Sudan: Tausende greifen auf das Essen von Tierfutter zurück, um in belagerter Al Fashir zu überleben

*crickets*

Over 150,000 dead. 3 times as many as in Gaza.

The silence of the world is deafening.

Imagine the massive shift of global consciousness if only 10% of those who speak about Gaza instead spoke to these tragedies. Tens and hundreds of thousands of people could be saved.

I mentioned this genocide in an open pro-Palestinian post and they filled me with dislike xd

Dammit, I wish one commenter here cared about Sudan, instead of using this to score points on Israel-Palestine. 

Even if there’s no way to directly help the besieged in Al Fasher, what is happening there is evil. I wish people showed some empathy and direct concern. 

Here are some stories from sudanese friends that fled the RSF brutality at the start of the civil war

– my best friend is 23 and he was fleeing khartoum with his family before it got taken over by the RSF, he got stopped at a RSF checkpoint. Got dragged out of the car with his brother by 2 people, they made them get on their knees and pointed rifles at the back of their head and were ready to execute them because they had fades and were in good shape (apparently having fades = you’re in the military), dudes doing that shit weren’t sudani and one of them was like a 15 year old kid. His mom got out of the car and pleaded that they werent in the army. Older sudani commander came around and checked their IDs and found out that my friend was in medical school and the other was a doctor and let them go after taking their money.

– coworker i knew in one week had both her uncle murdered, her cousin’s house got blown up and him dying and her elderly mom taken and raped by a bunch of RSF thugs. My friend had kids in the same village that barely made it out before this happened. This friend was working abroad to support her family. When that happened the poor woman had a psychotic breakdown at work cause she thought her kids got raped or killed too (telecom lines were cut at that time in most of sudan so you could barely contact anyone there)

– another girl i knew was in a besieged city in sudan after fleeing khartoum, i remember when i could reach her at the time she used to tell me she was always carrying a knife around, if the RSF broke through she was ready to cut her own neck rather be gangraped by a bunch of militia men

– another girl who had made it out, never really spoke about her journey getting out. But this girl ever since getting out has gotten into taking multiple drugs and alcohol and very very bad depressive episodes. What happened to her i have no clue, but knowing her before the war. Something big happened to her cause this is a completely different person than the one i knew (hopefully she finds peace soon)
