Genocide warnings ‘flashing red’ after RSF takeover of Sudan’s El-Fasher

1. Fortunately for the people of darfur, the perpetrator is supported by UAE, so the international response will be harsh and swift. Unlike the *other* genocide.

2. U.S. support of UAE is partially to blame, currently as we see things will be matter of ego for leadership to do anything. Any posible action to limit the bloodshed would demand cohesive support and movement. Even then words and pressure helps but slowly, especially sense people don’t support the U.N. as much and the U.N. proven to hamstring their peacekeepers as well as U.N. peacekeeper forces track record is pitiable. Half measures and bad actors (west and east) got us here, no one wants to risk their neck to fix it.

3. If there ever was a clear cut case where a “humanitarian” military compaign by the West would be justified, this was it. This time even the accusation of “regime change” wouldn’t be valid.

4. Wow notice how this genocide gets like 1/4 the attention on reddit of the Palestinian one? Crazy how many less upvotes and comments there are when israel isn’t involved. Almost like reddit doesn’t actually care about genocide 

5. Can anyone give me a breakdown of where the materiel has come from for both sides? UAE involvement is a thing, but they aren’t a weapons manufacturer. How does it work?

   It looks like many of them got some of that “Warsaw Pact surplus” that got pillaged and sold to Africans after Moscow stopped paying the bills. But I wasn’t aware that Sudan was a big market?

   Also, I presume at some point both sides shared the arsenal, and are just fighting with the bits they managed to claim?
