SUMMARY:In conversation: Darfur20/Sudan – Justice\, accountability\, impunity
DESCRIPTION:A joint Wiener Holocaust Library and Waging Peace event to mark 20 years since the start of genocide in Darfur\, and renewed violence across Sudan in 2023 \nHM King Charles and Amouna Adam discuss a peacebuilding project facilitated by Waging Peace named ‘Peace by Piece’ at a Sudanese community gathering in March 2023\, © Sam Churchill \nIn this event our expert panel will discuss the ongoing impact of ethnic cleansing and war on Darfur\, in this\, the twentieth anniversary of the internationally recognised start of the genocide perpetrated against non-Arab Darfuri people by Sudanese government forces and Janjaweed militia. The panel will include international justice practitioners and advocates\, representatives from the International Criminal Court\, as well as Abdallah Abugarda Idriss\, Mohammed Ibrahim\, Tajeldeen Ismail and Nagmelden Osman\, leading members of the Darfur Diaspora Association. \nCurrently\, the largest displacement crisis in the world is in Sudan\, where 7.1 million people are displaced internally\, 4.5 million of whom were displaced since violence erupted between the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and Rapid Support Forces (RSF) in mid-April 2023. A further 1.25 million have been forced to cross borders by conflict and genocidal policies. British Minister for Africa\, the Rt. Hon. Andrew Mitchell MP has recently described the situation in the Sudanese region of Darfur as ‘bearing all the hallmarks of ethnic cleansing’. \nThe International Criminal Court is currently investigating historical war crimes in Sudan and the war crimes occurring today\, and the panel will consider how the lack of justice and accountability with respect to the genocide from 2003 has enabled some of the groups responsible to once again commit atrocities in 2023. \nFurther details of speakers to follow. \nThis event will take place in person at the Library and online. \nFurther information from Waging Peace\, a human rights organisation that campaigns against genocide and human rights abuses in Sudan and support Sudanese refugees in Britain: \n\n20 years of genocide in Darfur\, a guest contribution by Eric Reeves\nThe situation in Adre\, by Khadidja Fadoul\nPeace in Sudan depends on justice for the Darfur genocide\, by Professor Mukesh Kapila CBE\n\nA drawing by a child survivor of genocide in Darfur\, depicting what they witnessed during the genocide\, 2007\, Wiener Holocaust Library Collections \nVirtual Event guidelines:\n\nThe Library will send you a Zoom link and joining instructions via email prior to the event.
