Sudan Massacre

[TSwizzle]

The wanton slaughter in Sudan seems to have reached new heights, blood shed that is visible from space apparently.

The leader of Sudan's paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) has declared an investigation into what he called violations committed by his soldiers during the capture of el-Fasher. The announcement by Gen Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, known as Hemedti, came after escalating reports of civilian killings following the RSF takeover of the city in the Darfur region on Sunday. The RSF leader spoke after international outrage about reports of mass killings in el-Fasher, apparently documented by his paramilitary fighters in social media videos. BBC Verify has analysed the footage confirming that they show the RSF soldiers executing a number of unarmed people in the city. The UN Security Council is holding an emergency session on Sudan, which is in its third year of civil war between the army and the paramilitary fighters. British Foreign Office Minister Stephen Doughty said the UK had called the meeting as the "scale of suffering is unconscionable, often based on ethnicity, women and girls facing sexual and gender-based violence, and there is evidence mounting of defenceless civilians being executed and tortured".

Just a bunch of Arabs doing what they learned from the “civilized world.” And don’t come at me with “violence is just part of human history”, this isn’t simply that. What’s happening here is the same colonial logic, in Arab uniforms.

Eh?

I listened to a BBC report with interviews lasr night.

Someone who was part of the South Sudan independence fight and who served as a foreign minister in the first first government was interviewer.

He is is not happy with the government he helped create. Now he is forming another militant group to overthrow the current government and he says if it comes to violence so be it.

It never ends. I am tired of hearing it all due to 'the west'. Islam startedwith violence, forced conversion and conquests.

Shaka Zulu conquered tribes having nothing to with the west.

Africa to a large degree is tribal. It plays out in Nigeria. Rwanda.

After the Brits left India eventually India built on the infrastructure the Brits left behind and developed a democracy and economy.

Yemen is a proxy war between Iran and Saudi Arabia, Persian verses Arab,.

I am glad that perhaps we can drag our attention from Gaza for a second to see just waht else is happening around us.

Sudan
Cameroons
Congo
Mymanmar
Horn of Africa
Nigeria
The list goes on.

Trouble is when it is non-whites killing non-whites so many do not seem to care.

I’m afraid not Tigers! You see, unless it is the joooos that are the perceived villains then the nose piercing student types don’t give a shit about what is going on elsewhere.

Indeed, they don’t give a shit about darkies killing each other, particularly when those darkies are Christian darkies.

Is the US supplying the weapons being used the way they are in Israel?

 

[Tigers!]

The UAE has been supplying the RSF in Sudan with many weapons.
Granted not aerial 500kg bombs, but weapons enough to cause so many causalties.

You weren’t even alive back then, so I really don’t get why you’re rushing to defend people who aren’t you.

He thinks they looked like him?
Just a guess.

 

[Derec]

Does that make the killings better to you? I don't get why you're saying this.

TSwizzle is clearly parodying the western fauxgressives who protest against Israel (even going as far as praising Hamas and 10/7) but ignore much worse things happening elsewhere. Despite UAE's involvement in Sudan Civil War, BDS is not calling to boycott, divest from and sanction the Emirates for example. There are no Sudan-related campus occupations either.

Muslim darkies are being killed too.

They aren't being killed by jooooos though.

I think he is trying to point out perceived double standards/ antisemitism because of all the coverage in Gaza.

It’s the kneejerk response of Israeli apologists to fling accusations of antisemitism either aggressively or passive aggressively.

Prokaryotes probably fought like hell (and mostly lost) trying to keep eukaryotes and that hellish oxygen stuff out of their territory.
Not much has changed since.

Eukaryotes did not invent molecular oxygen. That would be cyanobacteria. And the only reason some eukaryotes can photosynthesize is that they "enslaved" those bacteria as endosymbionts. Just like all eukaryotes can use O₂ as the terminal electron acceptor because we "enslaved" another bacterium a long time ago to become mitochondria.

Author intent tells you what was in their head; it doesn’t overwrite what their words actually support on the page. If a reading is clearly compatible with the text in context, calling it “a misinterpretation” isn’t a fact, it’s just you choosing to side with the author against other reasonable readers.

By your own logic, your emotional meltdown is just a perfectly valid “reader interpretation.” Author intent can’t overwrite what your words support, right? So if your posts read like someone spiraling, that’s not a “misinterpretation”, that’s simply what the text supports.

MAIDUGURI, Nigeria, Nov 22 (Reuters) - More than 300 children and staff are thought to have been abducted from a Catholic school in Nigeria this week, one of the worst mass kidnappings ever recorded there. The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) said on Saturday it had raised its estimate of those taken from St Mary's School in Niger state on Friday to 315 from an earlier estimate of 227 following a "verification exercise". The kidnapping comes amid a surge of attacks by armed groups and Islamist insurgents in Nigeria, which has been under heightened scrutiny since U.S. President Donald Trump threatened military action this month over the treatment of Christians. If confirmed, the revised number of people taken at the school would exceed the 276 schoolgirls abducted by Boko Haram militants in Chibok in 2014.
