The Third session in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, January 20 - 22 nd, 2014. This event was organised by Darfur Relief and Documentation Centre in collaboration with the African Centre for Democracy and Human Rights Studies, Darfur Bar Association, Human Rights Institute of South Africa and South Sudan Human Rights Society for Advocacy. The Forum adopted 11 (eleven) resolutions addressing an array of issues in Sudan and Republic of South Sudan.
The Darfur Relief and Documentation Centre (DRDC) received information that on Saturday, 7 October 2017, pro-government militiamen abducted Ms. Margaret Schenkel at gunpoint in her home in El-Fashir, capital of North Darfur State and took her to an unknown location. Ms. Schenkel, a Swiss national in her 70s, has been living and working as a volunteer relief worker in Darfur for about two decades during which she rendered immeasurable humanitarian service to the war victims and other poor people of the region, especially assisting malnourished children and their vulnerable families. Ms. Schenkel runs a therapeutic feeding centre for acutely malnourished children and closely collaborates with the health authorities in North Darfur State and officials at El-Fashir teaching hospital.

Dear Dr. Ghebreyesus,
We wish to kindly draw your attention to the cholera epidemic currently ravaging many parts of the Republic of Sudan and causing the death of thousands of victims, especially in Sudan’s peripheral areas. Since the outbreak of the disease in August 2016, all of Sudan’s 18 states, including the national capital Khartoum and its twin cities Omdurman and Khartoum North (Bahri) are severely affected. The epicentre of the cholera pandemic is now reported in the war-ravaged Darfur region.
