Richard Dawkins is mostly famous for his atheism, I'm not sure he's a "real" Christian or would identify as such.

Part one of new and important research out on RSF killings in #Sudan. DM me if you want an embargoed copy of @hrw.org part two to this research on RSF commission of widespread sexual violence, including sexual slavery.

Sudanese Air Force kills nearly 200 civilians in attacks on markets Many children and women killed and wounded in new wave of attacks

"The attacks follow a year-long pattern of airstrikes against busy markets in areas controlled by the Rapid Support Forces... with the apparent deliberate intent of maximizing casualties. Supporters of the Sudanese military... [claim] they targeted the “social incubators” of the RSF rebellion."

Sudan army air strike kills over 100 in North Darfur market Bombing of Kabkabiya and the airport at Nyala part of an escalating campaign targeting RSF-controlled territory across Darfur

A bloody 24hrs in Sudan.

From SAF airstrikes in Kabkabiya (dozens killed; some estimates put death toll at 85) & Khartoum (27 killed)

to RSF bombings in Omdurman (at least 40 killed) & Zamzam IDP Camp (at least 8 killed)

Civilians remain the primary victims.

#Sudan Wrapped 2024
In Sudan, families are suffering from a severe lack of access to water, food, and basic necessities, caught in the middle of violence, and deep uncertainty. While the world shares curated playlists and festive moments, millions are fighting just to survive.

“I now view euthanasia and assisted suicide as introducing a new risk to my patients: the risk of wrongful, premature death”

Excellent blog from a family doctor in Canada who primarily serves marginalized communities. She outlines multiple examples of death via MAiD that were questionable (at best)

South Korea’s opposition parties move to impeach president over sudden declaration of martial law South Korea’s President Yoon Suk Yeol is facing pressure to leave office hours after he ended a short-lived martial law before lawmakers voted to lift it.

We could have done this in America.

On January 7, 2021.

We might still have a functioning democracy and rule of law.

GP Crisis

NHS Dentistry model?
1990s just 6% of Dentists were private providers (mainly London) now it’s 70%

NHS GP contract needs massive funding increase as it’s been cut 20% in 8yrs

UK already seeing increasing adverts for Private GP appts £50-£100

#NHS GPs get £115/yr/patient for everything

If I charged 100 quid per patient contact I would be easily getting 3000 quid a day

In 2 days I would have made more than a month's salary 👍

He and Elon sure love their AI heroic cosplay shots.

At the end of the day Donald Trump knows “the economy does better under the Democrats than the Republicans!” He said so himself.

Pass it on…

It seems he's offering to annexe Switzerland on behalf of Canada?

I'm sure it makes sense to the MAGA mind.

I don't even know what to say anymore. Every single person in this photo was forced from their home under threat of violence. Every single person in this photo is sick and underfed, without adequate access to healthcare or clean water. None of them have had a full night's sleep since November 2023.

So, er... why is Trump planting a Canadian flag in Switzerland?

This high-profile event will bring together prominent academics, UN officials, and leading Sudanese advocates to address one of the most pressing humanitarian crises of the 21st Century. Hosted in the distinguished setting of the new Warburg auditorium, chaired by a leading journalist, and building on recent media engagement, the event seeks to bring new insights to this urgent displacement emergency. Sudan is currently the world’s worst humanitarian crisis, characterised by mass displacement, intensifying conflict, economic meltdown, and inadequate aid for the local population. The latest outbreak of conflict began in April 2023 in Khartoum and quickly spread, with warnings now of genocide in the western region of Darfur. This compounds an already volatile situation of domestic political and economic instability in the country. The crisis has forced millions of people to flee their homes - around 12 million by June 2024. Some have crossed borders, mostly seeking refuge in neighbouring states, while the vast majority - over 10 million people - are now displaced within Sudan. This makes Sudan the largest displacement crisis in the world. Almost 25 million people - more than half of Sudan’s population - are currently in need of humanitarian aid. Yet global attention remains elsewhere. This public event draws new attention to the issue, exploring how the country has reached crisis point, the key displacement challenges, the long-term impacts on Sudan as a country, and what can be done by countries in the region and beyond to address them.

#Sudan 🇸🇩: #SAF forces are on the move again. This morning the military captured the town of Umm al-Qura from the #RSF.

It looks like the city of #WadMadani could be their next target. This city was lot to RSF militants a year ago.

A similar fate befell Ardamata, West Darfur, which saw RSF kill about 1,300 unarmed people after capturing a nearby army garrison back in November 2023.

It remains one of the most horrifying crimes of this war. And yet, we could see larger number targeted across ethnic lines in Zamzam

Sudan war: A simple guide to what is happening The conflict, which has been raging for over a year, is triggering major displacement and hunger crises.
