The New York Times published on 18 March 2024 a commentary titled "The Unforgivable Silence on Sudan" by Linda Thomas-Greenfield, US ambassador to the United Nations.
Thomas-Greenfield said that "civil war has turned Sudan into a living hell" as little help has gone to the Sudanese people. The UN Security Council finally called for a cessation of hostilities, but it does not change the fact that the international community and media have been largely quiet. The world's silence and inaction need to change.
