UN declaration on El Fasher atrocities ‘ridiculous: World knew how it would end, didn’t do anything’

Nadia Massih is pleased to welcome Renaud Douci, Field Coordinator for Solidarité Internationale in Tawila in Sudan, on the edges of Al-Fasher. It was “impossible to reach” during the brutal 500-day siege. Mr. Douci argues that Al-Fasher was not an unforeseen tragedy. “Everybody knew” the siege would end this way, and yet meaningful protection and access never arrived. Here, in Tawila, nearly a million are displaced, we see firsthand how war turns infrastructure into a weapon. The same dynamics of siege, displacement, and abuse are now moving into Kordofan.Original Article
