The Spin

Narrative A

As Sudan burns, a cynical game of geopolitical chess unfolds. The UAE funnels weapons to the RSF while Egypt and Saudi Arabia back the opposing SAF. Russia plays both sides opportunistically, even as arms from China, Turkey, Iran, and Serbia flood the battlefield. Meanwhile, the same neighboring countries arming the conflict turn away desperate refugees. The UN's humanitarian efforts remain critically underfunded despite the international community's indifference.

Narrative B

The unspeakable and underreported tragedy of Sudan is the suffering of its children. Nearly 5M are suffering from hunger — many in crowded refugee camps. Once-ambitious students who nurtured dreams now sit idle, their education stolen. Each day brings new horrors — child soldiers, sexual violence, and the crushing weight of trauma. A generation stands at the precipice with all stakeholders in the conflict bearing responsibility for their future.
