We launched the #EestiAI initiative with the ambition of becoming the most AI-savvy nation. Over the next 18 months, 100 000 people will receive AI training, and 1 million AI learning bites will be delivered. This represents a significant portion of Estonia’s workforce. We are starting immediately with a total of 15 high-impact projects in the public sector, business support, education, and healthcare. The goal is to rapidly bring AI skills into every field.🇪🇪
Nathaniel Raymond, Executive Director at Humanitarian Research Lab (HRL) at Yale School of Public Health @nattyray11 :
“For what happens in al-Fashr. And so I’m going to say some things that I’ve never said publicly before here in a second. We got ground photos from al-Janina pretty early on in the killing that we had not made public. And that became very important, because we were using them to measure the bodies, because there were so many body piles of Masalit men and boys. They basically caught this one neighborhood and blocked it off. And they raped the women and the girls, but the women and the girls would gather the bodies and put them in basically a mausoleum they created out of a schoolhouse. And so we could navigate and follow the RSF killing from space using the body piles as navigation points. They were killing so many. And so we got very good measurement that the average dead Masalit boy was 1.3 meters and dead Masalit man was 2 meters in 30-centimeter, very high-resolution satellite imagery. And so we then detect, through NASA sensors, thermal plumes exploding to the north and a little bit to the south, but mostly the north-northwest. The village of Serba goes up. We watch that from space as they attack like hyenas. They come in on one side to lead the people in one direction. Then they attack from the other direction very closely. And so what I’m saying is we assessed at that point for the US government that the RSF was using the fighting in the capital to finish the Darfur genocide beginning with the Masalit. And we sent a very important secret warning saying that al-Fasher would likely be under attack by the end of the 2023-2024 dry season. So an important thing here. Any Sudanese people in the house? Yeah. So you guys know that the fighting in Sudan is seasonal. And the weather patterns are essential to assessing and predicting what people are going to do. And so we sent a message to the US government up to National Security Council, National Intelligence Council, that al-Fasher was going to be under attack probably earliest November ‘23 into the beginning of ‘24. And we briefed the UN Security Council in private session in July 2023. So we were two and a half years from the massacre in al-Fasher that would happen on October 26 until now. And so we had two and a half years of warning. And we could see from how they were moving the forces out of Jenana. They were attacking the critical SAF garrisons, but also the communities around Zalengi, Nyala, Kass, Ardmada, the Bulbul massacre. And so they were basically creating this net that the focus was al-Fasher. And the reason why al-Fasher was so important to go back to the first genocide is that the Zagawa and the four, really because of, in a way, success of UN peacekeeping, had run to al-Fasher as the safe haven. And around al-Fasher, you have al-Salam, Abu Shuk, and most importantly, Zamzam camp, 12 kilometers to the south. So on one hand, they go into the safe haven, and they become sitting ducks. And so we could see, by the time we get to the spring of 2024, so we sat the siege watching from space for 18 months. The siege lasted 18 months. I want to put this in perspective. Al-Fasher was under siege for three and a half times Stalingrad, and three quarters the siege of Leningrad during World War II. Gaza was under IPC-5 for, I think, a month to two months. Correct me if I’m wrong. We were under IPC-5 and al-Fasher, integrated phase classification level five, highest level of famine, for 15 months, OK, 15 months. And now that the massacre has happened and the city has fallen to the RSF, the aid workers that we talk to, and this is a good lead-in to my friend, that those who have arrived in Tawila, which Nick mentioned, which is the last safe haven out of al-Fasher, those very few that have arrived have one of the highest rates of malnutrition we have ever recorded in my knowledge as a humanitarian. And who arrived out of the massacre?…

🟥 “Silence is the language of the oppressor.”
🔳Sudanese journalist Naji-Al Kurshabi breaks down mid-interview, saying he wishes he could write the stories instead of speak them because the pain of saying them aloud is unbearable.
🔳What’s happening in Sudan is not distant. It’s the same story as Gaza, as Syria the world watching while entire families are starved into silence and cities reduced to ash. Oppression has no borders. No colour. No excuse. If you care about justice in Gaza, you must care about Sudan too.
🔴Watch this man’s voice crack then ask yourself why those responsible are still met with handshakes, not handcuffs.

Please share the fundraising link below to supply aid to Sudanese families displaced due to the genocide. Millions are starving as very little aid is being allowed into various cities like Al Fashir, and children are dying due to the famine and untreated illness.

In shock and in tears, two children cry and bleed after an artillery strike that killed their mother. No location or side confirmed — a heartbreaking glimpse of Sudan’s war on civilians.
#KeepEyesOnSudan
I just donated to support blind artisans in Sudan who are trying to rebuild their lives after losing everything in the war. Every little bit helps. Please consider sharing or donating. https://t.co/0evsCoeLhe
This is the case of an elderly Sudanese female patient who urgently needs a kidney tumor removal surgery. I would be grateful if you could share it on Twitter and other platforms, especially since donations are still at zero!

Nearly 300,000 people are facing #Famine. A girl from El Fashir, the largest city in North #Darfur, #Sudan, is appealing for food aid and an end to the siege imposed by the (RSF) for nearly 16 months.

WFP has not been able to deliver food assistance to El Fashir by road for over a year as all roads leading there are blocked.

🚨 Cholera is spreading rapidly in North Darfur, Sudan, putting over 640,000 children at risk, warns @UNICEF.
Tawila alone has seen 1,180+ cases and at least 20 deaths, as conflict cuts off aid and overwhelms health services.
#Sudan#Darfur#CholeraCrisis
Volunteers sent us rare footage from inside Al Fashir town - the city is in a complete state of paralysis from a tightened RSF siege forcing starvation on 900,000 people in the locality.
Aid groups say their convoys are attacked by the RSF when trying to get food in.
Scrambling for attention, coverage and reporting, the war in Sudan is buried in the shadow of two others, hot conflicts that the world's leaders and policy makers are more occupied with. The situation in El-Fashir in North Darfur is bad, RSF siege is causing starvation.
The world turns a blind eye to the suffering of those with darker skin and tightly coiled hair who have been erased through neglect and racial discrimination.
A devastating famine is destroying El Fasher in Sudan In the Abu Shouk Zamzam and Al Salam camps families face intentional starvation Women elders and children the most vulnerable suffer severe hunger and widespread malnutrition Deaths from hunger are tragically recorded daily while the RSF militia supported by the United Arab Emirates often described as the Zionist colonial state’s lapdog in the Middle East blocks food and aid from reaching those in desperate need This is not a humanitarian crisis it is a war crime
I stand in full solidarity with the people of Darfur and Sudan We must demand immediate humanitarian access and an end to this brutal campaign of starvation and siege Those responsible and their supporters must be exposed and held accountable The world must not turn away.
