I didn't think I'd be shocked at the story but I was. What Hala points to here is what I tried to point out with the Mama Kouki article a while back - displacement is changing the gender dynamics of Sudani families but often at the expense of women.

In this bold piece, Hala Mousa reflects on a recent infuriating message from a close male relative – an exchange she believes fundamentally changed how she sees Sudanese men in the wake of the war.

A very sad day. He was a role model for me when working in #SouthSudan. A great human being, a brilliant mind and a super person to spend time with. He impersonated what the UN should be.

SABC News has reliably been informed that South African diplomat and veteran senior U.N. official Nicholas "Fink" Haysom has died. Haysom served as President Nelson Mandela's Chief Legal advisor from 1994-1999 and later served in various senior roles at the U.N. including his latest as the SGs Special Representative to South Sudan. He also served in the U.N. Mission in Iraq, as SRSG in Afghanistan and Somalia in a long and storied career. Haysom was 73. We are awaiting an official statement from the U.N. #sabcnews

I’m horrified by #SouthSudan violations – civilians are being brutally killed, injured, & displaced daily across the country. Some of these acts may constitute war crimes. The attention of the international community to bring an end to the surging violence is urgently needed.

South Sudan: @volker_turk urges immediate ceasefire, horrified by growing accounts of serious violations including killings of civilians, destruction and poisoning of key water sources, and fresh waves of mass displacement. ohchr.org/en/press-relea…

BREAKING: SCOTUS affirms "substantial evidence" standard of review is the proper standard for review of persecution determinations in asylum claims in Urias-Orellana (9-0) by Jackson.
It is a maddening decision that makes the “mixed fact & law” issue in immigration law practice the ultimate wacka-a-mole. If you're trying to figure out what is the bottom line on this issue and to square today's decision, Wilkinson v. Garland, and Guerrero-Lasprilla v. Barr ... well good luck.

Noteworthy to recall that UN Security Council Resolution 2417 (2018) on the Protection of Civilians in armed conflict, condemns the weaponisation of hunger. @SCRtweets @RichardGowan1

As of 20 Feb, @IOM_EHSA Displacement Tracking Mechanism (DTM) verified 225,156 displaced people in Jonglei State, up from 186,596 recorded on 4 Feb.
3 aid workers were killed between 7 and 16 Feb in Jonglei and Upper Nile states +13 health facilities reportedly damaged / looted

Alarming to see food used as a weapon of war in #Jonglei #SouthSudan where large numbers of ppl face severe food gaps & v.high acute malnutrition. Classified under IPC Phase4 (Emergency). 3 Counties under IPC Phase 5 (Extremely Critical) for malnutrition (most severe)@theIPCinfo

🇸🇸 More than a dozen civilians were killed in South Sudan’s Jonglei state after fighters allied to the government allegedly lured villagers from their homes with promises of food aid, survivors told the AP. Witnesses said dozens of gunmen arrived in trucks, announced an aid registration over loudspeakers, gathered residents in a cattle hut in Pankor, bound several men’s hands, and opened fire, killing up to 22 people, including women and children. Ayod County’s government-appointed commissioner blamed Agwelek militia fighters, said some had been arrested and disarmed, and disputed that victims were tricked with aid. Full report from AP is linked in reply.

@ochieng_ogutu Worthwhile to recall that #Somalia's 2026 HNRP which seeks to support ~4.8 million people in need of humanitarian assistance due to acute food insecurity, GBV, forced evictions, conflict & climate-induced shocks is only 12% funded.

@migrationke It's already a theatre of war. So many non state elements operating in the region and causing mass displacement of populations. For Somalia, I wonder whether that should be a top priority given the internal challenges it's experiencing.

Is the East & Horn of Africa which already hosts ~4.5 million refugees in an arms race amidst potential new conflicts?

Somalia is reportedly advancing talks to acquire up to 24 JF-17 Thunder Block III fighter jets from Pakistan in a deal valued at approximately $900 million. The package includes training, weapons integration, and long-term maintenance support. Source: Somalia Today

#Refugees are already the most heavily vetted #immigrants in the US system. BEFORE arrival, they undergo:
-Interviews by multiple federal agencies
-Biometric screening
-Medical exams
-Security database checks
-Final screening at US airport
Average process: 18-24 months.

Breaking down what's actually in the new DHS #refugee detention memo.
It targets LEGAL refugees who haven't gotten green cards within a year of arrival.
Here's what people are missing about how absurd this is: 🧵

Another drone strike. Another civilian killed.
Thursday morning, Feb 19: RSF drone struck the city of Al-Karmuk in Blue Nile State, southeastern Sudan.
Othman Musa killed. Others injured.
Al-Karmuk is near the Ethiopian border, 110km east of Damazin. The drone war has now spread to Blue Nile.
