Today marks three years of war in Sudan and the scale of suffering is staggering.
It’s past time for Congress to pass the Stand Up for Sudan Act and halt U.S. weapons sales to the UAE, the primary backer of the RSF.
Sudan can’t wait. Act now.

3/3 This conference should not have to be remembered as the first day of yet another year of atrocities against civilians in Sudan.

“Minimal, half-hearted and lackluster responses from the African Union, the UN Security Council and other international and regional actors have only emboldened the perpetrators to continue carrying out these attacks." - @agnescallamard.bsky.social amnesty.ca/human-rights... #KeepEyesonSudan
Three years of #CivilWar, going into a fourth with no end in sight, #Sudan is the world’s worst humanitarian disaster.
Quscondy Abdulshafi joins Viola Gienger on the latest episode of the JS Podcast to discuss how #Sudan got here and the international efforts – and failures – to stop it:
Today marks the 3rd anniversary of the devastating war in #Sudan that has created the world’s worst humanitarian crisis. World leaders must take immediate action to promote an inclusive peace process and prevent further atrocities
Our statement: www.allianceforpeacebuilding.org/afp-publicat...
Ahmadi: this crisis is one of #Accountability. Generals made the evaluation that Bashir got away with 2005 genocide, so we can get away with this now. Lack of #Justice from 20 years ago sowed the seeds of current conflict.
Ahmadi: massacres and #Atrocities are starting in places that hadn’t experienced it before, like places in Blue Nile, South, West, and North Khordufan. Gender based violence #GBV continuing and intentional by armed actors. Reality of war in singled out regions is one of ethnic targeting
Ahmadi: as devastating as it is to speak about 3rd anniversary of conflict, hopeful in seeing the strong engagement. Attention on Sudan globally is less though. Need a coalition of U.S. and others to end the crisis. Mass displacement and systematic attacks on women continue.
Booker: Stories of humanitarian workers, women, survivors are seared in my memory. Pushed for expansion of arms embargo, appointment of special envoy, and more focus by administration to this issue. Prisoner of hope for more peace in #Sudan
Booker: There is no military solution to this conflict. This moment demands #Accountability and action. Silence is the worst kind of complicity. Real consequence to #USAID destruction and removal of humanitarian assistance. Saw firsthand at Chadian border work of humanitarian actors.
@booker.senate.gov “heartened by the full room” calling attention to this issue. Call to the conscience of the world. RSF and SAF force the people of #Sudan to pay the cost of their war. Egregious violations of #humanrights continue. Food insecurity, medicine, and security all impacted.
Mahmoud: There was no end of the Darfur #genocide. the current conflicts come from the fact that there was no #Accountability. “There are no humanitarian solutions to humanitarian problems” - because those problems aren’t caused by our humanity: require political, state, and innovative solutions
Mahmoud: found out again family had been killed by going through videos of RSF. This time the #genocide was live-streamed. Bullets kept coming even after death. 30k dead in less than 72 hours. This is a continuation of 2005 genocide. It never ended. #AtrocityPrevention failed
Mahmoud: situation in El Fasher #Sudan - all comms went dark. All “last mile” aid delivery lost comms. Videos started coming out. My cousin’s face fills the screen. RSF had killed her and were gloating over her body. Assaulted and killed patients in hospitals. Family homes destroyed.
Panelists for today’s #Sudan discussion share details around Sudanese civilian responses, including Emergency Response Rooms (ERRs), women’s groups, and community kitchens.
Warner: “I will personally write the letter of nomination for President Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize if he brings the power of the office of the President to bear on this conflict and the third parties involved in it.”
Warner: Biden Administration made mistakes re #Sudan, but destruction of #USAID ability to mitigate and reduce civilian suffering is travesty in ability to address humanitarian crisis. Want to see American youth engage again with Sudan like they did back in the 2000s. “Pick the side of humanity”
Senator Mark Warner shares remarks at commemoration of three years of conflict in Sudan
@markwarner.bsky.social shares remarks at the #Sudan “Three Years on” event. Focused on lack of focus on humanitarian crisis in Sudan. Praises the youth movement in Sudan for their efforts towards a free and safe Sudan. Emphasizes that both SAF and RSF are bad actors w/ “blood on their hands”
Konyndyk calls for appointment of Special Envoy for #Sudan, passage of pending Sudan-focused legislation, increased humanitarian assistance (including spending existing allocated funds) and the re-establishment of the Sudan Caucus in U.S. Congress.
Full room of attendees in Russell Office Building for Sudan conflict event
@jeremykonyndyk.bsky.social opens the conversation for today’s “Three Years On: #Sudan’s War, Humanitarian Collapse, and U.S. Leadership” with @refugeesinternational.org calling for congressional action & more serious administration attention. Bipartisan support to end the #atrocities in Sudan
Amidst many crises, the #Trump admin may be on the verge of a war of choice against #Iran. It would be:
-blatantly illegal (U.S. & int'l law)
-hugely costly (human & financial)
-has no clear end game
Your elected representatives have power to stop it.

Read the 2025 "Shadow Report to Congress on Section 5 of the Elie Wiesel Genocide and Atrocities Prevention Act of 2018" in full here: drive.google.com/file/d/1MkB_...
NEW: Every year, the Elie Wiesel Act requires the president to report to Congress on how the government is preventing mass atrocities. This year, that report never came.
In its absence, at least 10 former US federal employees who worked on atrocity prevention released a Shadow Report.
The Trump Administration ignored Congress & didn’t submit the #ElieWieselAct Report. So former USG officials wrote one. Congress must hold the Administration accountable for not following the law & the #atrocities that will undoubtedly occur. #AtrocityPrevention Read the report t.ly/APShadowReport

I'm incredibly excited to be a speaker for several sessions @seattlein2025.org
As we try to better communicate the importance of #foreignpolicy, #humanrights, & global engagement to non-specialist audiences. One way to do that is by using shared joys, like sci-fi, fantasy, and spec-fic
📣🇸🇾For nearly 14 years the #Syrian people have suffered unimaginable horrors Bashar al-Assad's government perpetrated countless atrocities.
Assad's overthrow presents a historic opportunity for transition, reunification, and truth-seeking.
