    U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken

    Blinken Condemned for 'Empty Words' on Genocide as US Backs Israel's Obliteration of Gaza

    "You are currently arming, funding, and defending a genocide in Gaza. That is how history will remember you."

    Common Dreams Staff
    Aug 25, 2024

    U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken was accused of stark hypocrisy on Saturday after he condemned the Myanmar military's genocide against the Rohingya people while simultaneously aiding Israel's genocidal assault on the Gaza Strip.

    Marking the seventh anniversary of Myanmar's vicious ethnic cleansing of the stateless Rohingya, Blinken wrote on social media that "the United States continues to honor the victims and stand with the survivors as they seek justice and accountability for these atrocities."

    US Among Nations 'Brazenly' Flouting Arms Trade Treaty, 10 Years On: Amnesty

    As a treaty conference began, the human rights group called for an end to arms transfers to Israel and said that unlawful deals have led to "devastating loss of life" in Gaza, Sudan, and Myanmar.

    Amnesty International on Monday called for an end to arms transfers to countries including Israel, Sudan, and Myanmar, saying they cause "devastating loss of life" and contravene the Arms Trade Treaty, the parties to which are meeting in Geneva, Switzerland this week.

    The United Nations treaty was signed by well over 100 countries in 2013 and went into effect in 2014, though 27 signatories, including the United States, the world's largest arms exporter, still haven't ratified the deal, which regulates the trade of conventional weapons including non-nuclear bombs, shells, and missiles.

    5 Countries Where Violence Could Break Out in 2024

    Some of these nations have been dealing with simmering unrest which could erupt this year and seize the global spotlight.

    Jan 01, 2024

    Sadly, 2023 was a violent one on the global stage. War broke out between Israel and Hamas in Gaza, leading to the deaths of thousands of Palestinians and hundreds of Israelis, including many children on both sides. And the bitter war between Russia and Ukraine continued with no end in sight.

    As a result of the focus on these two conflicts, other countries have dropped off the radar for many people. Some of these nations have been dealing with simmering unrest, however, which could erupt in 2024 and seize the global spotlight.
