Sudanese people need an urgent and permanent ceasefire, and much more concerted mediation efforts are required from key actors involved.

🧵 1. Today, 15 April, marks a year since a power struggle between two branches of #Sudan ’s armed forces exploded into full scale conflict.

It’s also 5 years, this month (11 April 2019), that Sudan’s brave people toppled the regime of long-time dictator Omar al-Bashir.
