This is an excellent option if you are willing to accept hundreds of millions of people will die in the process and that it will take a hundred years or more for that to happen. Development does not happen overnight and it takes a toll.
That being said, my impression is that the people leaning left in politics are strongly against non-interventionism. This means it will become a political issue in the countries that can help (or intervene), especially because most of these countries have a very strong left leaning. Sudan will become ammunition in electoral fights in elections, politics will win and interventions will happen just because of that, not because the interventionists care in any way about people of Sudan, they are just simple pawns on their chess board.

Unless you’re using “the left” to mean “neoliberals”, as seems to be common among the American right, in which case let me refer you to the first paragraph (since the American Democratic Party is by all measures a right wing party).

- AdrianB1 2y agoI find the left wing in general (not just US) to be etatist. That makes it interventionist in everyone's life by definition.
- marxisttemp 2y agoInterventionism refers to foreign policy. The right wing is also statist, they’d just prefer to use the power of the state to hammer others down rather than lift them up.
