Is going on and on ….

Throws the country into chaos
 
In the beginning of the civil war the German Bundeswehr was there to evacuate Europeans.

That is quite a time ago now.
 
I have looked it up now.
The war started on April 15 2023

It really all started with the October coup 2021 when the military seized power and unseated the civilian government. The military acted together with militias such as the Rapid Support Forces, but that created a problem for them. There were now two powers in Sudan; the military and the militias. This could not last, so there was civil war.

What can, or should, the west do? Provide humanitarian aid? Intervene militarily to impose peace, by force?

good question ….

i dont know the answer
 
The situation in Sudan was already very fragile before the war and it has now become catastrophic.

Ozan Agbas -
MSF emergency operations manager for Sudan

More than 8 million people have already been forced to flee their homes, and 25 million half of the country’s population are estimated to be in need of humanitarian assistance, yet the world is looking away as the warring parties intentionally block humanitarian access and the delivery of aid.

You're right. Where are the student protestors and paid activists gathering in front of the Sudanese embassy in D.C.?
Maybe it's because there are simply Muslims trying to destroy other ethnic Muslims in a country no one cares about.
Maybe it's because there are aren't thousands of Sudanese Muslims enrolled in elite universities funded by members of elite oil-rich countries who can pay college tuition without blinking an eye at the cost.
Maybe if the Sudanese soldiers brutalizing fellow Muslims converted to Judaism we would see protests against the Sudanese government engaging in genocide against their own people. Anti-Semitism goes a long way in firing up virtue-signaling protestors looking for ways to hate Jews in this country.
 
there happens a genocide …

And the anti-Semites up in arms over the IDF trying to eliminate Hamas have no interest in a civil war in Sudan where Muslims are killing Muslims and where tens of thousands of innocent Sudanese just happen to be collateral damage.
Muslims killing other Muslims in Sudan are not as interesting as Palestinians dying in the line of fire in Gaza.
 
Thank-you, Britain!

I mean, I'm up in arms over Israel's genocide of the Palestinians and I think I've posted more threads about the Sudan civil war than anyone else on this forum.

It also doesn't help that the people there are so poor and the situation so degraded that we don't get any sensational photos/videos out of the region like we do in Gaza/Israel/West Bank.

You're right about Sudan and the horrible condition of the non-combatants. The news channels know Palestinians carrying bloodied children make better news than starving Sudanese living on the edge of death. That's Muslims killing Muslims. Americans questioning our
support of beleaguered Israel has a lot more public interest than Muslims killing Muslims. Muslims are only important if they are collateral damage in the war in Gaza. There's a lot more hatred (and interest generated) when it is easier to condemn the IDF when Palestinians are collateral damage in the fight for Israel's survival and sovereignty as a nation.
Muslims killing Muslims in Sudan and Syria pales in importance than Muslims counted as collateral damage in Gaza. Pro-Palestians in the U.S. find it easier to hate Israel than trying to figure out what is going on in Sudan. After all, people watching the nightly find it easier to shed crocodile tears over dead Palestinians in the news every night than watching displaced Sudanese starving and dying when no one is able to help them -especially the feckless U.N.
