It really sucks that Sudan and Congo are just treated like props to bring up as whataboutisms in Palestine discourse. Because it means that we aren't even articulating the contradictions in those struggles. Ask those people, "who are we freeing Sudan from? What are your demands?"
Who do you support in Sudan? Who's victory leads to a free Sudan? Who's defeat? What material forces drive the war? What are your concrete demands of your own country that aid in the victory of the Sudanese people?
While a small chunk of anti-imperialists might say the SAF and RSF both represent a continued threat for the Sudanese people, and throw support behind the NCF, I dont think that most people talk about it that way. The polular understanding of Sudan is just, "there is a famine."
If you just say "Free Sudan" as some cloudy slogan or just talk about it like a famine and nothing else, or worse: as a gotcha inside the discourse of the Palestinian struggle, that doesn't advance the Sudanese struggle.
And mark my words when that struggle does become more clearly and popularly articulated, and people are out on the streets making demands, a lot of those folk replying to "Free Palestine" with "What about Sudan" are not gonna be marching.
Also even this isnt quite right because it reaply undersells the role of states sending military supplies over like the UAE.
