Study estimates more violent deaths in Khartoum State alone than current number recorded for entire country.
Evidence death toll in other regions also higher.

An often sidelined issue during wartime is the protection of women’s rights, particularly in areas like SRH, which tends to be neglected both during and after wartime.
Andariya is hosting this Facebook Live tomorrow evening to bring much needed attention to spotlight this issue.
Join us on Wednesday 13 Nov at 7:00 PM Sudan time in a Facebook Live where we'll discuss Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights of Sudanese Women;
• The conversation will center women’s experiences during difficult times, prioritizing the conflict's effect on them and dismantling the public priorities speech that tries to marginalize women’s voices.
• We will highlight how conflict and instability disproportionately affect women’s health, limiting their access to safe child delivery operations, hygienic period products, management facilities and essential care for pregnant women and new mothers. This might result in pushing women to return to old and traditional practices that might be harmful for their health.
• We'll aim to understand the physical and psychological impact of insufficient access to SRHR care and products, such as social isolation and stigma.
• Finally, we discuss locally driven initiatives and efforts to reduce the effect of the current crisis.
We will be joined by:
*Fatima Ali: Social Change and SRHR Strategist.
Dr Marwa Tageldin: Menstrual Health Expert and SRHR Advocate.
Dr Tibyan Elhussain: Medical doctor and Founder of Shani Girls Club.

BREAKING: Commissioner of the Met Police Sir Mark Rowley has been seen leaving the Cabinet Office in Westminster.
As he left, he was asked a question about two-tier policing, but Sir Mark grabbed the journalist's microphone and dropped it to the ground.

Where is the government?
When is parliament being recalled? People are terrified for their lives and safety and of family, friends and communities. I’ve lost count of number of messages circulating telling our elders, Muslim women in hijab to stay inside and stay safe #RiotsUK

You see it coming, you know it’s on its way, you understand it’s been fanned by many politicians and media outlets, while others tolerated it in the name of getting elected, yet when it arrives it’s still more terrible and terrifying than you imagined.

For five years, the Sudanese protested peacefully, demanding a civilian state. They wanted SAF in its bases, and the RSF dissolved. This man summed it all. He was ready carrying his death shroud.

The RSF advancement in Sudan's agricultural heartland is terrifying.
For the families who have lived there for generations - now terrorized and forced to flee - and for all of us scattered around the world watching our country spiral into famine and RSF control.

Lighting a candle for George Pagoulatos who passed away on this day 2 years ago. As a #Sudanese Greek / Greek-Sudanese he - with his wife Eleonora & his brothers - made the legendary Acropole Hotel in #Khartoum a wonderful portal to #Sudan. Dearly missed by many around the world.

According to the #Sudanese Journalists Syndicate, since the start of the #war, more than 40 journalists, including 5 female #journalists, have been arrested, detained, and held by military intelligence, #RSF, and other unidentified entities.

It appears the RSF has out-manouvered SAF in Sennar state. While SAF focused on Sennar city and Jebel Moya, the janjaweed capture Sinja town east of Sennar. This is the third location captured by the janjaweed in the past 2 weeks.

The janjaweed attack on Jebel Moya on Monday was a distraction. The news coming in from Sennar this afternoon, the RSF is now attacking the city.
Dr Isabelle Vella Gregory retweeted
The situation on Sennar is not clear. Some say the RSF jas breached SAF's defences to the west of the city and is now fighting in town. While panicking residents and displaced people, they are trying to flee the city.
