WFP Expulsions: Sudan Conflict or Manufactured Famine?
Sudan's military junta, the SAF, just kicked out two senior World Food Programme officials. The BBC presents this as an opaque decision amidst escalating fighting, mere days after the RSF took El Fasher. Convenient timing, perhaps, for a regime that has a documented history of weaponizing aid and ignoring its own civilian population, especially those perceived as disloyal. Critics would point out
that humanitarian access often becomes the first casualty when a narrative twist is needed. This isn't just 'conflict escalating.' This is a classic move to control information, limit oversight, and potentially intensify starvation tactics, a recurring theme in regions where the global powers prefer specific outcomes. How many times have we seen the 'humanitarian crisis' deployed as a
justification for intervention, while the architects of that crisis face no real accountability? One has to wonder: how many hungry mouths does it take to shift the global spotlight, and who benefits from the shadows?
