The security & humanitarian situation has dramatically deteriorated in several parts of #Sudan over the past 9 days, most notably in #Darfur.
Unclear where the 2M reportedly reached with aid during the "ceasefire" are, but the situation for many Sudanese has worsened, and INGOs still face serious obstacles moving aid into the worst affected areas.

13 babies died in an orphanage in #Sudan's capital city on Friday. The death toll in Khartoum, Geneina, El Obeid, El Fashir, and other parts of the country has risen while the "ceasefire" was being "imperfectly observed" by the SAF & RSF.

A 🧵 with some thoughts on #Sudan & how we got here:
Many rightly blame Bashir for creating Himedti & his militia as well as Burhan as Islamist SAF officer. No excuses for Bashir - but who created him? I first came to #Khartoum in 1997 & NOBODY took him seriously then. 1/10

Of course, it was Turabi who ruled #Sudan back then rather than Bashir & had planned for it strategically for decades. So who paved the way for the Sheikh? Yes, Nimeiri elevated him since late '70s with Saudi support, but before it was: Sadiq al Mahdi & his UMMA. 2/10
As I raged in my Twitter obituary for His Royal Holiness, never forget: it was Sadiq's UMMA who pushed for an Islamist constitution in the late 1960s. He ignored the Supreme Court ruling to reverse his ban of #Sudan's Communist Party & thus undermined the judiciary. 3/10
In #Sudan l'esercito sta recuperando posizioni, ma la situazione è molto fluida e le prospettive sono incerte. Non è da escludersi uno scenario di guerra civile con il Paese diviso in zone occupate anche da altri gruppi ribelli 🧵
Nell'immediato le truppe di #alBurhan sono state sorprese.
Le #RSF sono strutturate per colpire più velocemente. Sono equipaggiate mediamente meglio, hanno esperienze anche in Libia e nella regione del Lago Ciad. #Hemetti poi ha una fitta rete di contatti e roccaforti sparse.

Per di più in questo periodo l'esercito sudanese era in attesa di comprendere gli indirizzi per l'eventuale riorganizzazione dopo gli accordi del dicembre 2022 tra al-Burhan e le opposizioni, uno dei motivi della contesa con Hemetti.
#Sudan 🇸🇩: residents of #Khartoum woke up this morning to the sound of gunfire and plumes of smoke rising into the air as clashes appear to have erupted in the capital city.
These armed confrontations follow weeks of rising tensions between the SAF and RSF military factions.

#Sudan 🇸🇩: many Sudanese see loyalists of the former #Bashir regime as being behind the recent tensions, sowing chaos as a way to derail any transition process and attempt a possible return to power dabangasudan.org/en/all-news/ar…

#Sudan 🇸🇩: a deal has been reached in order to end the #SudanCoup which has been going on for over a year now.
Both the #FFC and the military have agreed to a 24-month transition, under the leadership of a civilian PM, with elections at the end.
But there's a but 👇

But there's a but 👇
#Sudan 🇸🇩: just as with the previous transition deal there is very little that holds either #Burhan or #Hemedti to honor their promises, meaning the country is and remains very vulnerable to another #SudanCoup at any moment.
There is also no mention of any reform of the military
There is also no mention of any reform of the military
#Sudan 🇸🇩: the Resistance committees, which were the backbone of the December Revolution have already voiced their opposition to the deal since it doesn't include any framework to bring justice to the 110+ protesters who were killed since the #SudanCoup.
This🧵on April-May incidents in #Darfur has become too lengthy. I’m starting a new one!
Sadly, since I started the first thread, incidents with deadly outcome occurred almost every day!
I hope by some miracle, this will be the last.

@RadioDabanga report:
Translation of the report below:
#Darfur
Thousands of Sudanese refugees who fled to eastern #Chad from Jebel Moon in West #Darfur state as a result of armed attacks on their villages, are calling for urgent humanitarian intervention to save their lives.
Translation of the report below:
#Darfur
Thousands of Sudanese refugees who fled to eastern #Chad from Jebel Moon in West #Darfur state as a result of armed attacks on their villages, are calling for urgent humanitarian intervention to save their lives.
One of the refugees told Radio Dabanga that they lost all their property after armed men burned their villages, looted their properties and destroyed their farms.
He explained that they are now without shelter, food or even cover, especially with the severe cold waves these days.
We are still so focused on crimes in Khartoum and this (useless) agreement that crimes in Darfur are going unnoticed.These people’s homes were burnt to ashes. At least 21 lives were lost.
This should have been the news headline not the agreement.

The details show that the two incidents were perpetrated by “armed groups.” Given yesterday’s agreement, we can expect a surge in armed group attacks because the junta are now fully in control. #Darfur #الردة_مستحيلة
The agreement allows the junta to ‘review/audit’ the work of the
anti-corruption/NCP dismantlement committee, which was working to uncover the junta’s ‘hidden’ sources of money. The assets were to be restored to the central bank to be used by the civilian arm of gov.#Darfur

(THREAD) The recent cycle of violence in Darfur illustrates what IDPs and rights groups warned against. My take on the events @hrw hrw.org/news/2021/01/2…
1/The UN moved forward with terminating the peacekeeping mission UNAMID end of 2020, despite mounting evidence on the uptick in intercommunal violence since last years: reports.unocha.org/en/country/sud…
2/Before the end of 2020, IDPs in Darfur protested against UNAMID's departure, demanded their voices to be heard. Neither Sudan or #UNSC listened. Sudan failed the test of their own pledge and Darfuris continued to pay the price. hrw.org/news/2021/01/0….
#Sudan 🇸🇩 BREAKING: after 17 years of brutal war, famine, and genocide the Sudanese government and the #SRF rebels have signed a peace accord for the region of #Darfur.
Congratulations to the Sudanese people for achieving this massive step towards peace aje.io/nz66l

#Sudan 🇸🇩: although this agreement is a major step towards peace the war in #Darfur is not over yet. The smaller rebel splinter group SLA-AW is still in separate negotiations with the government and inter-communal violence remains one of the main causes of deaths
#Sudan 🇸🇩: another major step in the peace process. #SPLMN leader Abdalaziz Al-Hilu and PM @SudanPMHamdok have signed a joint declaration, agreeing on the principles of democracy, secularism and decentralization

Thread👇- Excited to publish this latest collaboration between @amnesty and @elementai - Using artificial intelligence to scale up human rights research: a case study on Darfur w/ @alkalait and @BuffyPrice citizenevidence.org/2020/07/06/usi…
This work builds on early research by @JCornebise and @deworrall92 who in 2017 built a machine learning model which automatically detected “human presence,” as well as “destroyed” and “partially destroyed” villages in Darfur, Sudan.

This research was possible thanks to thousands of digital volunteers who joined #AmnestyDecoders projects Decode Darfur and Decode the Difference, generating 13 million annotations of satellite images, covering 2.6 million satellite tiles.

(1/10) This is a report card on #Eritrea Prez Isaias Afwerki considered by himself & NNNN as a political architect of the Horn of Africa. From #Somalia, #Sudan, #SouthSudan, #Djibouti, to #Ethiopia, he has wasted #Eritrean treasury grooming satellite orgs. All for nothing.
(2/10) #SouthSudan: The #SPLA had members who were for secession & members for reforming Sudan and remaining part of it. Despite Isaias Afwerki's cries, the secessionist won and they proved it in a referendum where 99% voted for independence. Isaias didn't attend the ceremony.
#Sudan 🇸🇩 BREAKING: the Sudanese transitional government has announced it will hand over Omar al-Bashir to the ICC, on the charges of war crimes & crimes against humanity in #Darfur
Today is a great day for all victims of the #Bashir regime.

-the countless who were killed & attacked with chemical weapons in Darfur
-the Nuba children, targeted every day by antonovs
-the brave protesters gunned down in the streets

This could be huge! Victims have been waiting for justice for widespread atrocities committed in #Darfur for 15+ years. Keen to have more details on plans for #Bashir to at last face the #ICC charges against him. Some further info on case at @hrw: hrw.org/news/2019/05/0…
@hrw I first began working on the campaign to see perpetrators of widespread crimes in #Darfur held to account in 2004 as @HRW continued to document the extreme brutality against civilians: hrw.org/news/2004/09/2…
@hrw It was time when the prospect of the #UNSC coming together to ensure justice for the gravest crimes at the #ICC was more on the table than in recent years. (see: hrw.org/news/2014/05/2…). But given the #US anti-ICC position, it was far from a foregone conclusion.
