The West And Its Media Are Complicit In Sudan’s Crisis

November 4, 2024 The Canary. , , , ,
Youth-led grassroots organisations London for Sudan, Cardiff For Sudan, Manchester For Sudan, and Madaniya are organising a nationwide demonstration in London, Cardiff, and Manchester to demand accountability for the devastating war on civilians in Sudan. Titled “Hands Off Sudan: End Western Complicity and Inaction,” this protest is a direct response to the silence surrounding one of the most gravest humanitarian crises of our time. The mobilisation aims to pressure the UK government to take accountability for its role in prolonging the conflict and to call out other international players, including the US, for their involvement in the atrocities.

The Caravan for Life, Peace and Permanence in the Territory is an act of solidarity with the people living in the regions most affected by violence in Colombia. It is made up of multiple national and international social organizations that, from July 23 to August 23, will travel through five regions of the South American country (Antioquia, Sur de Bolívar, Arauca, Chocó, Cauca and Valle del Cauca), in order to record denunciations associated with the violation of Human Rights, International Humanitarian Law, as well as the alternatives that the population is building to live in dignity. Currently, caravan members are in the south of Bolivar, a region that for three years has been experiencing a humanitarian crisis due to the presence of paramilitarism.

Political Deadlock Continues In Efforts To Open Peace Talks In Sudan

A United Nations Security Council resolution was passed on June 13 calling for an end to the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) siege upon the North Darfur capital city of El Fasher in Sudan. In a 14-0 vote with the Russian Federation abstaining, the highest decision-making structure of the international body demanded the end to the fighting in one of the most restive areas inside the country. The resolution was sponsored by United Kingdom (UK) Ambassador Barbara Woodward who pointed to the worsening humanitarian crisis in the area. Civilians are being prevented from moving freely in and out of El Fasher while essential infrastructure such as hospitals are being shelled by the RSF.

Congolese Journalist: It’s Time To Stop Negotiating With Rwanda

February 25, 2024 Ann Garrison, Black Agenda Report. , , , ,
Rwanda’s M23 militia and Rwandan Special Forces have been advancing on Goma, the capital city of North Kivu Province in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). I had a Zoom conversation with Congolese journalist Akilimali Chomachoma, who is based in Goma. Ann Garrison: Akilimali, do you feel safe talking about the security situation there in the northeastern DRC? Akilimali Chomachoma: I'm not feeling safe as a journalist, but as a journalist, I have the duty to tell what is going on here. I have the duty to give testimony, I have the duty to give voice to all people who are suffering, to tell what actors here locally are doing.
