I think of the refugees I've met in DR Congo in 2022.

Families, mothers, children, all trying to rebuild their lives and find ways to be self-sufficient.

Today, their safety is at risk again amid the ongoing violence.

We need immediate action.

Almost a year since war ravaged , leaving devastation. Millions were displaced—architects, doctors, teachers—all lost. Host countries need more support; UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency saves lives, but resources fall short.
Without a political resolution, a bigger crisis looms.

Isn’t Sudan the paradigm of many situations? Men vying for supremacy and destroying their country. Women standing strong, holding together families whose lives have been devastated.

They are the backbone of resilience in adversity, and of future peace.

'When elephants fight, it is the grass that suffers.'

I am reminded of this proverb about vulnerable people being most affected by conflict.

Schools are closed and malnutrition levels are rising.

The evidence is mounting: children are paying the human price of war in Sudan.

I’ve spent a week listening to people whose lives have been shattered by Sudan’s civil war.

If Sudan’s military leaders truly care for their people they should pursue a ceasefire — now.

Meanwhile all those in need must get aid, wherever they are, without unnecessary obstacles.
