    I mostly agree. I think people got put off when it turns out most donations to African countries in turmoil are embezzled.

    However, there is a selective activism and double standard when Palestine gets more attention than Sudan, and the Israel-Palestinian conflict had been going on for as long as the conflict in Sudan and its neighbouring countries.

      TBF, seeing as Israel is basically an appendix of the US, it could in theory be controlled via the US. As others here pointed out, no such mechanism in Sudan.

          Well, you see, you can’t talk to Israel. But you can talk to the US, who could stop funding Israel at any time.

            And even then, you can’t talk to half the US.
