An acknowledgement of the great contributions of the Sudanese diaspora in the UK to Britain, in particular medical professionals. Much the same could be said in 🇨🇦.

Fair enough but bland in the extreme; and btw why the hardly-used term "the #Sudan" ? mfat.govt.nz/en/media-and-r…

In #Sudan's dark tunnel, where the only light is the conscience of a 🇺🇸rapper. Plus: 🇨🇦 MIA thus far; generous humanitarian funding; a well-intentioned but botched refugee visa programme; some hope of re-engagement as a Sudan unit is staffed up in Addis. opencanada.org/sudans-civil-w…

"... it is not accurate to say that Sudan is a forgotten conflict. But this is a war that has been ignored at least by those in a position to make a major difference...."

Canada can and must do more to address the horrific war in Sudan. It can and must do more to help the people suffering from violence, famine, and who seek to flee atrocities for Canada. Excellent, urgent article from Nicholas Coghlan opencanada.org/sudans-civil-w… Open Canada

An evergreen corruption story from #SouthSudan. What's novel here is that the Minister of Transport openly admits that the $$ allocated by the African Developt Bank were stolen twice over...theradiocommunity.org/finance-minist…

#SouthSudan has had 19 years of oil revenues....and yet pleads no money to run its first-ever elections.

Timely & compelling from Nicholas Coghlan on Canada's failure, to date, to engage meaningfully in addressing the #Sudan crisis, while pointing to "some hope of more constructive and effective Canadian re-engagement on the horizon." opencanada.org/sudans-civil-w…

President Biden has issued a statement on the crisis in #Sudan and the deteriorating situation in #ElFasher: whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/…

#SouthSudan election postponement: "We wish to express our disappointment at this decision, as the timely holding of elections is a key element in strengthening stability, democracy and sustainable development. The leaders of the country own this decision."

#SouthSudan election postponement: "This extension has become necessary not because of a lack of support from the international community, nor due to lack of resources...but because of a lack of political will."

Different times (to say the least...)

#Sudan "Sanctions are also needed against those living in Western democracies who propagate hate speech and call for a continuation of the war." Here's looking at you 🇨🇦. Global Affairs Canada Foreign Policy CAN

A very small UK "junior" takes an option of buying up the #SouthSudan assets of Petronas (Malaysia), which have been on offer for 2 yrs. Is confidence by the bigger boys waning, with the only pipeline outlet - via #Sudan - now half-choked? ogj.com/general-intere…
