As many of you may have followed, the conflict that erupted on 15 April 2023 in Sudan escalated with ethnically targeted atrocities cited as genocide in places like Darfur. We had been warning against this for some time, for instance, in our report over a year ago: Can we prevent the spread of renewed atrocities in Sudan?

Vast resources are needed to deal with the aftermath of conflict, but hardly any investment is made in prevention. However, with our training, influential leaders from opposing communities have decided to work together to counter hate speech and convince armed groups not to take sides in the war.

Rights for Peace is doing important work strengthening resilience to genocide. With the right methods, it is possible to reverse prejudice and hate that leads to violence. We are seeing remarkable results in attitude and behaviour changes! Watch the video of one of our recent trainings here.

Please contribute to our Sudan emergency appeal. We are supporting dialogue amongst influencers from different communities in Darfur to counter identity-based violence.
