Aegis Trust Special Representative Dr Mukesh Kapila CBE is speaking in London on 26 April. Tickets are free and open to all. Book them here.
Dr Kapila will discuss the current crisis in the southern Sudanese states, providing a unique insight into the conflict and a detailed report on what he personally witnessed in the region. Join Aegis as we call on the UK Government to take urgent action to prevent further atrocities and protect innocent civilians.
As head of the UN in Sudan during the original Darfur crisis, Dr Kapila has compared the current crisis to Darfur. In a recent Al Jazeera interview he said: "The situation in Southern Kordofan, that I witnessed for myself last month, is even worse than Darfur."
Aegis is determined to shed light on the ongoing atrocities. While in the region, Aegis saw thousands of women and children living under boulders and in caves in an attempt to protect themselves and personally witnessed direct attacks on innocent communities, which may amount to breaches of international law.
