Meanwhile, in Sudan, due to USAID cuts
- “babies starved quietly”
- “older siblings died begging for food.”
- it has become “harder to contain cholera outbreaks,” killing those weakened by hunger

- $14.4 billion for transportation and removal, on top of the current annual budget of $750 million
- $8 billion for hiring
- And more

Great reflection and analysis here by Christopher L. Brown on the long intellectual impact of Eric Williams’ Capitalism & Slavery (1943), which was just reprinted by @Penguin, and by @UNC_Press. It’s a feast of insights. From the London Review of Books.
