2/5 Nathaniel Ray of Yale's Humanitarian Research Lab says civilians & #Sudan army do not have a clear escape route from #Darfur's El Fashir - "we call this a kill-box" @nattyray11
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
Final battle for Darfur has begun in El Fasher, according to our team @HRL_YaleSPH - if RSF wins, they will control all regional capitals and their forces will be in position to complete the genocide their Janjaweed predecessors began at start of 21st Century. Now is time to act.
Happening now - the UN Security Council is meeting to discuss the situation in Sudan, marking one year since the country was engulfed in conflict.
Outlook is bleak. Key that diplomats recognize the imminent risks facing people in el Fasher - right now!

Last January, I noticed something peculiar in my 2yo’s bedroom that - after a year of obsessive reporting - led me to a profound cosmic revelation about what’s even possible in our universe. A 🧵.
@THECITYNY We have a supper rugged off-road stroller and it’s still tough. Also not everyone has the $600-$1000 to spend on one (more costly if you have more than young child)
