As our collective attention pivoted in October 2023 to the violence in Palestine, one sharp-eyed correspondent remarked to me pointedly on our failure to pay attention to the huge violence that had unfolded in Myanmar, violence much of which is also directed at Muslims, notably the Rohingya in Rakhine state, bordering Bangladesh.
You might also wish to comment on the resumption of genocidal violence and ethnic cleansing in southern Sudan perpetrated against the Masalit, Black Africans, by Arab Muslim Sudanese. It doesn't fit the intersectional narrative, but is, in fact, a colonialist outrage against an indigenous people. Except in this case the colonizers are Arab Muslims out to grab oil, gold minerals, and land. Can we expect a 100,000 person turnout in London or outrage on US university campuses? Any X posts from BLM? Not likely.
I don’t remember the last time the US or Europe supported the Arab Muslim Sudanese, so, a 100k turnout in London to protest them would be unlikely or weird or both, in fact, other than people that live in Sudan, you are probably the only person on earth that knows about the “Arab Muslim Sudanese”
Western goverments support Israelis genocide against Palestinians, either the slow killings or the quick ones and this is why we protest and fight that and will continue to do so. Israeli savagery is unmatched, and the Israeli public is far more of a participant in these atrocities than the average chinese is in the uyghur genocide or the average sudanese on either side is a participant in militia atrocities.
Genocide? Unmatched? Yeah. No. You need only look at Bashir Assad or Daesh or Hamas' October 7 'resistance' to understand the true definition of savagery. As for genocide, the population of Gaza has nearly doubled in 10 years. Per Uyghurs, Syria, and Darfur, the only difference is that Jews are not involved. So, muted outrage, if any. No demos, no campus attacks on Chinese students.
I truly appreciate this reporting, thank you, Adam Tooze! I had no idea, and the MSM news outlets here in the US simply keep hammering away at the same tired, beat-a- dead-horse news stories, the very apogee of lazy, pointless, journalism.
It would appear that as we humans have reached the 8 billion global population point, with coinciding behaviors that would indicate that life no longer has any value. We are destroying ourselves and every other living thing on earth. We are the stupidest, most toxic, mendacious, violent species on the planet.
"Henny Penny", more commonly known in the United States as "Chicken Little" and sometimes as "Chicken Licken", is a European folk tale with a moral in the form of a cumulative tale about a chicken who believes that the world is coming to an end. The phrase "The sky is falling!" features prominently in the story, and has passed into the English language as a common idiom indicating a hysterical or mistaken belief that disaster is imminent. Similar stories go back more than 25 centuries and "Henny Penny" continues to be referred to in a variety of media.
thank you for your detailed research..in a world where mostly only the issues concerning dollar rich countries/groupings get biased prominence..your article is like a breath of clean cool fresh air..

In the beginning of Auschwitz there were still a bunch of Jews alive.
Your grasp of history is as faulty as your grasp of reality.
You sound like a fully paid up member to the National Socialist Party.
No I am against those, and there modern, more evil iteration-zionist jews.
Thank you for an excellent review of the area!

Oh, and yet, toxic idiot narcissist Elon Musk thinks we need "a trillion" people on earth.
Stupidest, greediest species on earth, yes.

Mr. Tooze,
What exactly do you think we 🇺🇸 are really doing in Mexico 🇲🇽 along roughly the same lines?
