Kenya is concerned about the developing crisis in Sudan. I implore all parties to address any differences through peaceful means for the sake of the security of the people of Sudan and stability in the country and the region, especially during this Holy month of Ramadan.

Millions trapped in their homes. Bodies litter the streets. The health sector is crumbling. It's the speed of the collapse of Khartoum, Sudan's war-torn capital, that's so dizzying, even by the standards of modern warfare. Hard to believe it was a normal city just last Friday.

Mass exodus out of Khartoum 2 area. Fam in dilemma of how to leave n leaving behind foreign neighbours who have been instructed stay in place by their respective embassies. K2 becoming a ghost town w/ heavy RSF presence. Wondering if SAF will increase its bombing in the area

the basic yet painfully astute observation. “German Foreign Affairs: #Sudan’s generals are fighting over power rather than handing it over to a civilian government”

An excellent read on what’s happening in #Sudan theguardian.com/world/2023/apr…

I wasn’t born yesterday and I still CANNOT get over the absolutely pathetic TV coverage of the Sudan crisis. Near 100% focused on the evacuation of Westerners. BBC minutes ago: “The biggest question tonight is how to get them out.” The biggest question!?!

Ppl on Twitter literally doing the work of UNHCR. What do you mean regular ppl arranging for accommodation at an INTERNATIONAL border, arranging for healthcare when ppl DISPLACED BY WAR cross a border, warning ppl to bring enough FOOD+WATER because none is available? UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency

After getting evacuated, western officials -- and capitals -- appear to be abandoning civilians in a war between two men that the west has backed and legitimized for years. Now the west isn't even prioritizing aid into #Sudan My latest for Al Jazeera English aljazeera.com/news/2023/4/26…

Western diplomats (and their governments) left hundreds -- maybe 1000s -- of Sudanese visa applicants stranded in a warzone without a passport. Human rights lawyers say that these countries may be liable. My latest for Al Jazeera English with Arwa Ibrahim #Sudan aljazeera.com/news/2023/4/29…

‘Ferguson argues that the UK government could have done more to focus on atrocity prevention and conduct better risk assessment.’ She sure does. #KeepEyesOnSudan #KeepEyesOnSudan Cc Maddy Crowther Waging Peace 🧡 Protection Approaches Alicia Kearns MP Foreign Affairs Committee

There is an epidemic of violence against women and girls in our country, with a man killing a woman every three days on average in the UK. We need to address this scourge as a matter of urgency. 1/11

An excellent video on climate activism to stimulate conversations on the different approaches to a global crisis

On #Newsday, we're focusing on the war in #Sudan, which broke out a year ago today. We'll hear from people fleeing the conflict, and ask leading analysts how the war could end. On BBC World Service on your 📻 with Victoria Uwonkunda + me for the next 3 hours.

A lot of success can be boiled down to one simple rule: Do what you say you’re going to do.

BREAKING: Kenyan President William Ruto fires his entire cabinet after weeks of protests. Only the deputy president and Prime Cabinet Secretary remain. Decision taken after "reflection, listening to Kenyans, and after holistic appraisal of my cabinet," he says

A thread:-

The war in Sudan has received a fraction of the attention given to Gaza and Ukraine. Yet it threatens to be deadlier than either conflict. It is possible to save millions of lives, if the world acts now econ.st/3AFKbcJ

Even as a politics lecturer in a Middle East department, I am lost. Israel has a right to self defence, but Lebanon does not? Israelis have the right to be safe, but Palestinians do not? Iran can’t launch missiles into civilian areas, but Israel can? None of this is coherent.

This year’s chemistry laureate Omar Yaghi was born in Amman, Jordan, in 1965 to parents who were refugees from Palestine. When we spoke to him he shared his story: “I grew up in a very humble home, we were a dozen of us in one room, sharing it with the cattle that we used to
