Africans Rising Calls for Solidarity With Sudan

By: Michael Mike

Africans Rising has called for solidarity with people of Sudan over the intractable crisis in the country.

The group has earmarked December 2nd as #SudanSolidarityDay to bring international attention to the situation in Northeast Africa country.

It appealed to the conscience of Africans all over the world to stand in solidarity with Sudan, following the recently launched Pan-African Solidarity humanitarian initiative for Sudan aimed to rally and mobilise resources and other humanitarian assistance to support and prevent any further loss of life and indignity from this war to those in-country and refugee camps in the neighbouring countries.

Africans Rising in a statement on Monday said: “It is now eight months of terror, anguish, massacre, bloodshed, sexual violence against women and young girls in Sudan. Since the fight between the two military formations broke out on April 15 this year, it has immeasurably exacerbated a pre-existing humanitarian crisis and now turned “catastrophic”.

“As this war continues, the number of refugees are likely to increase and the majority of those who continue to bear the brunt are the vulnerable groups that include children, girls, women, persons with disabilities among others.”

The statement added: “Where is our ubuntu as Africans? “ encapsulated the spirit of solidarity with Sudan.

The programme which is physical and online across the globe, encourages all to spread the word by sharing a picture online with the hashtags #StopSudanWar, #IamTheSudanRevolution, and #SudanDay., while adding for impact from people by creating a 10-second video to raise awareness.

Africans Rising said: “Additionally, we invite you to organize and register your events here in support of #SudanSolidarityDay. Registration deadline is Sunday, November 26, 2023.”

It also appeal for contribute to the cause by sending any material donations to any of the designated collection points and also sending financial donations through these donation channels. “Every contribution counts and helps make a difference in the lives of those affected by the ongoing situation in Sudan.”

Residents of Kachia call for media attention as bandit attacks escalate

By: Zagazola Makama

Residents of Kachia Local Government Area in Kaduna State have raised concerns over the apparent underreporting of recurring bandit attacks and kidnappings in the area, urging major media houses to take notice.

In a statement signed by Rev. Fr. Agbo Gabriel, the community expressed frustration that despite enduring more than two years without consistent electricity, and relying on solar power where possible, the security challenges in Kachia and surrounding villages have largely gone unreported.

According to the statement, in the early hours of Sunday, September 7, 2025, bandits attacked Wakeh village in Agunu District, killing eight people, injuring many others, and burning homes and property.

The attacks, the statement says, have similarly affected Ankwa, Bishini, Katari, and other villages, leaving communities displaced, traumatised, and in despair.

“The poor people of Kachia town, who used to host internally displaced persons from surrounding villages, are now themselves being targeted,” Rev. Fr. Gabriel said. “Kidnappings from farms and homes are happening daily, yet media coverage remains virtually absent. We are forced to ask: where are the correspondents or reporters of major media houses in Kaduna and Kachia?”

The statement appealed to Kaduna State Governor, Uba Sani, to urgently address the insecurity in Kachia LGA, highlighting the area’s potential and importance to the state. Residents also called for stronger community-based surveillance, engagement of local leaders, and collective action to protect vulnerable villages.

Rev. Fr. Gabriel emphasised that local vigilance is critical at this time, urging residents to report suspicious activities and support one another in defending their communities.

“Kachia is a land of great potential and does not deserve such neglect,” the statement concluded. “Media houses, we need your attention. Kachia too exists.”

Zagazola report that the Kaduna State had not released any statement regarding the unfortunate incident.
