American neocons are responsible for the civil war in Sudan: here’s why

The neoconservative faction which directs U.S. foreign policy is directly responsible for the destabilization of Sudan.

As President Joe Biden orders U.S. troops to the region, it is timely to ask precisely what has led to the unfolding civil war in Sudan.

Creating a failed state

Sudan was divided into Sudan – and South Sudan – following a U.S.-backed referendum in 2011, which led to a five year civil war in the region (pictured below). As The New York Times reported in February 2023:

The new country was cheered on in 2011 by the American diplomats who had midwifed its delivery and the Hollywood celebrities who championed its cause.

Sudan is the 3rd most corrupt country in the world. Quite a record for so young a nation.

Ottawa evacuates embassy staff from Sudan, but thousands of Canadians remain stranded

A small handful of Canadian embassy staff have been evacuated from war-ravaged Khartoum as part of a dramatic airlift of international diplomats by helicopter, airplane and ship, but more than 1,590 Canadians remain trapped in the country as the heavy fighting persists.

“Our diplomats are safe – they have been extracted and are working from outside the country – and we are looking at every possible option to support our locally engaged staff,” Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said in a tweet on Sunday.

We’ve seen this before.

Canadians of convenience who acquired passports the last time their beloved “homeland” imploded go right back when things have settled down and now demand rescue from their once again incendiary 3rd world shithole. They took on the risk of their own volition, we should not be held responsible for their decisions.

‘No-one to intervene’ for woman sentenced to stoning in Mohammedan Hell Hole of Sudan

Efforts to prevent a young Sudanese woman being stoned to death, after she was convicted of adultery, are being hindered by the absence of government ministers in the country.

Sudan has been run by a military junta since a coup one year ago.

Campaigners say the 20-year-old didn’t get a fair trial and should be freed.

A government official agreed that the trial was “a joke” but added: “We don’t have a minister who can intervene to demand her release.”

Sudan woman faces death by stoning for adultery in first case for a decade

A woman in Sudan has been sentenced to death by stoning for adultery, the first known case in the country for almost a decade.

Maryam Alsyed Tiyrab, 20, was arrested by police in Sudan’s White Nile state last month.

Tiyrab says she is appealing against the decision. The majority of stoning sentences, which are predominantly against women, are overturned in the high court.
