UAE calls on RSF and SAF to cease hostilities, and expresses "deep concern" over risk to El Fasher. Important. But will only be meaningful if UAE also halts its illegal arms transfers to the RSF. mofa.gov.ae/en/mediahub/ne…
Ethnic Tigrayans, who fear returning to disputed areas in western and southern Tigray, make up the bulk of the displaced – forced to live in overcrowded and makeshift displacement centres. thenewhumanitarian.org/news-feature/2…
Report Preview: Imagery analysis confirms RSF in outskirts of El-Fasher including likely checkpoints at major east + north roads; SAF cont. to bombard RSF locations Confirmation of +10 (total 21) razed communities since 31 Mar inc. 3 outside RSF-controlled Mellit btw 20-25 April
An escalation of hostilities in #Sudan's El Fasher would be catastrophic. Civilians there are already struggling to survive hunger & deprivation. They must be spared from violence. I call on the parties to protect civilians & ensure safe passage for those who flee to safety.
Sudan: RSF must immediately halt advance on el Fasher, capital of North #Darfur 🇸🇩, where hundreds of thousands of displaced people have taken refuge. SAF must end reported indiscriminate air attacks causing civilian casualties.

📹 Gathering of the Rapid Support Forces in North Darfur, supposedly mobilizing for an attack on El Fasher. They say "كل القوة الفاشر جوة", which is a little rhyme that means "All the force into El Fasher." April 24.
The fight for El Fasher is a new turning point in #Sudan's war. My ideas on what US should be doing to avoid a worst case outcome, including: -Convening the UN Security Council -Not waiting to impose sanctions on RSF -Develop plan for civilian protection csis.org/analysis/preve…
1/5 As part of our response to the catastrophic malnutrition & health crisis in Zamzam camp, North Darfur, we opened a 25-bed field hospital on Tuesday 23 April to treat the most-critical cases. In the space of just 2 days, we had already admitted 15 children for treatment

What I love most about this special edition, guest edited by @BeverlyOchieng, is that it tells stories about the Sahel that I haven't seen anywhere else - and these stories are not told through the distorting prism of US-France-Russia geopolitics
All Protocol Observed Welcome to Issue 159 of The Continent. The new military leaders of Burkina Faso, Mali and Niger — along with the not-so-new dynasty in Chad — are promising a new dawn in the Sahel.
Props to @flyethiopian for the common-sense policy of boarding back to front, one row at a time.
Congrats to @mokhbersahafi, Eltayeb Siddig, Khalid Abdelaziz, @nafisaeltahir and the entire @Reuters team on winning the inagural @opcofamerica "Continuing Coverage of Conflict Award" for their powerful series "Slaughter in Sudan"
I think its premature to call this a blow to Africa policy. If the US takes a unilateral decision to temporarily drawdown >100 troops >2 weeks before Deby's election in Chad, given what has happened in Niger, seems more like more a moment to re-evaluate. nytimes.com/2024/04/25/us/…

Wonder how they picked up on that, the hints have been so subtle
NEW: U.S. officials are starting to accept that their strategy of pressing Niger and other war-battered African countries to break off ties with Moscow and embrace democratic norms is no longer working. politico.com/news/2024/04/2…

👏 I'll keep saying this till I die: grassroots organisations are the only ones to practice democracy or rule-by-consensus anywhere in #Sudan. The system must change to let these structures lead, they must not be forced into an existing system that recycles coups and civil wars

@LaurenBinDC With a full understanding of their limitations, I believe MILOBs are effective and critically needed NOW.

"in the face of such atrocities, displacement and suffering, forgetting is no longer a casual act; it is an intentional one. Forgetting is a privilege. For those inside Sudan and their family and friends abroad, forgetting is not an option." #Sudan dawnmena.org/forgetting-sud…
Staggering, in fact. Almost total acquiescence to mass atrocities and the weapons flows that are enabling them.
Striking that, a year into the war, with full knowledge that genocide has taken place before in Darfur and the Janjaweed has become something more powerful, there seems to still be no serious discussion of an int'l intervention, even just the deployment of intl military observers
P.S.: true heroes in effort to warn world about El Fasher, final battle for Darfur, were resistance committees and other civilians in harm’s way who risked their lives again + again for their families and communities. Honor them by telling the truth about our collective inaction.
In the past week, @HRL_YaleSPH confirmed 11 burned primarily Zaghawa villages to west of El Fasher; confirmed combat action in city by SAF consistent with RSF presence; and identified destruction + abandonment of critical installation protecting Zamzam camp from attack. 2/5
The framing of #Sudan as a "forgotten conflict," ”privileges the onlooker—that forgetful observer who is perhaps riddled with other concerns, but just not the world's largest humanitarian disaster,” writes @KholoodKhair 👇 dawnmena.org/forgetting-sud…
Genuine question why do so many people think the RSF is not part of the Sudanese state apparatus? The state is fighting itself…the RSF is not an armed rebel group.
