The Worst Humanitarian Crisis in the World Is Flying Under the Radar
The American Spectator ^ | August 14, 2025, 10:07 PM | Andrew Gondy

“We have sent hundreds of billions of U.S. taxpayer dollars in foreign assistance into the coffers of criminal regimes responsible for manufacturing the crisis.”

The Sudanese people are currently enduring one of the most horrific catastrophes in the country’s history, following the start of its 2023 civil war. Fighting between the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) has unleashed a hellish vortex of starvation, violence, and disease upon tens of millions in Sudan.

The United Nations recently classified the situation in Sudan as the worst humanitarian crisis in the world, but the international spotlight has rarely been focused on the issue due to the wars in Gaza and Ukraine.

25 million people, half of Sudan’s population, are currently experiencing famine conditions and acute food insecurity. Food conditions for 8.1 million people are classified as Emergency (IPC Phase 4), and almost 700,000 as Catastrophe (IPC Phase 5). Hunger levels for the same 25 million people are also considered at and above “Crisis” classification.

Famine and starvation are also used as military tactics by the SAF and the RSF, as blockades are built and crops are burned. In many areas, particularly Darfur, aid delivery is obstructed, pushing populations into full-scale collapse due to a lack of access to food.

Additionally, 12 million people have been internally displaced in the country, forced out of their homes and into refugee camps. These camps provide no real measure of security, however, as in April, the RSF murdered 300 people in two days at one such camp in Darfur.

For children, the suffering is particularly acute, as more than 15 million now need humanitarian assistance. Additional reports of killings, abductions, and sexual violence have spiked by 1,000 percent in recent months. 

This level of brutality shows that the Sudanese people are not just casualties...

The article seems to skip over the part where the attackers are jihadi murderous muslim arabs killing, raping and starving Black Christians and Animists.

I think there's a media blackout on the plight of the Sudanese because the Deep State controlled media doesn't want funds deflected from the Ukrainian war to support those starving on Africa.

Let's not get all hung up on who's killing whom.

That is why you will one day find yourself in Hell. Indifference to human suffering will be on your ledger.

Just another genocide by muslims against Christians that will never be commented on by the FReeper Anti-Semite Caucus of Nitzy, Liz and Angelino97.

As long as hell isn't filled with Sudanese, I don't give a flying F.

I'm so tired of starving Africans coming for my tax dollars with their hands out. Let them starve or FITFO.

I don’t advocate sending money either, but I draw the line at not caring about innocent human beings caught in the middle of that crap. You seem almost gleeful about their suffering. Money wouldn’t help them anyway, but it wouldn’t hurt to pray for the protection of innocent lives all over the world.

The RSF, a rebranded name for the notorious Janjaweed militia, has committed or been accused of engaging in several crimes in different parts of Sudan such as Darfur, South Kordofan, and Khartoum, these violations include burning villages, ethnic killings, raping women, unlawful detention of activists, and repurposing hospitals and churches as shields.

RSF was estimated by Human Rights Watch as having about 5,000–6,000 soldiers in February 2014 in Darfur. In 2016–2017, RSF had 40,000 members participating in the Yemeni Civil War. In late October 2019, 10,000 had returned to Sudan. In July 2019, about 1,000 RSF soldiers were present in Libya, supporting the Libyan National Army commanded by Khalifa Haftar.

According to Reuters, as of 2023, the force numbers 100,000 people.

You are playing to a deaf crowd... Around here only one race deserves to be considered as Christian. All others are not even considered human let alone Christian.
