No Jews are involved, and this is a byproduct of Islamic jihad activity that can’t be blamed on Israel, so no one cares.
“Forgotten War: Sudan’s Displaced Christians Brace for ‘World’s Worst’ Hunger Crisis,” by Jayson Casper, Christianity Today, April 16, 2024:
The United Nations stated that the “world’s worst hunger crisis” is looming, warning that one-third of Sudan’s 49 million people suffer acute food insecurity and 222,000 children could die of starvation within weeks. Yet an international emergency response plan, endorsed by UN agencies including the Cindy McCain-led World Food Program, is only six percent funded.
Sudanese Christians feel like “no one cares.”
Five years earlier, they had great hope. In 2019 a popular revolution overthrew longtime dictator Omar al-Bashir, wanted for war crimes against his people. The new civilian government repealed the law of apostasy, removed Islamist elements from the bureaucracy, and implemented other democratic reforms. But in 2021 the general of the army, in cooperation with the leader of the Rapid Support Forces (RSF)—a government-aligned paramilitary group accused of the atrocities in Darfur—deposed the prime minister.
Continuing negotiations with civilian leaders demanded a merger of the two armed forces, but neither general could agree on terms. And while it is not clear who fired the first shot, last year on April 15 the conflict exploded in the capital of Khartoum. Much of the North African nation is now a war zone….
Identity is a big problem in Sudan. Our country is African, but we speak Arabic. This is why we joined both regional alliances. If you say “Arab” to someone from the Nuba Mountains or South Sudan, it means the people who killed their families, raped their daughters, and tried to Islamize them. But in the north of the country, the Arab is his friend, family, and who he wants to bring to Jesus….
Sudan is a crossover country—some have origins from Yemen and East Africa—and most of us are of mixed heritage. Only the Nuba Mountains and a few others are not. We were even a Christian country until the 14th century, and in the 19th century an eschatological Muslim movement killed many Christians and forced others to convert to Islam.
Presbyterian missionaries came in 1899 and started the first schools for girls, agriculture, and vocational training. The Church of Christ was established in 1920 and is the largest evangelical denomination today. But Sudan is neither a Muslim country nor a Christian country, and likewise, neither Arab nor African entirely.
We joined the Middle East and North Africa Evangelical Alliance because we speak Arabic and face similar issues with Islam and government discrimination. We joined the Association of Evangelicals in Africa because we face the same issues with ethnic identity. I checked with WEA regional leadership—it is not a problem to belong to two alliances….
somehistory says
islam is the problem. As islam is the problem in so many, many places across this planet.
And islam will continue to be a problem until satan…the ‘god’ of islam…is thrown into the abyss, chained up so he cannot do any more harm to mankind.
Jesus said that the “world” would have a hatred for Christians because of His “Name.” Because “the world hated” Him first.
That is why the world looks the other way when children are starving, people are being slaughtered, their means of living stolen, their children are kidnapped and raped. If one is identified as Christian, then the “world hates” that one.
But Jesus said not to give up, but to “stand erect and lift up your heads because deliverance is near.”
Jeff Burnham says
These are the migrants that should be coming to Europe not Muslims!
Beto says
Oh really! Blacks???
somehistory says
Being Black is not the problem. And these Christians are like any other.
Reziac says
Being black is not the problem. Having an average IQ around 65 is the problem. The U.S. Army does not allow enlistment of persons below IQ80, because they are incapable of learning more than simple tasks. How many functionally retarded people do we need? Yes there are outliers like the writer above, but they are not the norm.
Lenny Leaps In says
Black women drivers are the worst. Slow.
William Fleming says
Mr. Spencer, would it be possible to publish the names and contacts of organizations who are actually bringing the food to the starving Christians of Sudan? I would like to send what I can send quickly, before more loss of life and suffering. Thank you, Sir!
Beto says
Should U care about them blacks?
Donna says
Beto, there is no room for that kind of remark. We are all the Father’s creation. Why emphasize color? It doesn’t matter.
abu taleb says
I believe, that was sarcasm.
Mick says
Rapid Support Forces (ex Janjaweed). Allies the Wagner group, UAE, Libyan National Army.
The author needs to report on the Russian angle, maybe under a pen name.
One reason for public indifference to slaughter in Africa, is the lack of Frederick Forsyths, (ex BBC, who exposed the Biafra genocide).
All credit to Jayson.
Bobf1958 says
We need to rid Europe and the West from the islamic hourdes that are destroying our countries before we accept anymore migrants, legal or not. These poor people in Sudan have been suffering for decades and the corrupt, pathetic, MSM ignore them and concentrate on the poor, poor followers of islam. Enough is enough. Islam is a cancer that has to be eradicated.
OLD GUY says
And why is this just a Christian problem? Wouldn’t have something todo with muslim/islamic people trying to intentionally starve these people to death. Coming to your country next. Diversity my people will get you killed.
Mike says
It does seem, though, that the Western MSM doesn’t care so much about starving Sudanese or Haitians because those peoples are predominantly Black, plus most of the people who are starving to death are non-Muslims.
