will never give up the fight for justice in Darfur. I will not stop documenting crimes and calling for an end to impunity. I will always seek to bring attention to what is happening in my region. The next generation deserves nothing less.

I have a new piece up at @newhumanitarian, on the way the state produces violence in #SouthSudan that the international community is keen to depoliticise as "inter-communal" violence. thenewhumanitarian.org/analy…

Best piece of reporting yet on the terrible cost of the war in Amhara by @MariaG_N for @newhumanitarian after the Tigray forces went on the offensive in July into the region.

"To identify bodies, the search teams weren’t taking DNA samples: Instead, they held up belts, shoes, clothes, and other items pulled from the ground in the hope that residents would recognise who they belonged to." @DFNimubona @newhumanitarian #longreads thenewhumanitarian.org/opini…

Hundreds were killed, 1000s forced to flee in western Niger. And Europe-supported strategies did little to tackle it. Our latest for @newhumanitarian, with @Moussaaksar @TomasStatius & great editing by @PKleinfeld. thenewhumanitarian.org/news-…
Goma is an aid hub but there’s been little support for Congolese displaced by Mount Nyiragongo. Read @sophie_neiman on the slow, politicised relief effort. thenewhumanitarian.org/news-… (@newhumanitarian)
