1. UN, hello? World health org, are you there?
   No protests? No global outcry?
   No “all eyes on Sudan” campaign?
   Oh, no Jews no News? Gotcha! /s.

2. Sadly nobody is paying attention and sadly Sudan has collapsed into a failed state just like Haiti.

   Things are sadly going to get even worse.

   Nobody deserves to suffer the way the citizens of Sudan have been suffering.

3. >With much of the world’s attention focused on Gaza, the scene of another human-made famine, Sudan is already the worst humanitarian crisis in the world and is slipping towards a humanitarian disaster of historic proportions, with far less media coverage and global concern.

   >…On Friday, she announced $315m in new US humanitarian assistance for Sudan, but said hardly any aid was reaching isolated populations. Both sides have been accused of using control over food access as a weapon. “The RSF has been systematically looting humanitarian warehouses, stealing food and livestock, destroying grain storage facilities, and wells in the most vulnerable Sudanese communities,” Power said.

   Interesting that in both these cases there is acknowledgement that enough international food aid is entering the region, but it is being seized by Hamas and/or the RSF militia, and so not reaching the starving people.

   Perhaps the calls for vastly-increased funding are to ensure that enough aid arrives so that what the terrorists or militias do steal for themselves won’t prevent some getting through. But wouldn’t it be wiser to have an armed UN military force intervene and control food distribution?

4. If it’s not popular or country in distress and needs urgent assistance on the feed on platforms then why would any care. That’s society across the globe today.

5. It is incredibly sad how horrible humans can be toward other humans

6. Failed state, it is what it is

7. Compassion yes but when a failing state continues with the same actions that got it there , compassion turns into apathy . 

8. The “pro Palestine” movement is so fake

9. If only they had oil.

10. Im in shock the world barely focuses or cares what’s happening in Sudan. I’ve been following the conflict a bit as well as the famine. I really wish our leaders would focus on real human suffering

11. Relying on “the world” for food is a very shitty decision.

12. Does anyone know any good organizations to actually help the people of Sudan while bypassing the RSF? Is the Sudan Relief Fund good? Same question for Gaza and Hamas (I have given to WCK).

13. ‘We need the world to wake up’

    “need” is the most pointless word in geopolitics. It is about self-interests, leverage and power. Most in the global north do not give enough of a sh*t to even know about what is happening in Sudan, and there is nothing you can do about that.

14. Sorry…the world is busy dealing with an ever increasing list of shit.

15. The world isn’t going to wake up because the would impact profit margins. So here’s a cat video, some porn, and the new iPhone. That’ll shut you up. 😛

16. Sudan should announce that they found the largest reserve of rare minerals. Countries will be fighting each other to feed Sudan.

17. What can the rest of the world do exactly?

    We’ve all seen what stepping in to help achieves, besides next to nothing and costing us billions it usually ends up making things worse.

    These countries that are failing are a result of their own makings, and even if we spent millions nothing would change or it would get into the hands of those who would abuse it and hoard it.

    The west can’t save the world.

18. Sudan…

    Wait. Isn’t that a country that has Africa’s 9th largest river by volume flowing through it? It’s called the Nile River. And it also faces the Red Sea, with a major sea port. So it has access to the world’s trading routes. And it sits just off one of earth’s major sea-trading routes.

    And just across the narrow Red Sea is their friend Saudi Arabia, who has heaps of cheap oil. Enough to power desal plants if they want to run them. But they wouldn’t even need to do that. KSA could run generators for them and just ship the electricity over. Or Sudan could install solar panels in the Nubian Desert to power desal plants.

    So they have water. They have access to trade. They have tons of land. Not good land. But land. There is no reason that they can’t build roads for trade. Their southern highlands are good for agriculture and human habitation.

    But nooo.. They would rather kill each other over their interpretation of their all powerful invisible man-in-the-sky.

    I am so over it.

19. They are going to have to fight for their right to exist against the barbarians holding the nation hostage. Yes they will die. But you can die fighting for your country, or starve to death in your bed.

20. Republicans find a way to blame this on us version 18232.

21. No empathy for a failed state. Rebuild and try again

22. Wake up to what? Famine has happened in Africa for as long as I can remember and the world know.

    This isn’t about “waking up”. This is about caring. The rest of the world DOES NOT CARE. The rest of the world will stand around until their own neighborhood is in flames until they try to start to eventually discuss the possibility of doing something.

23. Incredible how the real famine in Sudan is being ignored by the world, while hundreds of millions of dollars are being poured over a fake famine in Gaza with one of the world’s most obese populations.
    The Famine Review Committee (FRC) is now finally acknowledging they can’t endorse the conclusions of famine as plausible.

24. There’s not much the UN can do to a civil war. Both sides are making it as horrible as possible for the civilians. Any food or monetary aid we send will continue to be blocked by one or both sides.

25. Hey how about making more hungry mouths to feed?

26. Where the hell is the Arab League? One of their own countries is falling apart and nobody is doing anything to stop it.

27. More famine = Fewer people.

    Fewer people = Less famine.

    This is how the natural world has always worked.

28. Sorry, we have made up genocides to focus on instead. If some big influencer makes a 12 second tiktok and some AI “eyes on sudan” art maybe we’ll worry about this.

29. Have they tried finding some Jews to blame? 

30. Isn’t that the country where like 90% of citizens support female genital mutilation. I don’t feel much sympathy tbh.

31. surely we can get a few protests going or maybe a trending hashtag #alleyesonsudan.

    Maybe we can even create a US org solely dedicated to sudan relief too.
