#Sudan Alarming violence reports from Al Junaynah, West #Darfur.

Just 1 week ago, the Sudanese attorney general announced the start of the investigation into Darfur crimes + a criminal case was opened against former president al-Bashir on charges of crimes against humanity.
Tonight, I spoke with people in Al Junaynah. The promise of a new #Sudan is distant in #Darfur: thousands of displaced are fighting hunger, diseases + live in fear of violence.

Some are accusing @SudanPMHamdok of being too slow in setting transitional structures at states level.
. @SudanPMHamdok & the RSF commander Hemeti - who is a member of the Sovereign Council - visited west #Darfur to inspect the security situation & to call for reconciliation. People in Al Junaynah are asking for an independent inquiry & an investigation by #UNAMID (@unamidnews). Image
The general feeling in #Sudan is that in-between fears of the old regime’s survival & aspirations to build a new political system, the challenges of achieving lasting peace in #Darfur are key.

Open call for the people in Al Junaynah

This morning I was on @BBCWorld Service talking about the recent events in #Darfur - follow by the great @Halayalkarib from @WomenProtest_SD #Khartoum highlighting the pillars for the full realisation of women’s rights in #Sudan.

[Starting from minute 27]

@BBCWorld @Halayalkarib @WomenProtest_SD A Sudanese Air Force Antonov An-12 plane carrying #Sudan|ese judges & injured people crashed after take-off from Sudan's West #Darfur, with all those on board killed, according to the Sudanese Red Crescent.

@BBCWorld @Halayalkarib @WomenProtest_SD Pics received this morning from Al Junaynah, the capital of West #Darfur. Shelter, food, water, health services are the most urgent priorities.

An estimated 30 K people have been displaced following clashes earlier this week in several villages, according to the #Sudan|ese Gov. ImageImageImage

For years people have been illegally sent back from #Italy to #Greece in secret prisons on private ships.

After months of investigating, we’ve found where asylum seekers, including children, are being detained.

THREAD 🧵
While European passengers are enjoying their holiday trips on board #Superfast ferries, below deck - in metal boxes & dark rooms - asylum seekers from #Afghanistan #Syria & #Iraq are detained.
This metal box is next to where trucks are parked - an area that is considered to be unsafe for passengers during the journey.

I just returned from #Turkey. I have spent days with Afghan & Syrian communities in Istanbul & at the border with #Bulgaria. I spoke with lawyers & local activists & archived evidences of pushbacks filmed by refugees who managed to survive violence & repression.

A few thoughts.
For the last years, #Turkey is the 1st address where Afghan refugees either stay permanently or wait at a transit point to cross to #Europe. Besides exploitation by employers & lack of access to public services, they are now facing the threat of detention or deportation to #Iran.
You’ll find them in #Zeytinburnu where restaurants employ a steady stream of runaways, including minors. I met young couples who already paid over the odds for passage over #Iran's treacherous mountains, sometimes waist-deep in snow & are now saving for another perilous journey.

[Thread] Here is a collection of most racist coverage of #Russia's attack on #Ukraine. We are being told who deserves war, missiles, & who looks like a good refugee.
This only serves to mislead viewers & decontextualise conflicts. Hypocrisy & its randomness..

Spero abbiate il tempo di leggere la nostra inchiesta su nave #Caprera, mandata dall'Italia in Libia per combattere il traffico di esseri umani. Alcuni dei suoi marinai hanno organizzato un carico di contrabbando + violato l'embargo UN sulle armi
nytimes.com/2020/09/28/wor… Image
L'ex ministro degli interni italiano Matteo Salvini a Tripoli aveva elogiato l'equipaggio della nave Caprera per aver impedito a + 7.000 persone di raggiungere l'Europa.

L'unico problema: la Caprera stessa stava organizzando un carico di contrabbando verso l´Europa. Image
Una prova fondamentale per gli investigatori sono le foto di una festa di addio. Le foto, condivise sul gruppo WhatsApp di nave Caprera, mostrano un sorridente Corbisiero seduto davanti a una grande torta al cioccolato.

Dietro di lui i sacchi di sigarette di contrabbando. ImageImage

#Italy's former interior minister Matteo Salvini praised the ship Caprera after it stopped ++ than 7,000 people from reaching Europe.

There was just one problem: the #Caprera was itself smuggling contraband to #Europe. Image
A key piece of evidence for investigators are photos from a farewell party... Photographs shared on the ship’s WhatsApp group showed a grinning Mr. Corbisiero sitting before a large chocolate cake... Behind him were several sacks of contraband cigarettes. ImageImage
