fills headlines?
