Country Director of #PlanInternational in Sudan. Working for a just world advancing children's rights and equality for girls
Sudan
Joined February 2020
Today's nationwide protests fly in the face of several narratives I hear from Khartoum-based diplomats, business elites and government officials about the protest movement in #Sudan: 1. The numbers of protesters just are not that big; people just want to get back to "normal"...

Unacceptable violation of human rights #Sudan
27 women in detention and over 200 men. Lawyers were prevented from releasing them on bail due to security orders. Many of the detainees are injured and were tortured, according to members of the Emergency Lawyers and other human rights defenders monitoring abuses. #Sudan

#SudanCoup leaders have cut all comms, hoping to silence #VoicesOfSudan. The world cannot allow that to happen. Too many have already sacrificed too much. "Her loss is so tough on me," Mother of Sit-alNfor shot dead by #SudanCoup forces https://t.co/Fl8hR33XSL

Heartbreaking reality in #Sudan
A 15-year-old child was just killed in anti-coup protests. Despite what some western officials insinuate (but not always admit), the pro-docracy movement isn't an obstacle to democracy in @Sudan. Only the junta is. They would rather kill their children than dilute power.

#Sudan desperately needs peace and prosperity. Loss of life and use of force against civilians is unacceptable #السوران
Whats so lovely about these protests is the prominence of the Sudanese🇸🇩 flag. In a country where the military=state, protests against the military are viewed by the military as treasonous and unpatriotic. When the military fires on people, they see it as in defense of the state.

#hungercrisis #appeal - devastating conditions for #children, especially girls, and #women who always bear the brunt of crises disproportionately. #ActNow #savelives @PlanGlobal @PlanMEESA @PlanWACA
The world is in the grip of the most devastating #HungerCrisis ever seen. It’s getting worse by the day and children, especially girls, are suffering the most. Act now, save lives. https://t.co/Nzb6Ie79yO

#reproductivehealth #rights are #WomensRights & therefore #HumanRights - #AbortionIsHealthcare @omollosgr @PlanGlobal @PlanUSA
Every girl and woman has the right to freely make decisions about her body and life, yet once again we see patriarchal politics at play. Read more on how the US Supreme Court's ruling will have devastating consequences for girls and women, in all their diversity 👇🏿

For 8 mths, Sudanese protesters have defied repression at great personal cost. The international response has been wanting. @hrw stands in solidarity with all those facing ongoing attacks on their basic rights. Their voices must be heard. https://t.co/Fl8hR33XSL

An unaccompanied 16-year-old Eritrean boy turned up at our youth club this week, just after opening, with some others. He was a new face so I asked him how long he'd been in the UK and he said: "today". I said: "what do you mean 'today'?" He said: "I arrived, just today". 🧵

Famine in Aug/Sept now almost certain due to #SudanCoup regime failures and: 1) failed harvests 2) insufficient forex to import 3) invasion of Ukraine raising global wheat prices 4) hoarding by wealthy countries 5) no US wheat per Abraham Accords #Sudan

Government is unable to pay promised rates for the grain, while market rates barely cover cost of production

Harmful practices rob children especially the girl child of their childhood, deny them the chance to determine their future and threaten their well-being. It is important to emphasise the need for children especially girls to access #education and end child marriages. #DAC2022

Credible reports reaching @UNHCRinSudan indicate horrific casualty rates in #Kulbus, W #Darfur, after a land dispute escalated into an attack by militias on multiple villages. Nearly 100 killed, & thousands displaced across neighboring localities. There is… 1/3 #Sudan

Are you aware of the importance of play to your child? Play allows a child to use their creativity & facilitates the dev't of their imagination, physical,cognitive & emotional strength. It's through play that a child learns to interact with others around them. #Playmatters

Say what you will about @UNITAMS failings (and I have) they are bringing a transparency to their work which sets an important example that will hopefully hold long after it is gone.
SRSG @volkerperthes held a meeting this afternoon with Mr. Mini Arko Minawi Regional Governor of Darfur, and the Walis of the region. Meeting discussed situation in Sudan as well as security arrangements and protection of civilians in Darfur.

Acute escalation of repression by #SudanCoup forces today, possibly due to public ridicule of yesterday's AU-UN-IGAD meetings in which only putschists took part. Regime says it wants hold outs to join, while creating conditions that make that impossible. Standard. #مليونية9يونيو
#Khartoum:Military forces fire live bullets at the protesters in Sharwani station. #Sudan

🇸🇪 Minister for Foreign Affairs offers her condolences to the families of those killed in #Sudan. The number of 100 was reached yesterday in Khartoum, it is higher across the country - and more violence in West Darfur and South Kordofan today.
Deeply concerned as 100 civilians have been killed since the military coup in #Sudan. My condolences to the families of the victims. The military must do more to stop the violence and create a conducive environment for necessary dialogue. We stand firmly behind the people of 🇸🇩
