An engaging discussion @sipri on pathways out of the unfolding catastrophe. Ending the violence against civilians and meeting urgent needs are priorities; this requires more responsible international engagement, and more coherent & supported mediation to define a political roadmap.
Today at the Stockholm Forum organised by @sipri.org we hosted a discussion on the current situation in Sudan, moderated by our Executive Director @eipkeating.bsky.social, with Raga Makawi (LSE), Dr. Elshafie Ahmed (Fikra), and Ambassador Stijn Janssen (@netherlandsmfa.bsky.social)
