People in Sudan are still starving
Thanks to capitalist greed
Hi, how is everyone doing Excel worksheets in the midst of multiple genocides and not crying during Zoom meetings? Today I’m sharing my feelings about the ongoing starvation in Sudan. Onto the news…
News that made me say stop going to nightclubs and start doing mutual aid
More than half of Sudan’s population is food insecure because of the ongoing war against the people of Sudan. I wrote about the starvation in Sudan in February and I’m writing about it again because it’s still happening. I feel like that’s a lot of my writing. Talking about the same thing over and over again. It does feel like a dystopian merry-go-round where you are going around a circle of hell and everything stays the same.
I really want to get off this merry-go-round because I don’t like being suspended in the air while Satan and his demons determine my and the rest of humanity’s fate. Satan obviously being the capitalists and the demons are the world leaders who are doing the work of the capitalists by torturing us, the inhabitants of hell. I so deeply believe we live in hell that one day a woman walked in the train and yelled out, Repent or go to hell! and I almost yelled back, Too late, we are already there!
Living in this dystopian nightmare means that while the people who live in Sudan are starving, the natural resources of their country are being exported. Sudanese gold exports “exceeded $428 million dollars in the first quarter of 2024”. How is gold making it out of the country when food cannot make it to the people? If there needs to be an international discussion about how food is going to make it to the displaced civilians, why isn’t there an international discussion about how Sudanese gold will make it to the United Arab Emirates? Are there different roads for gold and different roads for food?
It doesn’t make sense unless you understand the rules of hell are the same as the rules of a nightclub. Everyone suffers so a few people can make money. Sorry if I’m the first person to tell you this, yelling over music while trying not to slip on some unknown substance while wearing heels is not fun, it’s suffering. That’s why you were crying in the bathroom. It’s suffering so someone can buy bloody gold from Sudan. So next time, skip the nightclub and do mutual aid. You’ll have more fun and your money won’t go towards supporting capitalists that want a glitzy lifestyle fueled by slave labor and starvation.
What’s additionally upsetting about the starvation in Sudan is that the people talking about ending the problem are the people causing the problem. The United Arab Emirates is involved in peace talks to end the fighting between the RSF (Rapid Support Forces) and the Sudanese Army. Meanwhile the Sudanese gold is exported to the United Arab Emirates which is funding the RSF.
It angers me so deeply that these scammers who call themselves world leaders don’t even try to do a better job to fool us that they care. Probably because those of us who are suffering the least from the imperialist dystopian nightmare have been convinced that we live in a utopia. Why would you try to do a good job of tricking people if the people being tricked will wait in line to be tortured? Yes, I’m still talking about nightclubs.
The people of Sudan need global solidarity. We at the center of the core need to understand that kissing up to your boss so you can get a raise so you can buy items from an “artisanal mine” is not freedom. Everything that you’ve been tricked into thinking is fun is actually deeply exploitative. Yes, that includes Dave & Busters. So stop shopping and start rebelling.
That’s it for the news but don’t go yet
Last week on TikTok I shared my thoughts on what Barack Obama and Kamala Harris have taught us.
We have everything we need to free each other. Keep fighting for a better world. We can do it.
