Reporting about the war in Sudan is clouded by three oversimplified narratives – “forgotten conflict”, “war of two generals” and the “proxy war” classification. Gerrit Kurtz (SWP) calls for a more nuanced phrasing by journalists and policymakers. Gerrit writes that "Judging from the number of high-level political statements, the amount of reporting by international outlets and how much of the target funds have been raised by the UN humanitarian appeal, the Sudan war seems marginal compared with today’s two main conflicts: Ukraine and Gaza. Over the past 12 months, for example, the German Chancellery mentioned Ukraine in 190 press releases and Sudan just three times. During the same period, The New York Times has run almost 10 times as many articles mentioning Gaza as those featuring Sudan and more than 13 times as many as articles mentioning Ukraine. And while the UN Flash Appeal for the Occupied Palestinian Territories is funded at 104 per cent, the 2024 appeal for Sudan had been funded at less than 6 per cent, according to the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) (before the Paris conference pledged another US$2 billion on 15 April)." https://lnkd.in/gVUVC7Xe #Sudan #Journalism #ConflictResolution #InternationalRelations #GlobalPolitics #HumanitarianCrisis #HumanRights #PeaceAndSecurity
