Thank you AVID for hosting us for a 'lunch & learn' session at the end of March for those interested in hearing more about #Sudan . Glad it can reach a wider audience in this way.

In all the debate on the Rwanda bill there's been less focus on how it, along with the Illegal Migration Act, shuts down the asylum system.

In new Refugee Council 🧡 analysis, we warn the system is in meltdown with more than 100k people facing being shut out by the end of the year.

RIGHT NOW.

800,000 people. 800,000 who took refuge in El Fasher, Darfur, Sudan have *no where to go*. The RSF is moving in. The same RSF that is known for committing war crimes, genocide. Experts are calling it a ‘Kill Box’.

Ya Allah. Ya Allah.

El Fasher in Sudan is under attack. 800,000 civilians in city & refugee camps. Many can’t flee. Sickening prospect of same mass atrocity & rape from Geneina. Govt must make clear we’re watching & support immediate ceasefire & accountability. All must cease supporting this horror.

The crisis in Sudan due to the generals' year-long war is an utter catastrophe. We must not avert our gaze. Today I used an urgent question in Parliament to focus the Govt's attention on the plight of the Sudanese people. #KeepEyesOnSudan youtu.be/3Fn0nYjDqqk

The attention paid to the conflict in Sudan does not match the enormity of the suffering there. As Chair @APPGAfrica, thank you, Lyn Brown 🌹, for securing this question.

I asked the Minister what the UK was doing to monitor the arms embargo and stem the flow of arms into Sudan.

One year into a devastating… there is one thing flourishing in #Sudan : mutual aid… The ERRs have been built with the same spirit and grassroots organising that toppled the regime of al-Bashir,

🚨BREAKING: This Government's cruel Rwanda Bill has just passed

They have shown complete disregard for international law and the UK Supreme Court.

It's nothing short of criminal - so we headed to Parliament to set up the crime scene

This is a huge setback for anyone who believes in the rule of law. Its implications for our constitution can’t be overstated.

But I promise you, this isn’t over yet. We are not going to abandon refugees without a fight.

Refugees welcome here always ✊🧡

🚨 BREAKING: This Government's cruel Rwanda Bill has just passed

Today will forever leave a stain on the UK’s moral reputation.

The UK has an obligation to provide safety to refugees. It's now vital that flights to Rwanda do not leave the tarmac.

🚨A sad morning. We are devastated to witness the passage of the cruel Rwanda bill by this government. By pushing forward with this legislation, this government has signed off a policy to banish and abandon people who fled to the UK, seeking to find safety here.

Glad to see Stephen Doughty MP on the front benches here as parliament discusses the urgent question on the war in #Sudan . Conversations from Cardiff constituents & beyond are being heard & relayed in Westminster. Yet action requires a quicker pace.

If we wish to see more pushes from

It has been a year since the war in Sudan began. The last 12 months have been devastating for the Sudanese, and the situation requires urgent attention from the international community.
