Keep Talking About Sudan - Tumblr Posts
i saw a video the other day detailing why we see so much about gaza🇵🇸 but not sudan🇸🇩
it comes down to these 3 key differences
while gaza is much bloodier, gaza has journalists reporting daily. as a journalist you will be targeted viciously but it's a delayed risk because the enemy isn't on ground. your enemies are cowards who plot and kill you from afar.
in sudan it's impossible to report anything because the enemy is walking down your street (if not in your house) like rabid dogs. you will be shot on sight. it's an immediate risk. there is no time to capture or comment on anything. whatever information you put out will be your first and last.
in sudan, the updates come from the warring factions filming themselves, not from civilians. and you can imagine the bias and inaccuracy of their egotistical daily vlogs and official statements.
which is why it's more imperative than ever to follow Sudanese creators and journalists who do report on the little information that does come out.
here's a post on where to get daily updates about Sudan
disclaimer: palestinian press also deal with immediate risks when confronted with IDF on-ground.
Today in class we learned about famines like the famine in South Sudan as well as Yemen, and my teacher told me that Palestine was also close to being in a state of famine.
Are you freaking kidding me?
I had no idea how fucking privileged I really am like I live in the US in a not rich family, but that is luxury compared to the absolute horror these people are forced to go through. And no, I'm not just freaking out over Palestine, any and all of the countries like Palestine and Sudan need help, as well as Ukraine from my knowledge.
Unfortunately, I can't do much as a minor, but doing all you can do sometimes is enough on your end. I understand that some people also are physically unable to donate or pay for things to give to Palestine and Sudan, and I'm in that same boat. So give what you can, but if you can't pay with money, try other ways, like going to other stores that are against Israel or making artwork that is dedicated to this.
Currently, I'm working on a digital art piece to enter into my school's national art competition that should give awareness about these countries. I only found out about this online, since I don't watch the news. So I'm hoping this will help.
48 million people in Sudan still can not contact their families across the diaspora. They're cut off from the internet, which includes their online banking services as well. Thousands of displaced Sudanese people were also recently turned away as asylum seekers:
This continues to be horrifying. Please keep talking about Sudan.
