ChatGPT TLDR: What’s Happening in Sudan? Sudan is in a brutal civil war between two groups: SAF (Sudanese Army) RSF (Rapid Support Forces, a paramilitary group) Who’s Involved Behind the Scenes? Turkey backs the Sudanese Army (SAF) Sending drones and weapons. Has business and political interests in Sudan. Wants access to Red Sea ports and gold. UAE backs the RSF Secretly sends weapons disguised as aid. Accused of supporting war crimes. Also wants influence over Sudan's resources and ports. Why Are They Fighting? Turkey and the UAE are using Sudan to compete for power and resources in Africa and the Red Sea region. What’s the Result? Over 150,000 people killed. 12 million displaced. Widespread famine and war crimes. The war keeps going because of foreign support on both sides. In short: Turkey and the UAE turned Sudan’s war into a secret proxy battle for influence, money, and land — with devastating human consequences.
https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/clyld9w0283o Fear of mass killings as thousands trapped in besieged Sudan city taken by militia group Yale University's Humanitarian Research Lab told the BBC that since the city was captured, satellite images have shown "piles of bodies executed en masse, or shot by snipers attempting to breach" the city's perimeter wall. And in a post on X, the research group's executive director described his shock at being able to see "apparent pools of blood" via satellite imagery. "The horror, scale, and velocity of killing happening now [is] unlike anything I've ever seen in a quarter century of doing this work," Nathaniel Raymond said. Similarly, a UN humanitarian team in Sudan said it was "horrified" by reports of atrocities like "summary executions", attacks on civilians along escape routes, sexual violence and house-to-house raids. The Joint Force, an alliance of Darfuri armed groups supporting the military, said 2,000 civilians had been killed since the city fell. There is no independent confirmation of this. Pretty empty thread. 2,000 murdered by Islamists since the city fell 48 hours ago. No Jews, no news I guess. Why aren't college campuses full of activists/students/young leftists protesting this?
