9. I refer to this most recent incident. Of course I am aware of the Sudanese Civil War (both of them)

and the long starvation which got some attention from PBS and others due to the intervention and attention brought by George Clooney. While I direct incredible ire at the loss of USAID and other NGO interventions--the former due to Musk/Trump's evil- but both due to the civil war.

I had not heard about this incident in Oct and early November, but I was doing ER shifts back to back to back. I can't speak for others. Had it been widely reported by MSM, though, I feel like it would have gotten through to me even so.

I have worked much of my life in the Middle East and other so-called third world settings. Sudan, like much of Africa has had little attention since Bob Geldorf/Baby Boomer crowd took notice in Live Aid. With the morally depraved in the WH, I'd guess it will be a long time before it does again--in the meantime civil war and abject cruelty will prevail against the innocents.
