This story could not have been told without the courage of our contributors, who wanted the world to hear their voices and understand the reality of what's happening in Sudan.

With unprecedented access, BBC Eye film “Inside Darfur: Siege and Massacres” tells the story of two cities.
One that has fallen to the paramilitaries, and another cut off from the outside world, fighting to survive.

Two years now of this appalling horror in #Sudan.

Absolute barbarity towards civilians, many of them women and children.

Now a huge refugee camp, which should have been a place of safety, attacked and taken over by men who rape and murder.

Under constant bombardment, #el-Fasher has been largely cut off from the outside world for a year, making it impossible for journalists to enter the city - - @HebaBitar

Un panita de la esquina, me acaba de interceptar llegando a una panadería en una esquina de mi barrio. Me pregunta: “Cómo es la vaina con las actas?”
E inmediatamente el mismo me contesta: “Yo lo entiendo así, en el juego de dominós, cuando hay una tranca se voltean las piedras y se cuenta en frente de todos los jugadores”.
Coño, q sabio es nuestro pueblo!

After our @C4Dispatches @Basement_Films Sri Lanka investigation @UN_HRC calls on SL gov for investigation & prosecutions in Easter Sunday bombings in compliance with “international standards..independent & transparent with international assistance & full participation of victims”

[PBS News @NewsHour]

Sri Lanka’s president said he will appoint a committee chaired by a retired Supreme Court judge to investigate allegations made in a British television report that the South Asian country’s intelligence was complicit in the 2019 Easter Sunday bombings. https://t.co/fLEHaApiPz

[World Politics Review @WPReview]

The latest accusations that people close to Sri Lanka’s powerful Rajapaksa family were involved in the April 2019 Easter Bombings are not new. But their impact is likely to be much greater than that of the previous unsubstantiated rumors.
