Today marks five years since the start of the Tigray War.
I remember as if it were yesterday. The faces of those who lost their lives remain vivid.
Still asking myself what we could have done differently.

Soudan : l’insupportable passivité internationale face à la tragédie
Alors que que la prise de la ville d’El-Fasher par les paramilitaires, dans la région du Darfour, constitue une nouvelle escalade dans la guerre fratricide qui ravage le pays, aucune des grandes puissances qui se disent officiellement préoccupées par le sort des Soudanais n’a jamais demandé le moindre compte à ceux qui entretiennent le chaos.

Grave fears for civilians after Sudanese paramilitary claims capture of El Fasher
RSF says it has seized control of army’s main base in Darfur, home to famine-stricken displacement camp
Fears are growing for hundreds of thousands of civilians trapped in El Fasher after the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces said it had captured the city, which it has been besieging for more than a year in Sudan’s civil war.
The group said on Sunday that it had seized control of the army’s main base in the city in Darfur, where famine was declared in a displacement camp last year. It then released a statement saying it had “extended control over the city of El Fasher from the grip of mercenaries and militias”. Continue reading...

In 2024, the IOM tracked 446,000 people leaving the Horn of Africa via the “Eastern route”, crossing into Yemen to reach the Arabian Gulf. Ninety-six percent were Ethiopian, and a third of those were Tigrayan – although Tigrayans make up only 6% of Ethiopia’s population.

Burundi geeft de landendirecteur van het Belgische ontwikkelingsagentschap Enabel 48 uur de tijd om het land te verlaten. De reden: de directeur deelde een nieuwsartikel over brandstoftekorten via sociale media. Belgisch buitenlandminister Prévot noemt het een “disproportionele maatregel”.
