“Facial recognition is unlike any other form of surveillance. It enables automated and ubiquitous monitoring of an entire population, and it is nearly impossible to avoid. If we don’t stop it, it will be used not to keep us safe, but to control and oppress us.”

The world used to be so large and unconnected that we needed witnesses, people who could observe and bring back news.
Today, we are all witnesses. But the assumption that once gave value to the act of witnessing has proven to be completely untrue when it comes to Palestine.”

The one call to action people could amplify is a trade and arms embargo on the UAE until they stop arming and supporting the RSF. The UAE is one of Canada and the US’ biggest trading partners in the MENA region.

The RSF in Sudan is the Janjaweed militia that was convicted of genocide in Darfur. It is the armed group that European governments funded in the name if reducing African migration to Europe. It is the group that the United Arab Emirates is funding in exchange for illegal gold mining.

While the top UAE backed RSF genocidaires are wined and dined at the Waldorf Astoria in Washington DC, people are fighting for their lives in El Fashir under siege. This is partly enabled by US/Quad diplomacy and impunity.
