Zamzam Camp, outside N. #Darfur's capital of #ElFasher, hosts >300,000 IDPs. The ban on cross-border aid access didn't come until Feb 2024. One has to ask: how is this 👇 possible? Yes there has been insecurity but trade continued. Serious Q for the UN #Sudan response.
Essential thread by @MSF_Sudan calling the international community to action. Other NGOs need to follow MSF's lead. The UN is recreant and cowardly and can't be counted on to save lives. ELF is critical as its the confluence of genocide and famine, both of which the IC ignores.

Death toll in Sudan's war could be as high 150,000 by now, US envoy Tom Perriello has acknowledged at a Senate committee hearing. Existing estimates of 15,000 to 30,000 could be an under-count "by a factor of 10 to 15," he said. "Some think it's 150,000." foreign.senate.gov/hearings/confl…
Really glad that @HRL_YaleSPH has been able to continue its satellite observation and documentation after State Dept cut it off Must-read report on the RSF's scorched earth attacks in ELF. No-one can say they didn't know and at this point failure to protect is complicity #Sudan

Nuanced take. Ultimately, though, “scientists in China do not enjoy the same autonomy as their American counterparts. …As a Chinese commentator asked online, "Is it so difficult to respect science?" to which another replied, "science is nothing in front of power."

@minlayla77 “I think it's only fair to talk to the folks and see what's going on before judging” I always kills me the way they start their shameless punditry on a moral position to keep this veil of innocence.

@MbekezeliMB It's as if JZ sits with a group of people familiar with legal nuance, and asks, 'How can we game the system, yet again?'
Our first PhD defense! One among our first cohort of PhD students on the Bioinformatics training program defended his thesis today. @Chriskintu2021 did research on the predictive utility of polygenic risk scores for chronic kidney disease, a condition affecting 10% of Africans.

🚪The Member States then resumed in closed session to discuss whether or not they agree with the Bureau's proposal. (Just before asking Stakeholders to leave the room Dr. Tedros encouraged Member States to “Get this done for the peoples whose voices go unheard and unheeded.")
@CedricDeBeer1 @ReprobateCoZa @SongezoZibi This has become so common. People don't take a position unless "research says". Even when "research says", they will say - "But it's not statistically significant, therefore we can't take a position or act"
And so we ask where they experience this? They experience this from people in retail stores (all of them JSE listed), fast food outlets (some belonging to listed groups), municipalities and other businesses. This is consistent in all 9 provinces..
Like Black Lives Matter, the student protests for #Gaza are going global. And they should be. I just got off the phone with a 19-year-old young woman that lost 250 members of her family, including her mother and father. Palestinians in #Gaza are first and foremost in danger.
I’m in Tokyo where students at the University of Tokyo have begun an encampment for Gaza. Their demands include an academic boycott, disclosing and divesting from companies associated with Israel, and that the university takes in Palestinian students and researchers from Gaza.
