150,000 dead, 12 million displaced [View all]

30 milli8on in need of immediate aid.

This is Sudan, not Gaza, but this will be the only post this month about this humanitarian crises that dwarfs Gaza.
There are no protests about it. No one on any college campus is setting up an encampment. No one in this country is being murdered by Sudanese supporters.
