Starvation deaths are tragically being reported in El Fasher, Sudan, according to activists, painting a grim picture of a city besieged for over a year and a half. It’s hard to even fathom the suffering endured by the people there, a true testament to human resilience that they’ve managed to survive this long. The core of the problem, it seems, lies in the unbearable scarcity of basic necessities, particularly food.
The fact that a single sack of millet, a staple food for the local population, is now selling for a staggering 4.2 million Sudanese pounds – roughly $1,750 – speaks volumes.… Continue reading
The International Criminal Court (ICC) has issued a grave warning regarding the dire situation in Sudan’s Darfur region, where civilians are experiencing widespread atrocities. Deputy Prosecutor Nazhat Shameem Khan reported that the suffering has reached an “intolerable state” due to famine, violence, and forced displacement. The ICC has gathered evidence pointing to potential war crimes and crimes against humanity, including rape, abductions, and deliberate starvation. The international community is urged to address the humanitarian catastrophe, as the conflict between the Sudanese Armed Forces and the Rapid Support Forces continues to devastate communities.

The Intercept revealed that ICE deceived eight men, who were convicted criminals, by telling them they were being transferred to another ICE facility in Louisiana, when in reality they were being deported to South Sudan. The men were held in a shipping container on a U.S. military base in Djibouti before being expelled to South Sudan, a country plagued by violence. Members of Congress condemned ICE’s actions, calling them cruel and a violation of international law, particularly given the lack of due process and the dangerous conditions in South Sudan. The Trump administration, however, defended the deportations, while South Sudan’s foreign ministry stated the agreement was part of broader cooperation. This incident highlights the U.S.’s practice of deporting immigrants to third countries with no ties to them and the secret deals being made to expand this practice.

South Sudan is currently holding eight men deported from the United States, only one of whom is a South Sudanese national, the others coming from various countries. The deportations stem from the Trump administration’s efforts to relocate unwanted migrants to third countries, with the men having been convicted of violent crimes. South Sudan’s foreign ministry stated that the men are being screened and cared for, emphasizing the decision was part of ongoing bilateral engagement with the U.S. The move has drawn criticism from UN experts and raised safety concerns due to the ongoing conflict and instability within South Sudan, with fears of a return to war.

A federal judge ruled that the Trump administration violated a court order by deporting eight migrants to countries other than their own, including South Sudan, without giving them sufficient opportunity to claim fear of persecution or torture. The administration deported individuals with criminal convictions, despite a prior injunction preventing such deportations to third countries. The judge ordered that the deported individuals be given a reasonable fear interview and the same access to legal counsel they would have had in the U.S. The White House defended its actions, claiming compliance with court orders, while the judge highlighted the migrants’ insufficient notice before deportation and lack of access to legal representation. This ruling follows a similar injunction blocking deportations to Libya.

Elon Musk’s claim that no one has died due to U.S. foreign aid cuts is demonstrably false. In South Sudan, the cessation of aid, orchestrated in part by Musk and President Trump, directly resulted in the deaths of several children, including Peter Donde, who died from an opportunistic infection due to lack of HIV medication, and Achol Deng, who died after losing access to her case worker and medicine. These deaths are not isolated incidents, and health workers predict a significant rise in mortality as food and medicine supplies dwindle. The consequences extend beyond immediate deaths, impacting anti-terrorism efforts and disease surveillance, ultimately harming U.S. interests.
