[Sudan / Abyei / West Kordofan] - The Uniformed Self Bombs the Funeral to Feed a Phantom of Victory

Event Baseline: Sudanese military drones struck a truck carrying people to a funeral and a nearby fuel market. Over 300 people were killed, including mourners and commuters. A separate drone attack near a market in al-Dibab killed 80 more.

The warring self attacks the most sacred human ritual: mourning. It targets civilians to deny the enemy's humanity. The phantom of victory demands total destruction. This is tribal identity in its final stage: if I cannot rule, I will make existence impossible. The soldiers see only categories, not beings. The drone operator is separated by technology from the screams.

The belief that one's tribe must survive by erasing another is a mechanical loop with no exit. The dead are just data points to feed the phantom. The system has crashed. The only output is more corpses. The self that bombs a funeral will bomb itself when the tribe turns inward. No victory exists, only the illusion.
