Do you know what the currently ongoing genocide with the largest amount of deaths so far? If you said Israel, you’re wrong.

It is literally called a forgotten war or a forgotten genocide, including by Sudanese people themselves. You clearly know absolutely nothing about what is going on in Darfur, so thanks for proving my point.
