Since the fall of El-Fasher in Sudan earlier this week, “very few people [are] getting out”, says @rescue.org President & CEO, David Miliband. Only 5,000 civilians have made it to safety, while the 250,000 caught in the enclave face “grave danger and mass killing.” #Velshi
‘Blood in the sand’: The siege of El-Fasher heightens Sudan conflict
Sudan’s paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) seized the city of El Fasher in the country’s Darfur region, leaving a trail of blood and atrocities in their wake. Analysts warn that the two-year long civil war, which has triggered one of the biggest humanitarian crises in the world today, is being fueled by regional powers backing opposite sides of the conflict. The International Rescue Committee is a global humanitarian aid, relief, and development organization. Its CEO and President, David Miliband tells Ali Velshi “every humanitarian emergency is a political emergency.”

The naked emperor, big peace prize nominee, saying we are going to intervene now in Nigeria? Wherever Christians across the world are "attacked" or what? I'm confused.
