A look at Sudan's war by the numbers Sudan is entering a fourth year of war between the military and paramilitary forces. The fighting has pushed many people to the brink of famine, fueled one of the world's largest displacement crises a...

The war in Sudan has now created 9 million refugees while 19 million face hunger. The death toll has climbed to 59,000 people and another 11,000 are missing.

There is no shortcut to time; at some point you stop feeling like your world is tilting off its axis and you start just getting through the day. So, yes, it gets easier — but grief is not linear. It’s been 25 years for me and it still rises up & catches me by the throat sometimes

Listening to the @nytimes.com Daily on energy disruption & the reporters are saying how easy it would be to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. If there are mines in the water, not true.

Hi Dave — we work with smallholder fathers across the Global South, so we believe in local innovation & action for sure

Hi there! We actually work across many crop types and focus on smallholder farmers! The “milpas”system, for example, is one of the approaches we’ve on in a two-way conversation about how to improve disease resistance
