Most of us are tired of hearing about war, but if we don’t talk about the terrible situations that are happening around the world, how can we begin to influence the unbelievably dreadful decisions being taken by the current world leaders.

An article appeared 15 April 2026 on the BBC website:

‘Three years of messages at once – a chronicle of Sudan’s war pours in as trapped reporter’s phone turns on.

Mohamed Suleiman laments the failure of the world to end the civil war in Sudan, which enters its fourth year on Wednesday (15 April 2026).

The journalist and academic had made it to Port Sudan after being trapped in the western city of el-Fasher, largely cut off from the world by a communications blackout and unable to convey fully the horrors he was witnessing.

‘We saw dead children in the streets,’ Suleiman says.

“We saw women crying from extreme hunger and thirst, too weak to carry their children, so they left them in the road.”

There were “people we know by name and know their fathers, we cannot provide anything for them”.

“There is no food, no water, no first aid to save them, or to carry them with you. You cannot do anything. So you step over them, jump over them, cry, and continue walking,” Suleiman says.’
