“The children of Ukraine belong with their families, not in Russia.” @MariaStenergard, @BenjaminDousa. Russia has forcibly displaced and systematically deported tens of thousands of Ukrainian children. Large numbers of children have been forced to change their identity, moved to

Conflict, displacement and insufficient access to health services are contributing to a malnutrition crisis in #Sudan. Our teams are treating rising numbers of severely malnourished children; in areas like Tawila rates of malnutrition among children and adults are staggering.

Listen, the “El Fasher is coming back to life” narrative RAF apologists falls apart quick. Why don’t you allow in aid by UN? Why have you spent past two weeks burning and burying objects the size of bodies? Why weren’t those objects visible prior to October 26? And the videos????

Quite a feat to write this whole article without mentioning the elephant in the room: the UAE's reported role in the war tearing DAL Group's country, Sudan, apart.

Saddened to learn of the killing of Dr Adam Ibrahim Ismail in yet another tragedy for #Sudan’s El-Fasher region. @WHO mourns the passing of Dr Ismail and demands an end to violence against health workers. Sudan’s bloodshed must end. Peace is the best medicine.

The RSF shot civilians by the dozen, street by street, and chased others fleeing, survivors of the first two days of the al-Fashir takeover told us. Their testimonies help explain what al-Fashir - cut off from the world - might look like now. Our story: https://t.co/qO9JUbnQvn

Reuters provides a remarkably detailed view of what happened inside El #Fasher: "RSF fighters raided homes in residential areas having captured the army's base the day before, he said. "Fifty or sixty people in a single street... they kill them bang, bang, bang. Then…” "That's

There is a narrative circulating that Sudan's Islamists are behind SAF reservations over a ceasefire - this ignores key stakeholders in Port Sudan's coalition, not only military hardliners, but also the SAF's Darfuri partners.

Last month, El Fasher, in Sudan’s Darfur region, fell to rebel forces. “The world hasn’t caught up to what a big deal El Fasher is,” a humanitarian researcher at Yale said. “We are talking tens upon tens of thousands of potential dead in five days.”

Searing story from @NewYorker on fall of El Fasher with me talking about @HRL_YaleSPH monitoring of the ongoing massacre. 👀

The United Nations Human Rights Council will hold a special session on the human rights situation in and around El Fasher in Sudan's Darfur region where the Rapid Support Forces, armed by the United Arab Emirates, is committing genocide. https://t.co/OSkGeP9a12

Alarming efforts by RSF to quickly burn bodies & cover up the scale of killings in El Fasher - likely tied to the imminent truce that’s waiting SAF agreement. Grateful for incredible work being done by @nattyray11 & @HRL_YaleSPH to shed light on atrocities in El Fasher, #Sudan

Visible indicators of fire 🔥 and smoke indicate possible disposal of bodies by burning in El-Fasher, according to @HRL_YaleSPH analysis. #KeepEyesOnSudan Read the report —>

🚨ATROCITY ALERT 🚨 RSF has closed 1 of only 5 exits out of El-Fasher. @HRL_YaleSPH identifies ongoing possible body disposal activities in and around El Fasher #KeepEyesOnSudan 🛰️@Vantortech https://t.co/1HApllgfVx

We heard just now from @IRWorldwide #Sudan who fear community kitchens across the country are on the verge of collapse, after 2+ years of conflict + with food so expensive. The consequences for the millions of Sudanese facing extreme hunger could be horrendous. #KeepEyesOnSudan

A bureaucratic “disconnect” has slashed federal funding for the kidnapped Ukrainian children project, leaving it weeks from closure, the lab director tells Kyiv Post – despite high-profile White House interest. https://t.co/cUnltedeJP
