In a 2-year war between the Sudan Armed Forces (SAF) and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), commonly referred to as a Genocide, Sudan has been destroyed and pushed into famine. Approximately 25 million people are in need of humanitarian aid, while much of the world remains silent. Why?
Sudan has some of the richest gold deposits in Africa and is one of the largest producers, however, 50-70% of Sudan’s gold is smuggled illegally and gets traded in the United Arab Emirates. With high interest in these precious minerals, there is much involvement and support from international powers.
Sudan isn’t poor, Sudan is exploited.

Fighting in eastern Congo is displacing thousands of people daily, in an ongoing 30+ year genocide that has killed an estimated 6 million people so far. 27 million people are in need of humanitarian assistance and that number is rising every day. Recently M23 Rebels, backed by Rwanda and many western governments including the US, Canada & much of Europe, have seized Goma to continue controlling and exploiting mineral rich regions in the Congo.
The DRC is extremely rich in natural resources including coltan, cobalt, diamonds and gold. This is not just a conflict between two African countries, Europe and so-called America are backing and equipping M23 Rebels. Continuing to access cheap or free labour, Europe and America support forced displacement, genocide and slave labour for the advancement of technology.
Congo isn’t poor. Congo is exploited.

Slavery, exploitation, an apocalyptic 2010 earthquake, vicious dictatorships, foreign intervention, theft by foreign NGOs, and a 122-year-long debt forced on the country by their former slave-masters, Haiti has been manipulated and unfathomably oppressed.
For centuries, Haiti’s income has flowed directly into the pockets of French debt holders and so-called USA, leaving the country desperate and on the brink of collapse. Forced labour, sweatshops, military coups and now armed groups controlling and collaborating with wealthy Haitian elites, continues to drain Haiti, whilst 5.5 million people require humanitarian assistance. Haiti’s story is beyond heartbreaking. With acute food insecurity, girls subjected to rape and sexual violence, children forced to work for gangs and the healthcare system overwhelmed, Haiti needs our attention.
Hands off Haiti.

On November 4th 2020 Abiy Ahmed (the current Prime Minister of Ethiopia) cut off Tigray from the rest of the world by shutting down phone, internet, electricity, banks and humanitarian aid, to ethnically cleanse Ethiopia’s northern region of Tigray. Lasting roughly 2 years, much of the genocidal war on Tigray happened in the dark. With countless human rights abuses, gang rapes and forced evictions, Ethiopian and Eritrean troops (supported by international communities), killed thousands of civilians, leaving approximately 5.4 million people in dire need of assistance.
Though much of the fighting in Tigray ended in 2022, the country still faces heart shattering humanitarian emergencies, including incomprehensible starvation and an unprecedented outbreak of Cholera. With escalating and ongoing conflicts in Amhara, climate change and economic issues, Tigray is in desperate need of resources and care.
Free Tigray.
