United Nations Terminating a Mission in Sudan
because the Sudanese government asked
Hii, I’m recovering from COVID, which is why I haven’t been as active. I’m well enough today to share my feelings about the UN terminating the United Nations Integrated Transition Assistance Mission in Sudan. Onto the news…
News that made me tell you I hate burpees
The United Nations is terminating the United Nations Integrated Transition Assistance Mission in Sudan (UNITAMS) because the Sudanese government asked for their departure. The purpose of the UNITAMS was to help transition Sudan into a democracy after “the fall of President Omar al-Bashir”. It is very ironic that an organization run by autocratic colonizers is supposed to help bring about democracy in any country. I’m talking about the United Nations and my gym. Only someone who doesn’t believe in democracy would make people do twenty-five burpees.
Also, I didn’t know you could ask colonizers to just terminate a mission and they’d oblige. Maybe it has everything to do with the fact that the Sudanese government doesn’t threaten the colonizers’ interests at all? We all know western governments don’t leave somewhere if they don’t want to leave. Just like a college student doesn’t leave a party with free booze unless the booze is finished or their ex-best friend who they are currently arguing with shows up. This is absolutely not an autobiography of my life, I’m just trying to draw an analogy here about how colonizers don’t just leave parties.
Colonizers don’t care about human rights or democracy unless you refuse to share your natural resources with them. By share I mean give it to them for free and thank them for taking your land. Colonizers treat people’s lands like shoplifters treat Target, a place where everything is free. I agree with one of these groups of people and you know which one.
Of course, the United States tried to make it sound like they care about the human rights in Sudan. Robert Wood, a US envoy, said, “we are gravely concerned that a reduced international presence in Sudan will only serve to embolden the perpetrators of atrocities with dire consequences for civilians.” No, Robert Wood is not a comedian pretending to work for the United States government. He did not make this statement as part of a bit of his stand up set in a basement in Brooklyn. This is a real government official of the United States of America showing concern for perpetrators being emboldened to commit atrocities while the United States of America is literally paying for a genocide in Gaza.
Another thing that the termination of this mission highlights is one we should all already know by now. The United Nations tries to pretend like it’s a group of united nations to help everybody when it’s just a tool of the colonizers to make the colonized feel like someone is going to save them. No one is going to save us and nations are the problem. As long as nations, borders, and governments exist, there will always be genocide. Just as long as PG-13 movies exist, ten year olds will be sneaking in to watch them and having nightmares about them.
Nation states are not here to help us, they are here to serve the interests of corporations and the ruling class. Whether it’s the occupying zionist state of Israel, the United States of America, or the government of Sudan. If we want to be free, we have to rid ourselves of these oppressors who use violence to prevent us from growing food and getting high with our friends whenever we want to.
That’s it for the news, but don’t go yet
Last week on TikTok I share some of my favorite headlines about Kissinger’s death.
Don’t stop talking about Palestine, Congo, Sudan, and colonialism.
Keep fighting for a better world. We can do it.
