🇸🇩 A UN panel has called for an international peacekeeping force in Sudan, where a 17-month civil war has led to widespread atrocities, including the killing, rape, and torture of civilians and children. The conflict has caused the world's largest displacement crisis, with 10 million displaced and millions facing starvation. The panel accuses both the Sudanese army and the Rapid Support Forces of war crimes, urging an arms embargo and international intervention to protect civilians. The report highlights the urgent need for humanitarian aid and justice for victims in this devastating conflict.

Honestly a lot of Palestinian supporters and Palestinian-Americans, Palestinian-Canadians rub me the wrong way lately. The anti-Blackness and prioritizing of Palestinian issues over The Congo and Sudan is crazy not to mention the evoking of X and Angela but i don't have to like you to fight for you.
