Comment on The global outrage machine skips the Uyghurs: China grandstands about Gaza while repressing a Muslim community within its own borders, but hardly anyone seems to notice

Yeah and except on lemmygrad etc. we all agree that a genocide against Uyghurs is happening and it’s horrible. And from the indigenous communities globally, to Ukraine, Congo, Sudan, the Middle East, Xingjiang and Myanmar I wish freedom to all.

IMO they usually bring this up to deflect from their own genocides like in Gaza or in the Americas & the commonwealth.

Yes, that’s more or less my understanding as well.

Also, I’d like to add a part of a transcript of a podcast that talks both about Gaza and Sudan in an honest way, to contrast to the take of the posted article.

Breaking Down Sudan’s Struggle: What the World Is Missing

I mean, the war in Sudan precedes the genocide in Gaza by six months, and we didn’t get much coverage then. I think in fact, the movement in solidarity with Palestinians has opened up the space for people to want to know more about Sudan.
