Fuck that’s depressing
Reminds of a quote about rape during war time from a writer … I think it was Vonnegut but I forget
“There are two types of women in war … those that were raped … and those that will be raped”
Of all the supposed civilization and modernization that we claim to uphold as a species … the fact that this is still part of our world means that we are no more civilized then we were a thousand years ago, we just have computers, fast cars and nuclear weapons.
Holy fucking shit that’s grim
Take stories like this with a huge grain of salt until they’re verified by credible international organizations. This genre of story specifically is a classic wartime propaganda tale with not much precedent for being true.
Wild headline, I can’t even imagine the horror of living in a country like that.
A couple of years ago, I watched a documentary about the war in Bosnia and how many women conceived as a result of those rapes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xIBf48PP9hI
No comments? lol
Not much to say unless you want to get into who is at fault for the RSF running amok. I certainly have my opinions about it.
I’m interested in hearing more about what’s happening in Sudan and why.
I’ve been to a lot of pro Palestine marches and there is often a lot of Sudanese people there speaking about issues happening there.
Well before that I want to say the world’s ruling class is centered in the imperial core, that is the US, W. Europe, Scandinavia, Japan, South Korea, Australia, especially NYC/Chicago/LA/London/Brussels, and their subimperialist pawns such as Modi’s party in India, Turkey, Israel, Singapore, Dubai, and S. Arabia and when we talk about global starvation there is one major cause, neocolonialism. Food sanctions cause acute death and pain but technological sanctions and hoarding create the conditions for it.
So when Israelis say “why aren’t people talking about Sudan” they are implicitly trying to create a situation that pits Sudanese people again Palestinians. They are trying to sever a conversation about decolonization and antiimperialism.
The USA has entire sections of its high command devoted to Africa and South America. They are instigating conflicts between the AES governments (many which have had a lot of growth from local militias that defended populations the US & French etc would not) & insurgencies which they either actively fomented or did nothing about while safeguarding only international corporations’ natural resource extraction projects and throwing the local population to the wolves. The richest nations in the world allied with UAE, they are doing nothing about the RSF and not pressuring Dubai so we can only speculate if the US is doing even more to assist them such as with intelligence transfers, or other covert actions. First world financial system wants to keep the people, products, and resources of Africa cheap, and if people have to die to clear off some land too, that’s just fine with them. Anyways you may have missed it but US media was reporting postively on child warlords that tried to coup the goverment of Ethiopia https://xcancel.com/AlanRMacLeod/status/1470496021654429697#m (“highly motivated young recruits” 👀) while Blinken mulled a no fly zone https://xcancel.com/AlanRMacLeod/status/1470476960111468552#m, maybe I have missed a smoking gun like that with Sudan:
Sudan Army finds UAE arms supplied to RSF rebels The Sudanese Army found boxes of UAE supplied ammunition and medicines as they cleared an area previously under the control of the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) in southeast Sudan. Evidence of UAE vehicles, weapons and even mercenaries has been surfacing for months in Sudan as the Emirates continues to fund conflicts across the Gulf and Eastern Africa. @MEMO (British-Turkish paper if I recall correctly) https://xcancel.com/MiddleEastMnt/status/1843636882845958589#m
Thank you for providing more information and those articles.
I’ve been reading a little about this this morning and it’s kinda crazy that probably the largest humanitarian crisis on earth right now isn’t getting more mainstream media attention.
They’re dark skinned and African. They might as well be Martians for how much people care about them.
You just absolutely had to shit that thought into the cosmos didn’t you
What’s funny?
