Last week with support from Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office UK au Mali 🇬🇧🇲🇱 , NRC Central and West Africa achieved a 2 weeks training of trainers on humanitarian negotiations for humanitarian workers in BF, Mali & Niger. Now we have 20 trainers ready to roll out the training! OCHA Mali OCHA Burkina OCHA NIGER

Today, I was with Norwegian Refugee Council in Kanaruchinya, a few kms from Goma, DRC. Almost a million IDPs have recently arrived because of the escalation in the conflict. They are hungry & don't have water. We urgently need increased funding and diplomatic efforts to push for a cease fire.

ANNOUNCEMENT: After 5 years with Norwegian Refugee Council, I am stepping down as Regional Media Adviser for Central & W Africa. I invite communicators with a strategic vision, a journalistic mindset & a strong ambition to drive change through advocacy to apply here: ekum.fa.em2.oraclecloud.com/hcmUI/Candidat…

Listen to our colleague Jacques on the increasingly dire situation for displaced people in #BurkinaFaso.

Le #BurkinaFaso est la crise la plus négligée au monde en 2022 selon @nrc_norway. Thread 1/6 A voir et lire l’histoire d’Aïssatou*, quatre fois déplacée en quatre ans. *prénom modifié

Appalled by the news of the attack on a displacement camp in Ituri, #DRC, resulting in 45 deaths, including 23 children. Those responsible for this unspeakable atrocity should be brought to justice, and all civilians should be protected – they are #NotATarget!

3.2 millions people are in urgent need of humanitarian aid to save lives and protect livelihoods in #Cameroon: Food insecurity is highest in the conflict affected regions. There is urgent need for increased and sustained political and budgetary commitments from decision-makers.

ACLED data indicate that incidents of violence targeting civilians perpetrated by IS Sahel in #Niger quadrupled in August relative to July. acleddata.com/2023/09/08/reg…

In Ituri, an epicentre of the forgotten and neglected crisis in Eastern DR Congo, 3000 students need to share 12 classrooms. It is four times the number of pupils some months back. We must not continue the neglect of millions of children in the cataclysmic violence of the DRC.

Meet Lambert Kegde, a community teacher in CAR. In #CAR, 8 in 10 teachers are "maîtres-parents". The lack of qualified teachers has a terrible effect on education, with only 6 in 100 pupils graduate from secondary school. #WorldTeachersDay nrc.no/perspectives/2…

New figures show record numbers of internally displaced people in DR Congo. Across the country, 6.9 million people are displaced, making this the world’s second largest displacement crisis. 1/4

#DRCongo #NorthKivu As fighting puts Goma at risk of lockdown, NRC urges all parties involved to prioritise the protection of civilians and facilitate unhindered access for humanitarian organisations. Read more > nrc.no/news/2024/febr…

A leaked briefing to next EU Commissioner for development says EU aid should be a transactional tool for EU interests rather than meet the needs of victims of poverty, war, disasters & neglect. If EU wants to stand for human rights & “European civilisation” this must be rejected.

Proud of my NRC colleagues in Dori, Sahel region, northern Burkina Faso. We can only access Dori thanks to the essential @UNHAS helicopters. The roads to Dori are too dangerous due to rampant armed violence. Aid work is difficult, dangerous, expensive, but possible & so needed.

We were pleased to host Angelina Jolie in Chad. Support for those fleeing Sudan’s brutal conflict must be greatly increased. time.com/7034724/angeli…

In October, more than 70,000 Sudanese fleeing violence in western Darfur sought refuge in the Wadi Fira region of Chad through the Birak, Koulbous and Tiné entry points. 19,000 people have arrived in the last few days alone. (1/4)

These families, mostly women and children, arrived in Chad completely destitute, in a desert area near the border. Initial assessments highlight a lack of health, water, food, shelter and protection. (2/4)

As humanitarian needs are significantly scaling up in the Wadi Fira region, NRC will join a multi-organisation assessment. We are mobilised to provide life-saving assistance and support refugees. (3/4)

Since 25 Jan, conflict in eastern DR #Congo has displaced thousands. Goma, Nyiragongo, and Saké are in crisis, with services suspended and humanitarian workers response on-site is very limited. Immediate action is crucial to prevent a catastrophe.
