the Sudanese government is as bad as the RSF.

I just find it odd how a nearby conflict can generate so much passion, protests and demands for action by the UN, ICC and individual countries. Yet this, much worse, conflict gets occasional passing mention and shrugs of 'nothing anyone can do about it'.

It seems African lives don't matter as much as other lives.
