While “activists” stage flotilla theatrics, NGOs obsessively attack Israel, and organizations like Doctors Without Borders use their status as cover to launch political campaigns, the people of Sudan are being slaughtered. Indeed, Islamists there have killed so many people that one report recently suggested “…the pools of blood are so thick, the piles of bodies so exposed, that the ethnic purge…is visible from space.”

Rape has been systematically used as a weapon of war, while tens of thousands of civilians have been killed in direct acts of violence, with tens of thousands more having died from things like starvation, disease, and other indirect causes. Twelve million people within Sudan have been displaced, while another three million have fled the country.

Analysis by the Yale School of Public Health Humanitarian Research Lab has found that “[the Sudanese city of] El Fasher appears to be in a systematic and intentional process of ethnic cleansing of… indigenous non-Arab communities through forced displacement and summary execution.”

Crucially, it’s important to note that the men committing these crimes come primarily from the Janjaweed, an Islamic terrorist organization responsible for the genocide and mass atrocities that took place in Darfur 20 years ago.

Child soldiers have been filmed on camera killing grown women. Footage showing entire families being murdered is widespread. In one photo, a mother hangs from a tree with her two babies – all dead. This is the place where there actually is a genocide, deliberate starvation, and ethnic cleansing. Yet, the silence is deafening. No protests. No boycotts. No pins on red carpets. No ice cream flavours. No campus takeovers. Nothing.

I realize numerous conflicts are unfolding right now – but this is the one. This is the one we should be talking about.

You want “all eyes” on somewhere? Try Sudan.
