With Trump cosying up to Putin and Secretary of State Marco Rubio talking to Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, it is no wonder that dangerous humanitarian crises in Sudan and the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) are being neglected, pushed off to the side of national concerns as Trump and Musk eviscerate our foreign assistance efforts and reject helping others who do not or cannot pay.
This commentary highlights the dire humanitarian crises in Sudan and the DRC, exacerbated by a lack of attention and support from U.S. leadership. The author effectively connects the neglect of these crises to broader geopolitical dynamics, emphasizing the consequences of reduced foreign assistance and military support. The statistics on civilian casualties and displacement underscore the urgency of the situation, while the discussion of geopolitical alliances sheds light on the complexities of the conflicts. It's alarming to see how domestic political decisions are impacting lives abroad, and it calls for a reevaluation of priorities in foreign policy to address these pressing humanitarian needs.
