The Taoiseach should acquaint himself with the theory of Frankenstein's monster, because the militias that are running around and now killing Sudanese people are, in a significant part, the Frankenstein's monsters that have been created by hundreds of millions of euro of European Union funding. The leader of the Rapid Support Forces, RSF, which was formerly the Janjaweed militias that committed genocide in Darfur, boasted that they got European Union money to provide their arms. They first crushed the Sudanese revolution, killing 100 people. Then they fell out with each other and are fighting over the spoils. They are armed and supported by outside forces, including the European Union. Of course, the Frankenstein's monsters that Europe supports are many. Israel, similarly, could not do what it is doing to the Palestinians day in, day out without the support of the United States and the European Union, who continue to allow it to act with impunity and to give it trade and other support.
