WFP Returns to Khartoum: Amid Widespread Destruction, Sudanese Civilians Begin to Reclaim Their Capital

Source: Video by the World Food Programme featuring Leni Kinzli, Head of Communications and Spokesperson, WFP Sudan

“I’m really curious… will I recognize Khartoum?”

With these words, Leni Kinzli, Head of Communications and official spokesperson for the World Food Programme (WFP) in Sudan, begins a powerful journey back to a city scarred by war and emptied by conflict. Khartoum, once the hub of humanitarian operations and a symbol of national life, is now a landscape of shattered buildings and heavy silence.

Kinzli's team, composed of around ten WFP staff, traveled hundreds of kilometers from eastern Sudan toward the capital. “We’re about 10 team members, 10 WFP staff headed into Khartoum,” she narrates. “We’ve traveled so far, around 200 kilometers… it’s 6:30 in the morning. We are just leaving Atbara to take the final stretch to Khartoum—about four hours.”

As they reach Bahri, on the outskirts of greater Khartoum, the damage becomes undeniable. “You can really start to see the impacts of the war here,” Kinzli says. Arriving in central Khartoum, just minutes from their former office, the devastation is laid bare. “This is what our office looks like now. This was our conference room.”

Over the course of a day and a half, the team revisited their former headquarters, opened a new office in Omdurman, inspected warehouses, and witnessed a food distribution. The scale of loss is overwhelming. “The feelings are extremely mixed and bittersweet,” Kinzli explains. “A lot of loss, a lot of damage, a lot of grief.”

Yet despite this grief, there is a powerful shift underway: civilians are returning.

“But most importantly,” she says, “that people are starting to come back, and that there is a hope to rebuild.”

These returns are not random—they were made possible by the Sudanese Armed Forces liberating key areas from the UAE-backed Rapid Support Militia (Janjaweed), whose brutal campaign of terror and destruction forced mass displacement, looted civilian infrastructure, and turned homes into battlefields. It is only with the army’s regained control that humanitarian access and safe civilian return have become viable again.

With WFP now re-established on the ground, there is hope for partnership in reconstruction. “As WFP now with a presence here… we'll be able to contribute to those efforts,” says Kinzli. But she also makes clear the scale of the challenge: “There is an overwhelming amount of needs. There's so, so much to do. But we absolutely can do it—if everyone can work together, if the funding is available to support the Sudanese people and their hopes and their dreams, to help build those back as well.”

While WFP highlights the need for funding and coordination, true support from the international community must begin with moral clarity: by identifying and holding accountable those who armed, funded, and enabled the militia responsible for this destruction. The Sudanese people are not only rebuilding their homes—they are demanding justice.

Khartoum’s devastation, as seen in this WFP video, is not a natural disaster. It is the direct result of a foreign-backed militia campaign of war crimes. Naming those responsible is not optional—it is the foundation of any credible international engagement in Sudan’s recovery.

This WFP mission, led by Leni Kinzli, goes beyond documenting logistics — it captures a pivotal moment as Sudan’s capital begins to rise once more, first by the grace of Allah, then through the sacrifices of its Armed Forces, the resilience of its people, and the urgent need for principled international support.

[Cameron Hudson @_hudsonc]

This is worth 5 minutes. The most succinct explanation of the UAE role in #Sudan, among several other places across the region, and why it is seeming to risk its reputation and undermine the international consensus over these conflicts.

[Eric Reeves @sudanreeves]

For well over a year now, the world has had clear and overwhelming evidence of #UAE complicity in the violent destruction of #Sudan by the Rapid Support Forces (#RSF). Clear to all who would only look, the UAE has effectively supported a campaign of ruthless atrocity crimes.
Regularly and prominently reported, this complicity has been shamelessly denied by the ruthless, expansionary regime of UAE strongman Mohamed bin #Zayed.

What follows (seriatim) in this column of posts over the coming days is a “bibliography” of UAE complicity, providing links and key excerpts from the most authoritative reporting by the world’s finest human rights groups, newspapers, and policy journals. The immediate occasion is the recent report from Amnesty International, but subsequent posts will include reporting from:

Reuters
The Guardian
The New York Times
BBC
Middle East Eye
Foreign Policy (journal)
Yale University’s Humanitarian Research Lab
Human Rights Watch
UN agencies and country-specific reports to the Security Council
Many on-line sources, including: Radio Dabanga and Sudan Tribune

While the UAE’s motives in denying the damning findings of this extraordinary assemblage of highly authoritative reporting are obvious, what is far less clear is why Western nations fail to hold this brutal regime to account—other than for the most expedient of reasons. The U.S. is particularly culpable, the more so since reporting makes clear that there has been a full understanding within both the Biden and Trump administrations that U.S. silence itself is complicity in the barbaric destructiveness of the RSF. Advisors are quoted in several reports that make this silent complicity undeniable. Justifications made by pointing to security arrangements between the U.S. and UAE betray a willingness to ignore the overwhelming threat to Sudan’s security for which the UAE is largely responsible.

Although I can myself propose nothing organized or coordinated, my greatest hope for Sudan is that international citizenry finds the ways—and there are many—for pressuring the UAE to halt its deadly role in Sudan. We do know that the UAE has been able to seduce countless Western commercial enterprises, construction products, investments of all sorts, banking arrangements, and the presence of prominent sports and entertainment events—securing from some of these a permanent connections to the UAE. Western tourism is also a significant part of the UAE economy. A cursory search will find:

• Fashion and lifestyle brands, including Tommy Hilfiger, Charles & Keith, Skechers, ALDO, Crocs, Nine West, Calvin Klein, and Aéropostale
• Hundreds of Starbucks Coffee stores
• Western equipment of all sorts, from kitchen appliances to heavy construction equipment
• Grainger Tools

Altogether, some 1,500 U.S. firms have a presence in UAE, from Boeing and IBM to Microsoft and Google

French firms have a significant and growing presence in the UAE, with over 600 French subsidiaries operating across the Emirates

UK firms operate in the UAE, with over 5,000 British companies having a presence. These include BP, Rolls Royce, BAE Systems, HSBC, and Shell

BILATERAL TRADE WITH WESTERN COUNTRIES

The U.S., France, and the UK are major suppliers of advanced military equipment and weaponry (often re-exported by the UAE, as to the RSF)

Total bilateral trade between the U.S. and the UAE last year was more than $34 billion; with France the figure was €8.5 billion; with the UK £24 billion (for the EU as a whole, the figure was over $67 billion)

The U.S. Commercial Service has two offices in the UAE

SPORTS

Grand Prix racing
Cycling and tennis events
Professional golfing events
The 2024 USA Basketball Men’s National Team
NBA basketball games
FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup (2024)
(Manchester City, an English Premier League club, is owned by the Abu Dhabi United)
…as well as cricket, horseracing, polo and others

ENTERTAINMENT

• Western entertainment, including: top popular bands and big name pop stars, dancing, classical music, stage performers
• SeaWorld
• A Disney Theme Part (in progress)
• Warner Bros. has a presence on Yas Island (UAE)

It is also notable that the UAE plays a powerful role in OPEC, and is one of the founding members of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC). The UAE is a member of the UN and several of its specialized agencies, as well as the World Bank, IMF, Arab League, Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), and the Non-Aligned Movement.

Life under the highly repressive Emirati regime is comfortable for the rich and obedient. There is no concern for the ghastly realities of life in Sudan. This must change.

@casusbellii @wuontana @fabsenbln I confirm the capt. was Kenyan and F.O was from South Sudan. Pages on FB have issued condolences to the FO who was widely known to fly a B727 with a registration "AVIONS" which is used by the South Sudanese govt for military purposes. Not sure if this is the 727 that was hit.

House passes resolution condemning Darfur genocide

House Resolution 1328, recognizing the actions of the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) and allied militias in Darfur as acts of genocide, passed the House of Representatives on November 20, 2024, by voice vote (CR H6131-6132). The resolution cites numerous reports and statements documenting widespread atrocities against non-Arab ethnic communities, particularly the Masalit people, since fighting between the RSF and the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) escalated in April 2023. These atrocities, detailed throughout the resolution, allege the fulfillment of multiple criteria under Article II of the Genocide Convention, including mass killings (section Whereas, paragraph 1), causing serious bodily or mental harm (section Whereas, paragraph 2), and deliberately inflicting conditions of life calculated to bring about physical destruction (section Whereas, paragraph 3).

The resolution (section Resolved) condemns these atrocities and calls for an immediate end to violence in Sudan. It urges the U.S. government to work with the international community to protect civilians, enforce the UN Security Council arms embargo on Darfur, and broker a ceasefire (section Resolved, paragraph 3(A)). Furthermore, the resolution calls for consistent documentation of atrocities (section Resolved, paragraph 3(B)), funding for local organizations providing aid in conflict zones (section Resolved, paragraph 3(C)), and a review of the atrocities determination for Sudan every 180 days for three years (section Resolved, paragraph 3(D)).

H. Res. 1328 also supports international criminal investigations and tribunals to hold the RSF and its allies accountable for war crimes, crimes against humanity, and genocide (section Resolved, paragraph 4). The resolution highlights the RSF's targeting of Masalit men and boys, the killing of Masalit political and traditional leaders, and reports indicating that identifying as Masalit constituted a death sentence. This context, combined with the prior genocide in Darfur, is presented as evidence of the RSF's intent to destroy the Masalit and other non-Arab groups.

The resolution, after passing the House, is now pending further action. Its passage in the House marks a significant step in acknowledging the severity of the situation in Darfur and expressing the House's intent to pursue accountability for those responsible for the alleged atrocities. The next steps involve the bill's consideration by the Senate, and subsequent Presidential action.

[Khartoum Aid Kitchen @KhartoumKitchen]

For the past 6 months we’ve been very discreet about the work of our Kitchens and health centres in Bahri (Khartoum North) and how we supply them; because virtually all of the city was dominated by the militia meaning that it was already very dangerous for our volunteers, without any added media attention.

However, the security situation has greatly improved recently, so we are able to share more details about our work in Bahri. We operate 9 kitchens in Bahri as well as 3 health centres to treat children and mothers suffering from severe malnutrition.

Until recently the only way we could supply our kitchens was via dangerous river boat crossings from Omdurman or through the help of brave drivers who would volunteer to try to circumvent militia checkpoints to reach our kitchens. The Army’s recent advances though mean that we will no longer have to use these dangerous methods to supply our kitchens and will instead be able to use the Bridge connecting Bahri to Omdurman.

We would again like to thank you for your support because none of this work would be possible without your donations. Please follow us for more updates and as always if you are able to donate please click on the link 🙏🏽 https://t.co/i09cHruiDk
