Look I’ve got a lot of shit going on, okay? I’m a keystone member of VERY INFLUENTIAL GROUP DMS. I don’t have time for “debunking”, but here we are. I fucked up. I fucked YOU. 🥹 I didn’t read that Sudan infographic I posted the other day, alright?! I read one word.

👁️ BLINKEN my twitter search is not working rn but here’s this

4 days before everything popped off:

2 days after that:

The Deputy Chairman of the Sovereignty Council, Lieutenant General Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, held a joint meeting by phone with the US Envoy for East Africa, Sudan and South Sudan Peter Lord, the UK Special Envoy for Sudan and South Sudan Robert Fairweather and the Norwegian Special Envoy for Sudan and South Sudan John Anton

The meeting discussed the current political developments in Sudan, and the efforts exerted to complete the political process, form a civilian transitional government, and lead to a democratic transition through holding elections.

The Vice-President of the Sovereignty Council gave an explanation to the envoys about the situation in the country and the efforts of the parties to bring the political process to its conclusion, stressing their full commitment to what was signed in the framework agreement, and the need for the military establishment to exit political work, stressing his keenness to promote stability.

And work to support the process of democratic transformation in the country. For their part, the international envoys expressed their support for the framework agreement, which was signed on the fifth of last December, to get out of the crisis, as the basis for forming a future civilian government in the country.

Notice how this wasn’t even in the fucking pic that I posted. But this is me atoning, so I don’t want to hear shit!!!

The guy who made that pic, as a few people pointed out, made shit up. But that’s no reason to disregard US involvement in the region. You actually should look for the US instigation with events like this, it’s a correct and time-saving bias to have. It tipped me off to the Tigrayan People’s Liberation Front being Washington-backed and having a history of working hand-in-hand with D.C. neocons well before one of their newscasters got drunk and admitted it (not even the smokiest smoking gun I’m just fixated on the video because it’s funny ass shit). You could also get the gist from that based off the Associated Press writing a bunch of articles about how Ethiopian authoritarianism was oppressing western NGOs (epic Lukashenko style) and using allusions to condone the use of child soldiers by the insurgency (which I consider an extreme reaction to losing an election). RWN never apologized for selling the same shit as the New York Times about Ethiopia iirc, continued to insist the dynamic was DC-backed central government versus smol bean insurgents last I tuned in. So without even listening I’m going to guess they sold this Sudan bit to you guys as a “both sides are so wacky omg stop fighting silly boys” thing as usual, pausing to salivate over the carnage in a mournful and prosaic fashion. Hopefully they got gud out of nowhere and I’m wrong idk, just thinking out loud to both of our detriments. Let me know though, listeners. I love doing such 360 noscopes. Anyways why do I have to do this shit. Sorry for injecting my terrible sense of humor into this. People are dying

      TL;DR: someone conservative made an infographic with incorrect facts in an otherwise correct narrative (possibly to make that narrative easy to "debunk").

      Lenincat is saying that one or two bullet points are wrong but the Sudan thing is actually due to US involvement. There is actual Russian involvement in the conflict and a there was a Red-Sea Naval Base Deal. And where there is Russian influence, the US is not far behind.

          So meeting-in-the-middle, there are probably security groups keeping an eye on Russian assets but their role in the conflict is being overblown. I've seen people talking about the Wagner support for the RSF being a cover for the actual US support they're getting so that the US doesn't look bad for starting an "illegitimate" coup. But this is all on heavily conservative sources.

          I also saw RT posted a podcast episode where the person interviewed called the head of the Sudanese military a CIA asset. A lot of people on the pro-Russia side are saying the US and Russia should stay out of African affairs, but Russia was actually planning a naval base??? Something isn't adding up, and I get the impression both sides are involved more than they claim on their own turf but less than their enemies claim. No doubt the conflict has CIA written all over it, but english sources seem to have a vested interest in confusing who is on whose side.
