    Crisis in Sudan w/ Rachel Savage from the Guardian

    Sudan’s brutal two-year war has entered a new phase. The paramilitary Rapid Support Forces has seized control of the entire Darfur region, ousting the Sudanese army from its last stronghold. The conflict has killed over 40,000 people and displaced more than 14 million, creating a humanitarian crisis. The capture of el-Fasher, North Darfur’s capital, raises fears of Sudan splitting again, nearly 15 years after South Sudan’s independence. The RSF, led by Gen. Mohammed Hamdan Dagalo, has roots in the Darfur genocide and has been accused of atrocities. Dagalo’s forces have expanded their power and influence, leading to a power struggle with Sudan’s army chief that plunged Sudan into war.   We’ll dive deep into this story on today’s episode with Rachel Savage, the Guardian’s southern Africa correspondent based in Johannesburg. She recently published the article “Grave fears for civilians after Sudanese paramilitary claims capture of El Fasher” __ Subscribe to this podcast: https://plinkhq.com/i/1637968343?to=page Get in touch: lawanddisorder@kpfa.org Follow us on socials @LawAndDis: https://twitter.com/LawAndDis; https://www.instagram.com/lawanddis/ The post Crisis in Sudan w/ Rachel Savage from the Guardian appeared first on KPFA.

    Hurricane Melissa Impacts Haiti w/ Pierre Labossiere from Haiti Action

    Hurricane Melissa is set to pummel Jamaica as a catastrophic Category 5 storm, the strongest to lash Jamaica since recordkeeping began 174 years ago. Forecasters said the storm is expected to make landfall early Tuesday and slice diagonally across the island, entering near St. Elizabeth parish in the south and exiting around St. Ann parish in the north. Hours before the storm, the government said it had done all it could to prepare as it warned of catastrophic damage. Prime Minister Andrew Holness said, “There is no infrastructure in the region that can withstand a Category 5. The question now is the speed of recovery. That’s the challenge.” Hurricane Melissa is also impacting Haiti and surrounding island countries. We  speak with Pierre Labossiere. Pierre grew up in Haiti and co-founded the Haiti Action Committee in 1990. He lives in Oakland and is heavily involved in solidarity work with Haiti, including webinars and protests.   __ Subscribe to this podcast: https://plinkhq.com/i/1637968343?to=page Get in touch: lawanddisorder@kpfa.org Follow us on socials @LawAndDis: https://twitter.com/LawAndDis; https://www.instagram.com/lawanddis/ The post Hurricane Melissa Impacts Haiti w/ Pierre Labossiere from Haiti Action appeared first on KPFA.
