SUDAN INSIGHT ALERT: Guardian - Sudan is heading for atrocity once again. The UK government must not sit by
Kate Ferguson, a co-executive director at Protection Approaches, a charity working to prevent identity-based violence, calls for the UK government to integrate its responsibility, to help protect vulnerable populations in Sudan throughout its activities, from UK aid to diplomacy, migration policy and trade.
Noting that a destabilised Sudan can become a ISIS base, Ferguson calls for the UK to dissuade the TMC from holding “premature elections,” as it would be too soon for civilians to build “genuine” representative institutions, and too soon to disarm paramilitary groups.
Ferguson also calls for the UK to coordinate its Sudan policy with the UK-based Sudan diaspora, and to ensure that the UK is not a financial haven for Sudanese war-criminals to harbour “dirty money.”
