🧵#SudanUpdate: Sudanese Mineral Resources Co. chief Mubarek Ardol, flanked by bodyguards, flew in a white UN plane from Kadugli, capital of Sudan's South Kordofan State to Wau, South Sudan at approximately 1:00pm on May 2, at the invitation of Juba and with the agreement of SAF.

Ardol, an ex-spokesman for Malik Agar's faction of SPLM-N rebels who became head of SMRC in April 2020, had flown to Kadugli on April 14 -- the night before Sudan erupted in conflict between two warlords, Gen. Burhan of SAF and his deputy Hemedti of the RSF.
Ardol, wearing a suit and flanked by four bodyguards in civilian clothes, met with local officials, including Mousa Gaber Mahmoud, South Kordofan's acting provincial governor. He also met with Russian officials from the Wagner Group, and Wagner subsidiaries M-Invest
and Al-Solag (a Sudanese front company for Meroe Gold, the US-sanctioned Russian mining business) who are mining gold in the eastern corridor of Southern Kordofan.
Ardol has been advocating (with Sudan's Finance Minister Gibril Ibrahim and SLA leader Minni Minawi) for the inclusion of NCP in negotiations about forming a new government. Ardol has a close relationship with Sudan's Minister of Mining, who is part of Minnawi's faction.
On May 2, at approximately 2:00 a.m., a SAF convoy of army trucks arrived at a military hospital in Kadugli, carrying four dead soldiers and hundreds of wounded fighters.
Ardol went stealthily to the Kadugli airport on May 2, accompanied by two SAF colonels in uniform and four bodyguards. He kept a low profile in the VIP lounge. Ardol, accompanied by two bodyguards, departed Kadugli in a white UN plane at approximately 1:00 pm, headed to Wau.
@MubarakArdol, This you? Image

The Security & Military Intelligence Service is contradicting Sudanese values & violating the laws of war by evicting internally displaced people who are not Sudanese from shelters & dormitories, according to eyewitnesses in Wad Medani in Al Jazira State. #KeepEyesOnSudan
Security & Military Intelligence officers in Wad Medani are denying essential services to internally displaced people who are not Sudanese. The services, paid for by the city's generous residents, include food, medicine & emergency relief supplies for children & the elderly.
Multiple eyewitness reports from Wad Medani corroborate this social media post describing the desperate situation faced by resident foreigners in Sudan who have fled war in Khartoum, and who are being evicted from emergency shelters & denied essential relief services. Image

🧵Please RT this #PublicHealth thread for internally displaced people & refugees in Sudan on how to disinfect drinking water.💦 You can kill pathogens in Sudanese surface water by boiling it for one minute.🔥 But another safe method uses the sun.☀️ #KeepEyesOnSudan #SudanUpdates
The @WHO recommends solar disinfection (SODIS) to disinfect drinking water when you cannot boil water. All you need is clear, plastic bottles, such as 1-liter or 2-liter bottles that previously held soda or juice. Place the bottles on a roof or in full sunlight for 6 hours.☀️ ImageImage
Six hours of exposure in full sunlight (or two days of exposure if the weather is cloudy) will pasteurize the water. The UV-A solar radiation combined with the heat from the sun for 6+ hours will destroy or deactivate most pathogens, making your water much safer to drink. ImageImage

🧵#SudanStressTips: Reducing the chronic stress of daily life as much as possible is important for overall health.
1. Make time for movement.🏃🏾 Wait for the crossfire to end & avoid checkpoints and roaming militias. Better yet, don't move; meditate while sheltering in place.🧘🏾 Image
2. Set boundaries between your work & your personal life.🧱 Reinforce them with sand bags. Consider getting a guard dog.🐕‍🦺
3. Connect with people you care about. These may be people who own a generator or people with fuel to run a generator. Barter with food.🍞
#SudanStressTips Image
4. Speak with a therapist.👩🏽‍⚕️ Ask them where you can find bread🍞 to barter for fuel⛽ to run your neighbor's generator to recharge your phone📶 to connect with your loved ones💙🇸🇩 to make a plan to make time for movement when the roads become safe. #SudanStressTips Image

🚨OMG @TwitterSafety claims Nazi profile @0Norseman0 which follows Summerville, SC police department & uses the N-word & advocates "kill the Jews" is NOT in violation of @Twitter safety policy. @elon, White supremacist much?👀👇 ImageImageImage
@ADL, care to comment on @TwitterSafety's claim that a White supremacist profile urging "kill the Jews" is NOT against @Twitter safety policy under @elon? ImageImage
Correction: I said @elon when I should have said "racist asshole who won't give us an edit button (@elonmusk)". My apologies.

🧵The evacuation of embassies across Khartoum signals the international community's failure in #Sudan. While we pray for their safe departure, we also pray that when they return, they will dialogue humbly with Sudan's civil society leaders, not just warlords. #KeepEyesOnSudan
The U.S. & international community, including European nations, showed a failure of imagination by negotiating exclusively with SAF warlord Gen. Burhan🤏 and RSF warlord Hemedti🐍 instead of with Sudanese Resistance Committees, trade unions, intellectuals, young people & women.
We mourn the deaths of four Sudanese #humanitarian workers. Say their names:
* Siddig Abdalla Tahir, Osman Abdalla Ali & Yusuf Ibrahim of @WFP_Sudan, killed by RSF in Kabkabiya.
* Ahmed Othman Fadl, Director of @IOMSudan's office in Al-Fula, West Kordofan.👇

😞 @IOMSudan staff member dies when crossfire hits his family's vehicle south of El Obeid, Sudan.
"The senseless deaths of civilians including humanitarians, which claimed the lives of three @WFP_Sudan employees in North Darfur on Saturday, must end and peace be restored."
"I am deeply saddened by the death of our humanitarian colleague, and join his wife and newborn child, and our team in Sudan in mourning." -- @IOMchief António Vitorino
