Considering Global Conflicts — Sudan

Given the significant amount of attention on the conflict in Gaza, I thought it would be a good idea to highlight some of the other conflicts around the world. In places like Sudan, Myanmar, Ukraine, Armenia, and others, there are conflicts that are just as, or even more, violent, than the one currently occurring in Gaza. Many of the actions in these places could just as easily be described as “genocide”, and yet get a fraction of the coverage.
