“The only thing worse than the lack of international attention on #Sudan’s atrocities right now is the lack of justice for them. But the two things are deeply interconnected.” Read Andrew Stroehlein’s Daily Brief: trib.al/PaV2tOW

The editorial calls for a flood of aid, including cash to support grassroots groups like the Emergency Response Rooms, plus sanctions on actors in the -- above all -- the UAE who are fuelling the conflict: economist.com/leaders/2024/0…

In #Sudan, “the perpetrators of war crimes like torture are so sure they are going to get away with their crimes, they film themselves doing it.” 🔊 Listen to Andrew Stroehlein’s Daily Brief: trib.al/dyBAuxk

Ahead of the Universal Periodic Review of 🇪🇹 #Ethiopia, see our joint recommendations towards a victim-centered, bottom-up approach to accountability and transitional justice for ongoing and past atrocity crimes in #Tigray, #Amhara and #Oromia: globalr2p.org/publications/j…

🚨 🚨 NEW EL FASHER UPDATE Humanitarian Research Lab (HRL) at YSPH : 1) Bombardment of two hospitals + humanitarian warehouse confirmed; 2) major defensive fortifications being built dividing city in half as SAF area shrinks; and 3) RSF has deployed truck mounted rocket launchers medicine.yale.edu/lab/khoshnood/…

1/Following 2019 revolution, Hemedti desperately portrayed himself as the saviour and protector of Darfur. What happened in the next years and months was his forces and allied militias attacking displaced communities incl. in West Darfur. At the time, the world went silent.

2/And that silence allowed lives to be lost, more cycles of violence renewed. Our research into events in El Geneina last year captured the dynamic of RSF attacks but also global failure on civilian protection, allowing RSF crimes to go unpunished hrw.org/report/2024/05…

3/Protecting civilians is an obligation, not a political score. At the same time, protecting civilians cannot be entrusted to the hands that are responsible of the misery, suffering and destruction. Abusive leaders should not be allowed to bluff and whitewash their crimes.

Most of the people who tragically died crossing the English channel a few days ago were from #Eritrea. I talked to BBC News Africa about the conditions in the country that has forced countless Eritreans to flee since the dictatorship was established in 2001.

After ignoring multiple court orders calling for their release, Ethiopian authorities finally free 7 Oromo opposition figures who were unjustly held without charge for the last four years. hrw.org/news/2023/07/2…
