29,000 births are expected in the next month in #Sudan, with the majority of hospitals & birthing centers closed, midwives are risking their loves to assist. ‘Death on the Floor or Death in the Streets’: Childbirth Amid War in Sudan

‘Death on the Floor or Death in the Streets’: Childbirth Amid War in Sudan
War in the northeast African nation has forced pregnant women to drive “through hell” to reach the dwindling number of hospitals and clinics, or turn to overworked midwives to give birth at home.

One of Africa’s largest capital cities, a short hop from the Med, is shredded by warfare, the civilian population in dire straits. Yet already Mark Zuckerberg’s Judo & Prince Louis’s digger are more important front page news. This is racism on a colossal scale. #KeepEyesOnSudan

To escape Khartoum requires money and the least privileged are going to have to cope with the worst parts of this war. Money = mobility. #SudanCrisis

Literally the worst nightmare. An embassy holds on to your passport, your country enters crisis, the embassy evacuates its staff, renders you officially stateless, and has the guts to tell you to apply for a new passport from the same country they’ve just run away from.

Dear Wasila, we deeply regret the current situation you're in. We were forced to close the embassy and evacuate our staff. Unfortunately, this means we can't get to your passport. We advise to apply for a new passport with your local authorities.
