Met local leaders in Tawila and Tasis representatives in Korma to insist on safe access and protection of civilians.

We will go anywhere and talk to anyone to get access to those in need, guided by principles of neutrality, impartiality, humanity, independence.

Hij houdt zich al bijna veertig jaar bezig met hongersnood, maar de tragedie die zich vandaag dreigt af te spelen in Soedan is zelfs voor Hoorn van Afrika-expert Alex De Waal ongezien. Zijn gortdroge slotsom: ‘Deze ramp is het gevolg van een politieke keuze.’

Almost seven months of war between Sudan’s military and a powerful paramilitary group have left a wave of destruction with over half the population in need of humanitarian aid and raised fears of a repeat of the deadly ethnic conflict in Darfur 20 years ago.
