Experts should #talkAboutSudanBetter, to make conflict context and factors emerge fully in public discourse, as is done for Ukraine & Palestine. Just "talking about it" strengthens ideas of unexplained violence, /1
10 Apr 2024
An ongoing conflict for nearly a year has devastated #Sudan, forcing millions to flee. Approximately 8.5 million people have been displaced. In February, the UN estimated that 25 million, including 14 million children, are in desperate need of humanitarian assistance.

Bombing hospitals, schools, assistance infrastructures, groups and aid destined for civilians is a universal disgrace! Only cowards wage war like this!
YOU ARE COWARDS, NOT WARRIORS

We condemn this attack on our office, which supports emergency medical humanitarian assistance to people in the Donetsk region. We call for the protection of facilities, civilians, humanitarian aid workers, and healthcare...
