I think one of the reasons so little attention is being paid to the famine is because of decades and decades of "starving kids in Africa" messaging.

Westerners see the abject suffering the Sudanese are enduring and subconsciously think that this is normal, that this is the logical condition of an African people.

It is not normal. It is a result of colonialist exploitation. I think that collectively we must do better in not only including but centering African struggles in our activism.
