What are you implying? That coverage of Sudan's civil war is unacceptable because of the terrible things happening in Gaza? I'm genuinely confused. There is literally constant coverage and discussion of war and genocide in Gaza.

Not defending the parent, but this kneejerk whataboutism might be due to Dem senator Cory Booker being cornered on Gaza in an interview and trying to sidestep it by saying "What about Africa? No one is talking about Sudan!" despite him himself rarely allocating significant time during his 25-hour marathon monologue in the senate to talk about the issue (Sudan) in detail.
