It's so frustrating that we are living through an active genocide (again) and doing absolutely nothing (again). In my youth, when there wasn't yet a 24 hour news cycle and I learned about the genocide in Rwanda as a teenager, it was my naive belief at the time that a lack of knowledge was the main reason for the general indifference in "the West". A year later the genocide in Bosnia, especially the massacre at Srebrenica, was headline news in my home country of the Netherlands and yet people seemed to collectively just shrug that off just as quickly as it happened. Now, many years later, I've become much more cynical. If you want people to care about unjustified murder you should either make sure to have your country located really really close to "the West", but even that is just of limited use to Ukraine, or make sure that the killing happens to take place at the hands of mostly Jewish people, although most Palestinians can attest to the fact that while media attention is good, action is still lacking.

I remember people trying to bring awareness about Darfur 20 years ago.
Not much has changed...
What is the world supposed to do? Invade?
There's much less direct military funding and support fueling Sudan so most people have no real outlet or mechanism for addressing it beyond support for humanitarian aid efforts and the UN.
There's not an easily identified or direct policy that can be pointed at, as if an actor were receiving billions direct military aid and support. Like, even Israel is split on which side they're supporting. Ukraine and Russia alike have supported opposition to the RSF.
Fuck the sponsors of this genocide which is the United Arab Emirates (UAE) that support the so called 'Rapid Support Forces', and fuck the supporters of UAE, Germany. UAE is making shitloads of money from this bestiality as they provide the (partly German) weaponry and get paid in Sudanese blood-gold. Germany is supporting UAE for nodding to everything Israel does.
okay so let me get this straight. it's up to me to sort out the fascism in my home country, stop the genocide in sudan, stop the genocide in gaza, stop the genocide in ukraine, stop the genocide in china, would you also like a pony sir? what ever happened to a people's responsibility of self determination that y'all keep throwing in my face whenever i mention that the orange fuckface has become an international problem and it's time to start employing economic sanctions to try reining in the united states? y'all stop your own genocides.
What!? Do you not even care about climate change? Why do you hate nature?
A duck bit me once and now the world must burn
It's up to you to bite the duck
I'm concerned if I bite it back I'll get the runs out something. I hear they have worms
okay so let me get this straight. it’s up to me to sort out the fascism in my home country, stop the genocide in sudan, stop the genocide in gaza, stop the genocide in ukraine, stop the genocide in china,
Not only you but the rest of the population as well. And really, if we all cooperated together on this, these issues could be solved easily in a few years, if not months.

If we really cooperated and agreed on the goals (that's the hard one) we could fucking rebuild our society into a just and benevolent one practically overnight. I don't want to go through eugenics wars to get there or whatever other horror science fiction says we need in order to do what we can intellectually conceptualize. The short version of that is "it works cause everyone who didn't get it is dead!" and that's one hell of a failure
Is there anything the rest of the world can do to help you with your orange fascist problem?
Because it seems to be in the way of solving a lot of the other issues.
What are you doing about the homeless crisis?
A genocide anywhere is a huge problem. The US is playing a major role in the genocide in Palestine, so yes it makes sense that Americans are more concerned about that one than the one in Sudan.
Americans have no power we can’t even get healthcare, family leave, affordable college, food assistance or affordable housing and they’re literally building for profit concentration camps everywhere. Our future is medical bankruptcy, homelessness, mass surveillance, “terrorist watch lists” and a core civic slave labor camps
In a world ravage by climate change no less!
What are other African nations doing about it?
Not sending weapons to the RSF
When has the human race ever cared about a genocide, absent some material reason to do so?
