There is evidence the UAE backed RSF is engaged in mass murder in El-Fashar in Darfur.
Why is the U.S. allowing the UAE - which we fund militarily - help the brutal RSF engage in mass atrocity?
FYI - this isn't just about Trump - the Biden Admin was letting this happen too.

Let me be clear. As someone who has been professionally involved with the biodefense / biosecurity sector for nearly 20 years, and has worked on biological risk analysis for Covid-19 since early 2020, reducing one's risk of being infected is not health anxiety. It's just smart.

The recognition of Palestine is a victory for the many Australians who have been calling for this, but will not end the genocide in Gaza. The Albanese Government must now sanction Israel for its criminal actions the way it has sanctioned Russia for its invasion of Ukraine.
