When people see successful athletes, they celebrate them.

They train like this daily in Kenya whether it rains or sunshine, these people give their best

Credibility test for Moscow in Mali: @IbrahimYahayaIb “They have to make sure the situation is under control if they want to remain in business in Africa. If they are unable to help [authorities] regain initiative, then who else will contract with them?”

Told @AJEnglish: If the ceasefire is extended without a new round of talk, it would be a fragile pause, not a durable ceasefire. As long as maritime pressure and mutual accusations continue, the risk of miscalculation remains very high.

Much needed interventions from religious leaders have begun in Mogadishu regarding the almost daily illegal evictions of people from their private homes. Sheikh Bashir today issued a clear call from the pulpit, it is only right to expect that President @HassanSMohamud responds through his usual pulpit sermons with the same clarity and accountability.

As the Sheikh rightly said “every question deserves an answer, every complaint deserves a response.” This is not an isolated complaint. Not one, not two, but hundreds of citizens have raised serious concerns about being dispossessed of their homes.

Even the Prophet (SAW) made it a duty to explain how public resources, including the spoils of war, were managed and distributed.

If such transparency was required then, who are we to dismiss legitimate public grievances today?

Here, reflections from @EroComfort and I from the #Sudan conference in Berlin.

A marked contrast: While Sudanese meeting in Berlin took a courageous step forward, the international meeting showed that outside peace efforts are backsliding.

The priority now should be clear: to secure agreement among key internal and external players on a day after for Sudan while urgently pushing for a humanitarian truce.

The outside powers most entangled in this conflict should help end it, not prolong it: https://t.co/cupbik2WXT

🧵Even as the world’s eyes focus on conflict in the Gulf, Sudan is enduring its own brutal war.

Millions have been displaced and even more are at risk of famine.

Much more needs to be done to stop the world’s worst humanitarian crisis from deepening: https://t.co/cupbik2WXT

Three years on, #Sudan is horribly divided and peace remains elusive.

New publication from @CrisisGroup on how a military power struggle in #Sudan became an escalating regional war — and how it could end.

In Berlin w/@alanboswell for Sudan conference: the war is too big, cruel and geopolitically important to be allowed to rage indefinitely. Sudan needs a landing zone. But it does require outside backers of the warring parties to put more of their political capital on the line.

[Comfort Ero @EroComfort]

The title alone from @Mo_IbrahimFdn chairman should tell you what’s at stake.

“Sudan’s war risks destabilising an entire region, triggering proxy wars elsewhere in the Horn of Africa and beyond.”

[Mohamed Abdirizak @MAbdirizak]

I’ve signed this @CrisisGroup statement calling for a Hormuz initiative to protect global food security.

Disruptions to fertiliser and food supply chains will hit the Horn of Africa hardest—where millions already face acute hunger. This is a matter of urgency, not diplomacy.

The war in Iran is already having a devastating impact on Sudan's agriculture sector and things will only worsen as it goes on. https://t.co/zYAgKV3fYH

« The price of continued conflict, pitting an unconstrained U.S. president against a regime prepared to set the world on fire, is too high. Better to end it immediately… than run the risk of an ever more unmanageable, expanding & perilous war. »

Sudan’s war is not only a humanitarian catastrophe. It is also a critical test for African diplomacy and the credibility of the @_AfricanUnion

Watch Urea as much as oil. Unlike oil, almost no country on earth (other than China to an extent) has strategic reserves of the former. There’s no bypass pipeline for urea. There’s no OPEC equivalent that can agree to surge production elsewhere overnight
