The country that is turning into one giant military base.
Djibouti is a tiny country with no resources except for one: its location. China, the United States, and France are just 3 of the world powers vying for access to the vital choke point of Djibouti borders.

While the world has its eyes on the Ukraine and Palestine wars, another war has been raging: Sudan is currently suffering the worst humanitarian crisis of recent times. But browse the news headlines on an average day, and you won’t find anything about Sudan.

Why? This war happens to be in a part of the world that very few care about and has been struggling with its identity. My new documentary tries to showcase Sudan's beauty and potential and hopefully get you to care and talk about what has been happening.

You can also directly help as a viewer by sharing this video, speaking about Sudan, writing to your MPs and pressuring them to intervene in stopping the war, supporting the businesses of any Sudanese person in your city, and donating to any of the following trusted NGOs:

HomeTax Sudan was established during the 2019 Sudanese uprising. It focuses on providing food, shelter, and medical aid to people displaced by violence and unrest.

https://www.instagram.com/darfurwomenaction/
The nonprofit, with 501(c)(3) status, advocates for civilian protection, crime accountability, and lasting crisis resolution in Darfur. It focuses on maintaining global attention on Darfur, educating children in camps, and providing skills training and support for women survivors.

SAPA responds to growing needs by offering on-the-ground support and raising funds to improve humanitarian and medical aid for those fleeing and distressed.

The Humanitarian Aid Commission launched a Registered Emergency fundraiser to provide internally displaced persons food, water, and shelter. It is active in areas from Al-Jazeera State to Sennar State.

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. told racist white people: "You could bomb our homes and threaten our children, and we will still love you." When you really think about the level of insanity embodied within that statement it is really depressing. But not as depressing as the celebration of the man who stated it.My heart goes out to those four little girls that lost their lives in a place where they were supposed to be safe, and in the Era of a manhood that would allow such an atrocity to go unpunished and unavenged, for the sake of 'faith' in his 'white brothers'...I recall something I read in the Amsterdam News after the murder of Michael Brown:“What other race of men on the face of this Earth allows their children to be murdered in the streets with no repercussions? Have we become so emasculated as a race of men that not even our babies are worth fighting, killing and dying for? Real men fight for their elders, women and children, despite the odds against them."I was taught that if you want a woman’s loyalty ... give her a sense of security. How can a Black woman feel secure with a man who isn’t willing to fight, kill or die to protect the life she pushed out her womb for you? Are we a race of men? Or are we a race of cowards? This ain’t a rhetorical question. We must make a conscious decision to fight or wither away into extinction.”http://amsterdamnews.com/news/....2014/aug/14/police-b
It is no wonder why this man (Martin Luther King) is promoted so much in this white dominated society ... And thus we have all of the Trayvon Martins and Aiyana Jones’s of today.What's even more sad is that there are black males who will come on here and DEFEND this level of cowardice. They will come with innumerable excuses ("We can't win a fight with the white man"... "If we fight we die...") and justifications for this cowardly madness.I actually feel sorry for Black Women... they have to look around and see these sorry examples of manhood totally unashamed that they are complete sheep...Sisters... If you have a man that can sit here and defend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., take a long look down at your precious little black babies... and then come to the realization that you do not have a man.
