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

Gerrit Kurtz writes that the complexities of the war in Sudan require a more nuanced understanding. The notion of a "forgotten conflict" oversimplifies the lack of international attention, which is often a result of deliberate actions by various actors. The "war of two generals" label reduces the conflict to a personal rivalry, ignoring the struggle for control over Sudan's security sector and the state itself. Finally, the "proxy war" label diminishes the primary role of domestic actors and the reasons why they seek international support. Adopting a more informed and balanced approach to reporting is essential. #Sudan #Journalism #ConflictResolution #InternationalRelations #GlobalPolitics #HumanitarianCrisis #HumanRights #PeaceAndSecurity https://lnkd.in/eusZBAmc

https://lnkd.in/gXjAutwR EU and other Western Countries should stop supporting Israel's behaviour on Palestinian people. I guess that the new plan is to move all Palestinian people to Egypt. EU is cooking this option as far as I can see. Please note that this will not end the war, and make everything worse in terms of peace in the Middle East, additionally the future of Palestinian people will become unclear. This war must stop immediately, and two state solution of UN must be implemented ASAP. Palestinian people should decide and manage their own future. Peace in the World. We need it now!
