Gaza commanded our attention. Why hasn't Sudan?

What makes people pay a lot of attention to some wars and crises, but not others? And what does that attention actually do for the people in those situations?

We're looking at Sudan, which has entered its fourth year of a civil war this week. But, unlike in Gaza, the violence and famine there has struggled to break through headlines in the U.S.

We talk to Sudanese journalist Isma'il Kushkush, political scientist Scott Straus, Sudan expert Alex de Waal, and political scientist Mai Hassan. See pcm. for information about our collection and use of personal data for sponsorship and to manage your podcast sponsorship preferences.
