The hypocrisy: Sudan is hardly news worthy. Public protests and campaigns are unheard. Human Rights defenders and activists are missing and there are no Global Sumud humanitarian boats sailing towards Sudan. Worst, the OIC are by-standers. There are hardly any emergency sessions called by the UN or OIC. Just see the number of times the OIC has called for emergency sessions at short notice to discuss the crisis in Gaza.
First here is an article by Norman Fernandez about the situation in Sudan. My comments follow.
DOES A BLACK MUSLIM SUDAN MATTER
-By Norman Fernandez-
(with slight adaptation by me)
After 18 months of intense fighting the Rapid Support Force paramilitary has ousted the Sudan Armed Forced from its last stronghold in western Darfur. The fall of el-Fasher and the unfolding catastrophe is another chapter in one of the most brutal wars in the Horn of Africa.
Muslim Brotherhood supporters deeply alarmed by the unfolding tragedy, a humanitarian catastrophe marked by mass killings, starvation, displacement on a scale that shocked the conscience, and calling for an immediate cessation of violence.
Meanwhile, another Muslim Brotherhood supporter Turkey’s President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has urged Muslims to take responsibility to end the bloodshed.
“No one with a heart… can accept the recent massacres targeting civilians in El-Fasher. We cannot remain silent,” he said.
“The greatest responsibility for swiftly ending the bloodshed in Sudan undoubtedly falls on the Islamic world. As Muslims, we must resolve our own problems rather than seek help from others,”.
Since April 2023, Sudan has been torn apart by fighting between the Sudanese Armed Forces or SAF (supported by Turkey, Qatar, Benua Asia Tenggalam and the Muslim Brotherhood) and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces, or RSF (alleged to be supported by UAE)
The violence unleashed has now been described as the world’s worst humanitarian crisis, with mass killings, rapes, famine, and forcible displacements.
According to the UN, more than 150,000 people have been killed directly since the conflict broke out in April 2023, though aid agencies warn the true death toll is far higher.
The crisis has triggered the largest displacement crisis in the world, with over 11 million people forced from their homes: 8.6 million inside Sudan and more than 3 million across borders into Chad, South Sudan, and Egypt. The International Red Cross has called it “the largest and fastest displacement crisis on record.”
Meanwhile according to the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification, nearly 25 million people — two-thirds of Sudan’s population — face extreme hunger or famine, including 16 million children. Children are already reported to be dying in Zamzam camp in North Darfur and in the Nuba Mountains.
Despite the humanitarian carnage, the international response as compared to Gaza (or Ukraine) has been of nothing but a complete indifference
Sudan is hardly news worthy. Public protests and campaigns are unheard. Human Rights defenders and activists are missing and there are no Global Sumud humanitarian boats sailing towards Sudan. Worst, the OIC are by-standers. The are hardly any emergency sessions called by the UN or OIC. Just see the number of times the OIC has called for emergency sessions at short notice to discuss the crisis in Gaza.
None of the 57 OIC countries has initiated any proceeding at the International Court of Justice. But when South Africa initiated an action against faraway Israel, lining up behind were OIC countries. The hypocrisy is glaring.
What the Sudan tragedy has exposed is that moral outage is selective. Sudan hardly matters since the combatants and the victims are black, Muslims and worst there is no Israel to demonise. The Muslim world’s rage is maximum when Israel is involved.
Erdogan rightly highlighted, the responsibility for ending the bloodshed in Sudan falls on the Islamic world. The question is will Muslims countries stand up to resolve the crisis or be accessories to the crime against humanity which is happening in Sudan.
My Comments: The fighting in Sudan is a proxy war between the Muslim Brotherhood and its agents/supporters like Qatar, Erdogan of Turkey, Benua Asia Tenggalam, the Sudanese Army. This is the main reason why these countries are speaking up for the Sudanese Army now - because they are all Muslim Brotherhood supporters and the Brotherhood is getting its @$$ kicked in Sudan.
On the other side are the Rapid Support Forces or RSF sponsored / supported by the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Egypt maybe Israel and the USA.
The Muslim Brotherhood controlled political power in Sudan for a long time especially between 1989 to 1999. Wherever they go they screw things up - so they screwed up Sudan until Sudan split into two different countries Sudan and South Sudan.
By the way Sudan is the only country in the world named after the skin colour of the people. Sudan refers to the black colour (aswad).
Aswad (أسود) in Arabic means "black" or "dark".Sūdān (سودان) is the plural form of "Aswad"
It means "the land of the black people"
The name was given by the Arabs to describe the black colour of the African people in Sudan. But it is a halal name now.
The Muslim Brotherhood also screwed up in Tunisia, in Egypt and of course in Gaza. Wherever they go the Muslim Brotherhood just screws things up.
Then in October this year there was the Sharm El Sheikh "agreement"
The main target of Donald Trump's Sharm el Sheikh agreement was to curb the Muslim Brotherhood sponsors Erdogan and the Emir of Qatar from supporting the Muslim Brotherhood by way of money and weapons. The agreement was signed on 13th October 2025 and within weeks the Muslim Brotherhood is on the retreat in Sudan (and elsewhere).
Obviously the money and weapons flowing from Turkey and Qatar into Sudan are being choked off. Now the winner in Sudan appears to be the UAE sponsored RSF troops. These are very anti-Muslim Brotherhood people.
- Club of Doom stuff.
- Dont get involved ok.
- Do not be stupid.
- This is a warning.
