With conflict between Sudan’s military and main paramilitary forces, humanitarian needs are growing rapidly and thousands are fleeing for the borders. 

Bergen Global is hosting a seminar “War in Sudan” on Wednesday 3 May from 2:00PM to analyse recent developments and the humanitarian situation in Sudan.

Held both in-person and online, the seminar will discuss what does it take for the generals to put down their weapons? What can, and is being done, by the Sudanese people themselves and how can they be supported? And what role should and can the international community, including Norway, take?

Panel (hybrid)

• Sara Abbas (Political Scientist and active in SudanUprising Germany)
• Abeer Ahmed (Sudanese student at the University of Bergen, UiB and a peace building practitioner)
• Liv Tønnessen (Senior Researcher, Chr. Michelsen Institute, CMI and Director of Center on Law and Social Transformation)
