🚨REPORT🚨 RSF is intentionally targeting civilians in El-Fasher + their last refuges. Yale HRL identifies 6 impacts at Dar Al-Arqam Shelter + damage to Abu Shouk Old Mosque Shelter visible in satellite imagery. 🛰️@Planet @vantortech #KeepEyesOnSudan https://t.co/1HApllgfVx

As the U.S. retreats from its global human rights role, Africa has a historic opportunity to lead — grounded in Ubuntu, accountability, and collective action. My new piece:

#BurkinaFaso: Aid Workers Detained. “The charges against INSO workers misrepresent the group’s crucial work allowing humanitarian organizations to operate safely. Targeting aid workers risks hindering the delivery of aid to ppl desperately in need.” https://t.co/tpMvXbPh8P

🚨 It wasn’t exactly a nail-biter. In a non-competitive vote, UN General Assembly elected serial rights abusers #Egypt & #Vietnam to @UN_HRC. Thanks to the lack of a veto, the HRC does some good work. But time to stop handing HRC seats to abusive govts on a silver platter. @hrw

Human rights groups tell @Microsoft to suspend business activities that are contributing to Israeli govt's severe repression, war crimes, crimes against humanity—including apartheid & extermination—& acts of genocide against Palestinians. New from @hrw

So on the same day the RSF bombs another mosque in El Fasher, it also directly strikes one of the few remaining hospitals in north Darfur, killing another 8 civilians in the maternity ward. Their second attack on a hospital in 2 days. No words.

While we at @hrw cannot accept @azizansari's generous offer to donate his performance fees to our org, it is not too late for him to call for the release of detained Saudi activists like Manahel al Otaibi and Waleed Abu al Khair #FreeWaleed #FreeManahel @Variety

A Tunisian court sentenced a man to death last week for peaceful Facebook posts. He received a presidential pardon this week following widespread outrage, but this is an unprecedented sentence for nonviolent expression in Tunisia.

@hrw The United States should also publish the evidence on which it based its sanctions against al-Burhan. @hrw

All state parties to the Chemical Weapons Convention should support a transparent investigation by the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons of the allegations of the use of chemical weapons by Sudan’s military. @hrw

A new investigation by France 24, a French broadcaster, provides the first public elements to corroborate the US allegations indicating that Sudan’s military may have used chlorine in two incidents in September 2024. @hrw https://t.co/6AiO9tItkG

Congratulations to Emergency Response Rooms! They received the 2025 @RightLivelihood Award for building a resilient model of mutual aid in Sudan — sustaining millions and restoring dignity amid the world's largest humanitarian crisis! 👉 https://t.co/JxLoihy6xM

HRW: Comedians performing at the Riyadh Comedy Festival did not use their public platform to urge Saudi authorities to free unjustly detained Saudi dissidents, journalists, and human rights activists.

#ICC convicts former Janjaweed militia leader for war crimes and crimes against humanity in #Darfur in early 2000s. As conflict in #Sudan produces new generation of victims, verdict should spur action by govt's to advance more justice, at ICC + beyond. https://t.co/xI91pKzC7j

Landmark #ICC conviction in #Darfur case is first measure of justice for victims and survivors before the court. With rampant impunity fueling new atrocities across Sudan, the international community should act to secure more justice, at ICC & beyond. https://t.co/VlwYkC39CU

As #ICC issues historic conviction in #Darfur case for crimes in 2003-4, @hrw @jbgallopin breaks down why this matters and what needs to be done so that victims of crimes being committed today across #Sudan are not left waiting decades for justice.

#ICC’s landmark conviction for serious crimes in #Darfur provides first opportunity for victims terrorized by Janjaweed to see a measure of justice before the court. Verdict should spur governments to advance justice by all possible means for ongoing crimes in #Sudan.

🚨Judges of the International Criminal Court (@IntlCrimCourt) in The Hague have just convicted Ali Muhammad Ali Abd-Al-Rahman (also known as Ali Kosheib) for war crimes and crimes against humanity in Sudan’s Darfur region.

"With the current conflict in Sudan producing new generations of victims and compounding the suffering of those targeted in the past, the verdict should spur action by governments to advance justice by all possible means.” #JusticeMatters

🚨BREAKING Sudan news via @liz_evenson /@hrw: “The ICC’s long-awaited landmark conviction for serious crimes in Darfur provides the first opportunity for victims and communities terrorized by the Janjaweed to see a measure of justice before the court."
