'A mass casualty event that could exceed Hiroshima': Yale researcher on Sudan

A Yale researcher just used the phrase “a mass casualty event that could exceed Hiroshima” to describe what’s unfolding in Sudan, and the internet’s reaction is a mix of shock, fury, and “why is no one talking about this?” Nathaniel Raymond from the Yale Humanitarian Research Lab told anchor Bianna Golodryga that his team is documenting brutal atrocities. The community immediately turned the spotlight on global attention, arguing Sudan is being sidelined while other conflicts dominate headlines and hashtags.

The strongest opinions? People are blasting the silence. One user pushed the “compare-o-meter” to eleven, claiming it’s “far worse than anything alleged” elsewhere, while another rolled out the viral rallying cry: “All eyes on Sudan!” Drama erupted when a frustrated commenter asked why their post got flagged, detonating a broader rant about broken institutions: “The UN is an empty shell.” Hot takes accused Western powers of complicity, with one user alleging “US weapons are used to kill,” sparking arguments over who’s responsible and where protests should be. There’s even dark humor: folks joked the outrage meter is “stuck on buffering,” and memes about “attention bandwidth” flooded the thread. Bottom line: the community isn’t just reacting—they’re demanding receipts, action, and a front-page spotlight for Sudan.
