will never give up the fight for justice in Darfur. I will not stop documenting crimes and calling for an end to impunity. I will always seek to bring attention to what is happening in my region. The next generation deserves nothing less.

🌍 Throughout 2022 we’ve been reporting on the local dialogues Sahelian communities have held with jihadists to try and mitigate conflict. You can find it all wrapped up here in a year-end review.

I have a new piece up at @newhumanitarian, on the way the state produces violence in #SouthSudan that the international community is keen to depoliticise as "inter-communal" violence. https://t.co/XBlWCF0sGP

The deportation of humanitarian officials in Ethiopia silences those wanting to speak out, and leaves some agencies rudderless at a time when they are needed the most. @MariaG_N reports:

Best piece of reporting yet on the terrible cost of the war in Amhara by @MariaG_N for @newhumanitarian after the Tigray forces went on the offensive in July into the region.

The Tigray rebel advance has created a spillover humanitarian crisis in Ethiopia’s Amhara and Afar regions, overwhelming an already overstretched aid mission. @MariaG_N reports from the ground: https://t.co/d9m9ohB2P7

"To identify bodies, the search teams weren’t taking DNA samples: Instead, they held up belts, shoes, clothes, and other items pulled from the ground in the hope that residents would recognise who they belonged to." @DFNimubona @newhumanitarian #longreads https://t.co/pyuWweSKyx

Hundreds were killed, 1000s forced to flee in western Niger. And Europe-supported strategies did little to tackle it. Our latest for @newhumanitarian, with @Moussaaksar @TomasStatius & great editing by @PKleinfeld. https://t.co/zNUCp5HHKF

Goma is an aid hub but there’s been little support for Congolese displaced by Mount Nyiragongo. Read @sophie_neiman on the slow, politicised relief effort. https://t.co/OmysrQAJjL (@newhumanitarian)

Journalist @DFNimubona has been travelling across Burundi as a truth and reconciliation commission exhumes thousands of mass graves dating back to the 1970s. Here he reflects on the country’s troubled past – as well as his own. https://t.co/aFAtrzebgn

This story took me six months to research and report. I owe a big debt of gratitude to a lot of people.
