Great to host once again @SentinelProject to discuss @hagigawahid, an initiative which combats the spread of mis/disinformation, hate speech and harmful rumours. Just one of the many ways Canada’s #PSOPs is supporting peace and stability in #SouthSudan and beyond.

"We are very worried about the battle that is already starting in El Fasher in Northern Darfur. We believe that there are hundreds of thousands of civilians in that area that will be under threat in the event of a full-blown battle."
