After months of skirting around the issue of genocide we now have a conclusive report by @TheRWCHR that tells us what should have been already determined:

The RSF & allied militias are responsible for genocide in #Darfur against Masalit and other non-Arab groups

#Sudan: Despite the war, still hosts hundreds of thousands of refugees.
For 2.5 years with @EU_FPI, we supported young Ethiopian refugees' talents and helped build social peace between Sudanese & refugees.Having these foundations is all the more needed today.#InvestInHumanity

[William Carter @WillCarter_NRC]

It’s infuriating and awkward as hell, but it’s been 100 days now and someone should say it. The global humanitarian financing system is unapologetically racist. As is the international protection system.

A simple illustration …

It’s a tale of two capitals, both hit by airstrikes as large-scale war explodes.
One is in Europe. No expense spared; billions of aid dollars offered in days. Their refugees welcome.
One is in Africa. We need to grovel for months for millions of aid dollars to respond. Their refugees unwelcome, passports shredded, visas not issued, legal stay in other countries diminished, pushbacks and deportations, and no means or help to exit the killzone.

Tell me I’m wrong here?
Tell me if this is a world you’re OK being a global citizen in?

If the multilateral system really is interested in what it says it is, then the G20 and UN GA needs to redress this. Intergovernmental bodies mandated to oversee aid and protection need to speak up and unequivocally. Global citizens need to care more, demand better.

The point isn’t that one of these crises should get less and the other more—both are underfunded and need more. It’s just, one is clearly distressed, desperate, and dying, yet deeply neglected.

[NRC East & Southern Africa @NRC_EAY]

What do 100 days of war in #Sudan mean for hundreds of thousands of children?

Watch as they describe what they've been through, and how we're supporting them.

Sudanese artists helped lead the revolution, drawing attention across Sudanese society and even globally. What's happened to them since the war started? Brilliant article from Azza Ahmed and others https://t.co/FqURJP6ob0
