Regional authorities in #Ethiopia's Tigray region, the TPLF, should immediately withdraw a disturbing new law that grants sweeping powers to compel military service and punish dissent, and imposes the death penalty for a range of vague offenses. New @hrw https://t.co/Yx4XZu7BF4

[Kholood Khair @KholoodKhair]

In the final weeks of the dry/fighting season, the RSF is planning to make gains by taking Obeid.

Like with other towns it will be violent and bloody. As before, SAF will withdraw/negotiate an escape.

Again, civilians will be slaughtered

« La Croix » dénonce cette decision arbitraire des autorités éthiopiennes qui viole le principe de la liberte de la presse.

#Ethiopie : l’accréditation et le titre de séjour de @a_passilly, correspondante de @LaCroix résiliés à cause d’un reportage à Shire au #Tigré. RSF dénonce une entrave au journalisme devenue courante et demande aux autorités de mettre un terme à l’hostilité envers les médias internationaux et de libérer les 5 journalistes éthiopiens toujours enfermés.

[Gauthier Vaillant @gauthvaillant]

Tout mon soutien à @a_passilly, excellente consœur et ex-collègue à La Croix, qui a fait le choix courageux de devenir correspondante dans une région particulièrement difficile à couvrir, où elle a toujours effectué un travail remarquable.

Le Soudan du Sud ne se résume pas à la guerre et à la faim, mais ces enjeux sont effectivement cruciaux pour la population, il est essentiel d'en parler

Grand merci à @a_passilly pour sa belle enquête sur MINGKAMAN, et à big up à @ReformeHebdo d'en faire sa couv. cette semaine

🚨 Definitive proof of RSF slaughtering unknown thousands of civilians in El Fasher from @HRL_YaleSPH 🚨 We mapped and studied 150 + body piles from the first week of RSF control of the city. No civilian pattern of life. Almost no civilian burial activity. Mass body disposal ops.

The RSF captures Babanusa in West Kordofan & SAF double tap drone strike targets Kouma, South Kordofan killing at least 48 people - including civilians and young children.

The Kordofans are now the epicentre of Sudan's brutal war with the most vulnerable caught in the crossfire

[Yousra Elbagir @YousraElbagir]

As of today - only around 10,500 new arrivals registered in Tawila, the nearest safe displacement centre to Al Fashir.

100,000 people have fled Al Fashir since it fell to the RSF on October 26th. Fear and concern about the condition of 10,000s of escapees.

#SouthSudan's President Salva Kiir dismissed his deputy, Benjamin Bol Mel, from all his positions and demoted him from the rank of general to a regular soldier, removing him from the National Security Service entirely.
Sources in Juba say Kiir lost trust in Bol after he replaced the presidential guard without informing him.
The move prompted Kiir to sideline Bol s allies and bring back his old security and political circle, including his security adviser Tut Gatluak.

🚨ATROCITY ALERT 🚨

1) Most remaining civilians have not fled El Fasher - likely trapped or dead
2) RSF continues mass killings
3) Displaced people visible in Garni, location of reported gross human rights abuses.

At least 171 children and 58 elderly people have died of hunger in the besieged North Darfur city of El Fasher since late August, after the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) cut off food supplies, a local humanitarian commission said.

Mekelle – A new report by the “Commission of Inquiry on Tigray Genocide (CITG)” has documented what it describes as “war-induced genocidal sexual and gender-based violence” committed against hundreds of thousands of women and girls across Tigray during the two-year Tigray war.

The report, released on Thursday, paints a harrowing picture of the systematic use of rape, sexual slavery, and other forms of gender-based violence as weapons of war.

According to the report, out of 481,201 women and girls surveyed, 286,250 suffered at least one form of gender-based violence, while 166,621 (58.2%) reported experiencing sexual violence. It further reveals that 152,108 (53.14%) survivors were raped — 70 percent of them gang-raped by between two and fifty perpetrators. The findings indicate extreme brutality. Some 21,117 women (7.4%) were held in prolonged sexual slavery.

Commissioner Yemane told Addis Standard that the findings were based on a door-to-door survey conducted using the ODK application and guided by the IASC GBV principles. “As the war-induced sexual violence was widespread throughout Tigray, universal screening was employed,” he said.

Yemane noted that Thursday’s publication presents only the main findings. “We have thousands of testimonies and stories that were not included in the current report, so there will be additional work and reports focused specifically on SGBV-related issues,” he confirmed.
