Genocide in Sudan

 The New York Times published on 30 August 2025 an opinion piece titled "Where There's No Debate About Genocide--And No Response Either" by Nicholas Kristof.

The author argues there is bipartisan agreement in the United States that Sudan is suffering both genocide and famine and a bipartisan consensus to do little about it.  The Biden administration was too passive, and now so too is the Trump administration.  But the failure is global.  Arab and African countries have done more to aggravate the suffering in Sudan than to ease it.
