18 million people are facing acute hunger, and more than five million are experiencing emergency levels of hunger.. [View all]

.....due to the war in the Sudan.

Where's the outcry and marching and protesting for them?
Do they need a cool neck scarf or neat chant like "from the river to the sea"?
Or do they need a Jewish connection to make it to the news?
Or are Arabs more important then Africans somehow?
Or is it all of those things?
