Civilian protesters have been attacked by the country's military, with reports of more than 100 killings and 70 r*pes during a single attack in the country's capital, Khartoum, last week, and dozens of "bloated bodies" reportedly being dragged from the river Nile.
Why is no one talking about it?!
Notre Dame burns down and it's all over the news, African people are tortured, r*ped and killed and no one seems to give a shit.
Our world is seriously fucked up!  |

I may be mistaken, but are there still victims of Grenfell living in temporary accommodation? While the world donates hundreds of millions to rebuild an old building in France.
Demonstrates how twisted round folk have stuff. |

I was reading about this this morning. It’s atrocious what is deemed ‘news worthy’ in this country, but if it was broadcasted the government would then have to act which they just aren’t prepared to do for a country with no valuable resources, they’d rather squabble about Brexit. It’s sickening but it’s what they’ve always done. |

Absolutely!
Can't work out why a building is more important to people than human lives!  |

"But considering our use past too much concern can seem like colonial interference."
Humans are being massacred, children tortured and killed. Surely if that's happening anywhere we should ALL make it our business? |

Shame they didn’t exercise that more when it came to Iraq."
Iraq was a disgrace. |

A lot of Africans don't care much for the West. China has more prestige there. Plus it's on the doorstep of the middle East. Politics unfortunately does dictate what we see in the news. |

French national pride for you. An internationally recognised French public building burns down so all of the French with money donate. Where as a tower block which houses immigrants and the poor...ah fuck it! |

Fuck politics! We have freedom of speech and the Internet. Why aren't more people speaking up for them?!

Sudan, Yemen, Syria - take your pic of major humanitarian crises happening right now while we, er, focus yet another Tory leadership cannibal race
It’s shameful, or at least it would be if today’s politicians could recall that they have responsibilities that extend beyond their own vapid ambitions
Anyone voting for, or supporting, the big bloat that is Boris, deserves whatever comes next. Remember Cameron anyone ? He thought he was destined to be PM too.
To the poster who mentioned the Grenfell victims - don’t you realise, when there’s a Tory government in power, poor people don’t count ?
Then again, the ineffectiveness of Corbyn makes me incandescent with rage

I'm doing what I can to make people aware. I'm making things visible on social media, unfortunately I can't do much more than that. If everyone did the same the people in charge around the world would be forced to talk about it and take action to help these people.

But what should we do about it? The only effective way to stop it is military action, but as with our intervention in Syria people demand it and then get very upset about the inevitable collateral damage and streams of refugees that they will quickly blame on our military and government. |

Most people care about themselves first. It's human nature and survival instinct, however ugly and distasteful it appears.
If people in comfortable lives truly cared about the wrongs and injustices of this world, then they would do something about it themselves rather than bleating about why doesn't somebody else do something about it?
Assitance on a national or international scale can only be achieved if there is a will, and the contributing countries are not themselves fucked up, which is sadly not currently the case.
Harking back to colonial days is utterly pointless. Many of of these countries have had their independence for more or less a hundred years, and what have they done with it since?

Talk about it. Make as many people aware as you can about what's happening. If we all put the pressure on, those in charge have to act.
We have a voice, no one seems to use theirs anymore unless it's white people in trouble. |

Yes your right, sad thing is that in the time since these atrocities took place more children have died due to a lack of clean water and preventable diseases..
And will continue to do so.. |

This. The money donated to Notre Dame overnight would have gone a long way to help world poverty. |

The BBC has reported on what is going on in Sudan at the moment and I have read about it in the papers....Sadly nothing will be done to remove this countries dictator who is wanted for crimes against humanity and their is also an international arrest warrant so he wont travel abroad.

That's fine but when you say those in charge have to act, what action do you think they should take? As serving military and at the very sharp end of it as well I wouldn't want to be sent there by a government knee jerk reaction to public outrage only to be lambasted for it by the same public when the shooting started. |

Let’s face it what can be done about it?
Aid? Is it likely to get there? Have a look at where Aid really goes especially in such corrupt regions.
Military intervention? Not likely no oil or abundant resources. Plus it’s now increasingly unpopular to meddle in another Country’s affairs so openly now.

There is always something bad going on in the world...the fact you can't fix everything isn't a reason to fix nothing....
On the other hand....with regards to notre dame, by extension we could always channel money away from arts and culture to something human and immediate....but, there is plenty of evidence to the contribution of the arts to the well being, culture, civilisation that eventually are building blocks for humanity just treating each other better and stopping us doing things like this in the first place.
Urgent symptoms/future cures....it's ever thus |

Yes it is, the developed world doesn’t care about beyond the end of its nose, but at least 5 cities have 5g mobile coverage, to not see what’s going on. |

It's the Middle East it's not for the UK or any other nation to interfere, other than peace talks, which is what has happened.
Life is returning to normal now in Sudan.
Middle Eastern politics is often complex, and the media is unreliable especially the BBC. |

But they do have outside contact were do the pictures and reports come from, most reporters journalists etc use TOR browsers or similar to avoid persecution. That's fact.

Honestly wasnt expecting to see this thread here... Thanks to everyone who spoke up standing for democracy and not taking their freedom of speech for granted.
First of all and just to set the record straight Sudan doesnt need nor has it asked for financial assistance since the start of the protests. In reality it was the opposite, any country that gave direct financial aid to the bloody handed Transitional gov has been labled and alienated.
Sudanese living abroad were covering all expenses and still are from treating the wounded all the way to rentals of loud speakers and bigscreens.
Altough the UK has a special place in most Sudanese hearts which goes quite a while back, we dont expect much from the UK with all the drama going on with Brexit and so on. Just mentioning it and using the the power media and word of mouth is worth much more to those on the ground than any financial aid thats already being taken care of.
Anyways the UAE and Saudi are behind all of this giving orders and bags of cash to the TMC to silence the people worried that if this revolution succeds it will trickle to their back yards and over throw them evwntually hence supporting the TMC/RSF aka Janja in SD and Haftar in Libya and the examples go on.
When all this is over anyone travelling to Sudan visiting the pyramids of the Kingdom of Kush or Khartoum do give me a shout to show you around. 
Power to the People! |
