Grateful to @ayeshahazarika for inviting me on to @TimesRadio to shine a light on the devastating conflict, atrocities & famine in Sudan - grateful too for the chance to dig in to why the crisis isn’t getting the attention it deserves #KeepEyesOnSudan

Why isn't more being done to address the world's biggest protection crisis? This weekend @WordsAreDeeds joined @ayeshahazarika on @TimesRadio to discuss how colonial mindsets & the retreat of the rules-based system sees civilians paying the highest price. #KeepEyesOnSudan

So proud of our team delivering Active Bystander training to Londoners thanks to @TfL & @MayorofLondon Last year, before our training only 28% of participants knew what to do if they witnessed a hate incident - that rose to 87% after they had completed our training 🫶 #NoToHate

My @NobelPrize prediction did not pan out. But mark my words: Sudan's Emergency Response Rooms are pioneering a transformative new model that combines humanitarian response + peacebuilding. They may be the one thing that holds the Sudan together as men w/guns tear it apart.

An important offer from Sierra Leone. As states negotiate a resolution to move the CaH treaty forward, the venue of the diplomatic conference is key with Austria, New York & now Sierra Leone on the table. Shifting the venues where international law is made is vital for ownership.

Kitchens are closing as 100s are dying of hunger/disease daily. Aid agencies aren’t in the worst areas, and increased attacks could drive out local volunteers, leaving Sudan’s most vulnerable to fend for themselves. #KeepEyesOnSudan Our story here: reuters.com/world/africa/sud…
