Andy: It pains me to write this type of email to you.
We are marking the third “anniversary” of war, famine, and widespread atrocities in Sudan, which is now the world’s largest hunger and humanitarian crisis.
I recently spoke with some of my colleagues on Amnesty’s crisis investigation team who are leading our work in and around Sudan. They told me that this has been among the most difficult fights for human rights they’ve been a part of because of the incredibly traumatic experiences civilians have been forced to endure.
Amnesty is not letting their stories go untold, and the world is starting to listen. We cannot let up.
My colleagues sat with children who had been deliberately shot by the RSF, and who witnessed their parents being killed right in front of them. Some children were completely on their own in the refugee camps in neighboring Chad.
Beyond the violence and mass killings, children are suffering immensely as rates of starvation and disease are rapidly worsening.
It breaks me to hear from people who say they feel abandoned. The world has catastrophically failed the people of Sudan — but there’s something that gives me hope.
This grassroots movement has allowed us to deploy to the region. It’s helped us meet with survivors and send human rights defenders on the ground direct assistance. It’s powered our work to conduct research, expose violations, and publish our findings to hold those responsible for violations accountable.
Now, after years of sounding the alarm, the world is starting to pay attention — and we must keep up the momentum to finally end these atrocities and save lives. When you make an emergency donation today, your gift will be TRIPLED to protect people in Sudan and around the world.
