“I was too quick to dismiss warning signs, believing that they wouldn’t come after a journalist... I now realize that personal safety is a matter for you as an individual.”

I spoke to @ijnet about being targeted by the far-right and how I protect myself from attacks.

I am in Nairobi now, working for Sudan, but maybe Perugia Festival or WPFD next year?

Silvia Chocarro @silviachocarro.bsky.social · Dec 10

It would be interesting to have a publication analyzing all these initiatives, so we can learnt from each other…

Silvia Chocarro @silviachocarro.bsky.social · Dec 10

It reminds me to the #SudanMediaForum, a coalition of Sudanese media outlets (including the Sudanese Journalists Syndicate) created last April to collaborate among them and seek international support and solidarity.

The situation of Sudanese journalists and media is incredibly challenging, at a time where access to accurate information is a matter of life and death. Without journalists, Sudan would be silenced, and #silencekills. On #GivingTuesday #StandWithSudan
