Anthony Blinken, the US Secretary of State, sent a message of support to Muslim communities suffering around the globe during Eid al-Fitr - but failed to mention the ongoing war in Sudan. | |
"Our thoughts turn to the plight of Palestinians in Gaza | |
and the West Bank, civilians in Syria, women suffering under the Taliban in | |
Afghanistan, Uyghurs in the People's Republic of China, Rohingya | |
in Burma and Bangladesh, and far too many others," Mr Blinken said | |
in a message to Muslim communities. | |
Although he mentioned countries where Muslims are suffering as a | |
result of the conflicts and wars, Mr Blinken's message fell short of mentioning | |
Sudan, where the majority of the population are Muslims. | |
Does this mean Sudan has been forgotten or the | |
International community is giving up on Sudan? | |
On 15 April last year, war broke out between the Sudanese army, led by Gen Abdel Fattah | |
al-Burhan, and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) of Gen Mohamed | |
Hamdan Dagalo. | |
The war has killed an estimated 14,000 | |
people, displaced millions internally, and forced thousands to flee to the | |
neighbouring countries. | |
The US and Saudi Arabia have been mediating talks | |
in Jeddah to arrange humanitarian aid, establish a ceasefire and other confidence-building measures, aimed at building a permanent | |
cessation of hostilities in Sudan. | |
Previous attempts to broker a lasting ceasefire between the army and the RSF have failed. | |
