The genocide in Sudan is appalling [View all]

Since April of 2023, over 61000 Sudanese have died and millions are currently facing starvation. There is a lot of horror in the world.

Also, it is disheartening to see very little mention of what's happening to the Druze, Kurds, and Christians in Syria. I saw a video this morning of two women and a baby being abducted. The Syrian militants made the woman show her hands, which were bloody. The slaughtered the men in her family.

This has been going on for over nearly two years: the slaughter of the Druze, Kurds, Christians, and Sudanese. There is way too much evil in the world.

Besieged Sudan city residents face starvation, UN warns

The UN's food agency has warned that families trapped within the besieged Sudanese city of el-Fasher face starvation.

The World Food Programme (WFP) said it had not been able to deliver food to the city in the western Darfur region by road for more than a year.

El-Fasher has been surrounded by paramilitary fighters from the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) for nearly 16 months - determined to seize it from Sudan's army.

The WFP warning comes as local activists have already begun reporting deaths by starvation in the city, which is still home to about 300,000 people.
