Letter: No oppression
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.I take issue with your article "Dumped in the desert with the city's sewage" (23 March).
Sudanese Christians enjoy full equality in all aspects of life, a status not matched for Muslims in Britain.
The displaced in Dar Es Salam are in fact driven out by the rebels. They came thousands of miles from the south to the north because it is here that they find security, education, water and housing. Victimised Bosnians did not flee to Belgrade, the capital of their oppressors. If Khartoum is so oppressive, wouldn't the displaced choose to go to a neighbouring country rather than travelling thousands of miles to live here?
Finally, Khartoum's sewage treatment plants are to the south and north of the capital, not near Dar Es Salam, as you say.
