How western countries handle Sudan crisis differently than Ukraine's refugees

Sudanʼs devastating conflict forces millions to leave homes while getting minimal international help. Western nations show different approach to refugee crisis compared to their response for Ukraineʼs people

The Sudan crisis enters its second year with no end in sight: thousands die in Gezira state due to Rapid Support Forces attacks‚ while about 26-million people dont have enough food and 10-million had to leave their homes (making it the biggest refugee movement since Indiaʼs split in 47)

The worlds response shows clear double-standards: while Ukrainian refugees got quick help and legal status in Europe‚ Sudanese people face closed doors and strict rules. The European Union and United States just watch from aside‚ giving much less help than they could

Foreign countries make things worse by talking only to Sudanese Armed Forces and RSF — the main fighting groups — instead of working with local organizations that really speak for people. Last summerʼs peace talks in Geneva failed when both sides didnt even show up

The EU keeps making new rules to stop migrants:

  • Moving male refugees to Albania for checks
  • Making special centers outside EU borders
  • Pushing other countries to take fewer people
  • Using police to stop people at borders

Peter Stano‚ the EU speaker‚ tries to wash his hands of responsibility saying: “Its not our neighborhood; we should let Arab League and African Union handle it“. Meanwhile‚ the EU gives money to groups that make the war last longer

The United States isnt doing much better. While Joe Biden posts nice words about Sudan on social media‚ he meets with leaders who help keep the war going. Only about 1‚200 Sudanese found new homes in America‚ while millions of Ukrainians got help in Europe right away

The numbers tell the story: Germany took in just 472 Sudanese people this year. Meanwhile‚ over 4-million Ukrainians got special protection in Europe thats good until 26. Most of the 10-million displaced Sudanese are stuck in their broken country with nowhere to go
