It's been 2 years since the beginning of war in #Sudan, a brutal conflict that’s triggered the world’s largest displacement crisis.

The UN and its partners have been on the ground responding & continue to call for peace in the region.

I could’ve kept this conversation going for hours. Four inspiring women spoke about the fight for girls’ education from Africa to Afghanistan. One of the great things about the UN is the people you meet. Also: The spotlight remains locked on the world’s most pressing issues.

We tend not to write about ourselves @AP. But this harrowing account from Mariupol reveals why eyewitness journalism is so critical. Without this brave work, the world would never have known: ‘Names on a list: Fleeing Mariupol, one checkpoint at a time.’
