Sudanese search and rescue team in Turkey

It was a pleasure being back to a much changed Addis Ababa & the African Union to feedback on lessons we learned in the UNSC. A special thank you to Jean Kamau and Kenya Embassy Addis 🇰🇪🇪🇹 for organising the event which I hope becomes a tradition for all A3 members. A wonky thread:

Save the Children In Sudan EU Humanitarian Aid | Central East Southern Africa This is a heartwarming story, proving that we must not stop trying. I met Mariam when I visited Geneina in November. She did not ask for much. Her mother insisted that we heard her story. Thanks to Save the Children In Sudan & EU Humanitarian Aid | Central East Southern Africa for following up. Best wishes to Mariam & family!

Troika and European Union Envoys Statement on Heightened Tensions in Sudan

Today marks 5 mts since fighting broke out. The overwhelming tragedy continues. Urgent tasks remain the same: end war, meet humanitarian needs & start broad based political process. The people will suffer more & longer if Sudan’s integrity is endangered by rash action/s.

CPA was signed 20 years ago today. A momentous event. It ended an entrenched war but did not bring lasting peace, neither to Sudan nor South Sudan. Why? Maybe problem was not the agreement but lack of implementation. Peace is not words on paper but political practice – always.

Horrific images coming from the battlefields in Sudan. Again, civilian population is targeted & suffering beyond belief. These blatant violations of IHL – and principles of law and order - cannot be tolerated. Authorities must step in. Impunity will lead to more revenge attacks.
