for academics and others using the term "conflict" or "war" to describe genocide. There is a time and place to critique the word crisis, that was not one of them. Context is everything (2/2).

I witnessed a Sudanese woman being policed by a non-Sudanese academic for using the phrase "world's largest humanitarian crisis" to describe the situation in Sudan, critiquing the term crisis and it was such a misplaced critique. Reserve that kind of language policing (1/2)
