Why does no one in the West care?

Haiti is not so interested in foreign "help" as cholera was reintroduced to Haiti in October 2010. It is widely believed to be the result of contamination by infected United Nations peacekeepers deployed from Nepal who came to help after the disastrous earthquake earlier that year. Since then, cholera has spread across the country and become endemic.

Speaking of 'the world's policeman', developments in Haiti - Trump has taken an interest and has said that countries that contribute a peacekeeper force will be viewed 'favourably' by the US, which as far as I can work out means Canadian and European boots on the ground in return for less punitive tariffs.

We did a fair bit of both! Britain used to be called the world's policeman! From about 1815 for a hundred years or so the navy intervened in a lot of global conflicts, suppressed piracy and things like that. There was also a squadron that intercepted slave ships, freed slaves and resettled them, as well as pressuring other countries to end slavery. As well as all the colonising and stealing stuff of course! History is complicated!

As an Irish person whose country was on the receiving end of Britain “barging in and helping everyone “. A huge amount of issues are hangovers from Britain’s vile and rampant colonisation -see Rwanda to name just one. “Barging in and helping everyone” is one of the most ridiculous things I’ve read about the British forces on here . Please read up on your history and the impact it has had globally .

While I agree with the sentiment, it has to be said that Rwanda is Belgium's mess, not the UK's.

I thought we more colonised and stole stuff as opposed to trying to tell them how to run their own affairs.

I mean if you go far back enough we did, 'Pax Britannia' and all that.

This.

We are criticised for getting involved in conflicts overseas - some say it’s an imperialist attitude. You can’t have it both ways!

I sometimes read that ‘we shouldn’t see Africa as a basket case - it doesn’t need or appreciate Western intervention “. Africa (which is a large number of very different nations anyway) can manage its own affairs, thank you.”

Honestly - “The West”, whatever that may be - and if it ever was an entity, it’s de-stabilising rapidly- can’t do right for doing wrong.

I think particularly Britain’s days of barging in and trying to help everyone around the world are over. We haven’t got the defence budget, for one thing.

The UN needs to take the lead, not The West.

Honestly this entire thread can be summed up as "I know nothing about something therefore it doesn't exist." Or else it is just a roundabout dig at UK supporters of Palestine.

Ukraine and Gaza are wars of aggression. One country has invaded another or two countries have declared war. Yemen and Sudan are civil wars with different local factions fighting each other. The first type of war can sometimes be solved with a peace treaty and international sanctions, and sometimes needs other countries to to intervene to make it clear that further expansion will not be tolerated, eg Russia. But a civil war is almost impossible to fix. As others have said, what do you want to do when both sides are committing atrocities? If we did intervene what would we then do?

Africa is a continent. OP is talking about one country: Sudan.
