In this episode of Media Confidential, Clothilde Redfern and Martin Bright join Alan Rusbridger and Lionel Barber to discuss how national security laws are increasingly being used to restrict journalism around the world.Clothilde is the director of the UK branch of Reporters Without Borders (RSF) and Martin Bright is a journalist and contributing editor of a new report by the charity which shows a growing pattern of governments expanding the meaning of “national security” to justify secrecy, surveillance, and sustained pressure on reporters. The four discuss cases like that of Julian Assange and how legal action can have worrying impacts on journalists. They also talk about the line between legitimate security concerns and unnecessary suppression of reporting.To read the RSF report ‘National security as a weapon against journalism', click here: https://rsf.org/en/new-rsf-report-national-security-weapon-against-journalism Hosted on Acast.

Au Honduras, où les médias sont concentrés entre les mains de quelques puissants, une soixantaine de radios communautaires résistent, souvent dans la clandestinité. Marie Griffon et Célia Pousset nous emmènent à la rencontre de responsables de ces radios qui utilisent les ondes pour défendre leurs terres et leur culture malgré les menaces. « Waruguma signifie étoile, une étoile lumineuse qui sert de guide à tout le peuple. » Ainsi parle Horacio Martínez, directeur de la radio du même nom, à Trujillo. Dans un pays classé 132e sur 180 au classement mondial 2026 de la liberté de la presse de Reporters sans frontières (RSF), des petites stations comme Waruguma sont souvent le seul moyen pour les populations de s'informer hors des canaux officiels. Le Honduras est le pays le plus pauvre d'Amérique latine après Haïti, selon le Fonds monétaire international (FMI). Gangrené par la corruption et le crime organisé, le pays est aux mains d'une poignée de familles industrielles qui possèdent la quasi-totalité des journaux et télévisions. Face à cela, les radios communautaires s'efforcent d'informer dans les zones rurales isolée et deviennent parfois des cibles. Le défi de la légalité Pour exister, ces radios doivent faire preuve de courage. Au Honduras, les fréquences sont mises aux enchères et s'arrachent à des prix inaccessibles pour des associations. « Ici, dans le Nord, une fréquence a déjà été adjugée pour 12,5 millions de lempiras (plus de 400 000 euros) », explique Jorge Andino, directeur de Play FM. Pour ces médias sans publicité, impossible de réunion une telle somme. Résultat : la majorité des 70 radios communautaires du pays opèrent sans licence légale. « La communication communautaire n'est ni légitimée ni reconnue par l'État. C'est comme marcher en permanence sur la corde raide. C'est vivre à la limite », déplore Jorge Andino. Sans reconnaissance, ces radios risquent à tout moment la saisie de leur matériel, voire la prison pour leurs animateurs, sur simple dénonciation d'un homme d'affaires influent. Au manque de protection juridique s'ajoute la précarité technique. Dans les studios souvent installés chez l'habitant, on utilise des ventilateurs de fortune pour refroidir des émetteurs de faible puissance. Lors des orages, faute de paratonnerres, les stations doivent souvent couper l'antenne pour ne pas perdre leur unique outil de diffusion. Informer, au plus près des communautés Plus au sud, à la frontière avec le Nicaragua, la Radio Cholula Triunfeña ouvre son antenne aux paysans locaux. Ici, on insonorise les murs avec des dizaines de boîtes d'œufs collées les unes aux autres. Wilfredo Hernández Cruz, le directeur, y défend une parole sans artifice : « Parlez comme vous êtes, car c'est justement cela l'essentiel : que les habitants des zones rurales aient accès à un micro. » Mais cette liberté a un prix. Située dans une zone de trafic de drogue et de traite d'êtres humains, la radio dérange les pouvoirs économiques et mafieux en dénonçant les investissements opaques et les concessions minières. « Nous avons déjà perdu des camarades qui ont été attaqués, persécutés, réduits au silence », confie Wilfredo Cruz. Les menaces sont directes : appels anonymes, piratages de téléphones ou encore l'envoi d'une balle dans une boîte pour signifier à un journaliste de cesser ses enquêtes. Amanda Ponce, directrice de C Libre (Comité pour la libre expression), souligne que l'État hondurien a longtemps occulté cette réalité. « Il y a deux décennies d'assassinats de journalistes qui sont aujourd'hui complètement effacées par l'État », précise-t-elle. Depuis les années 1980, le schéma reste le même : éliminer ceux qui mettent en lumière la corruption et les liens entre banques, narcotrafic et pouvoir politique. L'héritage de Berta Cáceres Dans les montagnes froides de l'ouest, le peuple Lenca poursuit un combat emblématique. C'est ici que la célèbre militante écologiste Berta Cáceres a fondé la radio Guarajambala avant d'être assassinée en 2016. Pour le COPINH (Conseil civique des organisations populaires et indigènes du Honduras), la radio est l'un des seuls moyen de mobiliser les communautés contre les projets extractifs qui menacent leurs rivières. Aujourd'hui, une nouvelle génération prend le micro. Leiby, une journaliste de 25 ans, a été formée dans l'école Voix des Rivières créée par l'organisation. Pour elle, la mission est claire : « Nous dénonçons, nous devenons la voix des communautés. Nous sommes la voix des grandes injustices que nous subissons dans ce pays. » Malgré la violence, ces radios continuent tant bien que mal de diffuser. Elles font entendre des musique indigènes ou alternatives, des langues en recul comme le Garifuna, elles racontent l'histoire de ces communautés marginalisées et créent une solidarité qui dépasse désormais les frontières. En l'absence de médias nationaux lors de la commémoration de l'assassinat de Berta Caceres, ce sont des radios communautaires du Guatemala et du Costa Rica qui sont venues prêter main-forte à leurs sœurs honduriennes. Ces ondes, bien que fragiles, restent un espace où l'on peut « inviter les gens à rêver ». Dans un pays où certains tentent de les faire taire, les radios communautaires prouvent chaque jour que la parole radiodiffusée est un pouvoir que l'on ne peut pas totalement éteindre.

Fourteen million people displaced. Two out of every five people facing hunger. The largest humanitarian catastrophe on Earth — and barely a headline.In this episode, Dr. Crystallee Crain turns toward the war the world keeps looking away from: the civil war in Sudan, now grinding through its fourth year. True to form, she starts at the roots, not the wreckage — tracing the conflict from colonial rule and the Darfur genocide, through the stolen revolution of 2019, to the two generals now tearing the country in half. She walks through where the war stands in the summer of 2026: the massacre at El Fasher, the siege of El Obeid, the drone war killing civilians by the hundreds, and the famine being used as a weapon. Then she follows the money — the gold, the arms, and the foreign powers profiting while humanitarian appeals go unfunded — and closes with what prevention, accountability, and everyday solidarity actually look like from where we sit.Content note: This episode includes descriptions of violence, famine, and sexual violence.

A Sudanese court has sentenced the leader of the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF), Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo - known as Hemedti - to death for war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide over atrocities committed in the West Darfur region. Hemedti, along with 15 other senior RSF leaders were sentenced in absentia. We look at what this means for the RSF and its three-year civil war with the Sudan Armed Forces. And in Kenya, whistleblowers are tipping off police, helping authorities intervene before girls undergo female genital mutilation.

Sudan is facing one of the worst humanitarian catastrophes of the 21st century, yet much of the world is barely paying attention.In this episode, we examine the brutal civil war between the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), why many analysts argue this is no longer simply a civil war but a regional proxy conflict, and how foreign powers have helped fuel the violence.We explore the horrific massacres in El Geneina and El-Fasher, the looming threat facing El-Obeid, and why some observers fear another mass killing could be imminent. We also discuss the alleged role of the United Arab Emirates in supporting the RSF, the involvement of regional powers including Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Iran, and Libya, and why international efforts to stop the bloodshed have repeatedly fallen short.Most importantly, we ask why one of the world's largest humanitarian disasters has received so little global attention—and what could happen next if the violence continues unchecked.The origins of Sudan's civil warWho the RSF are and why they are so controversialThe massacres of El Geneina and El-FasherWhy El-Obeid may be the next humanitarian disasterThe role of the UAE and other foreign powersHow regional politics and proxy warfare are shaping the conflictWhy the international response has been so limitedAs the world focuses elsewhere, Sudan stands on the edge of an even greater tragedy. This episode seeks to understand how we got here—and why the consequences may be felt far beyond Sudan's borders.Content Warning: This episode contains discussions of war crimes, ethnic violence, genocide, and mass civilian casualties.#Sudan #Africa #Geopolitics #ProxyWar #HumanitarianCrisis #InternationalRelations #MiddleEast #CurrentAffairs #Podcast #WorldNews⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Substack⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Website⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Books⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Twitter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok

Voor het eerst benoemt het Europees Parlement in een aangenomen resolutie expliciet de betrokkenheid van de Verenigde Arabische Emiraten in Soedan. De door VAE gesteunde rebellengroep  RSF – omsingelt El Obeid, waar een half miljoen mensen gevangen zitten. Internationale organisaties waarschuwen voor: dit wordt Al Fasher 2.0, een massale slachting. Wat kan de internationale gemeenschap doen om dat scenario te voorkomen? We vragen het Anette Hoffmann, Soedan-expert verbonden aan Clingendael, en Marit Maij, Europees Parlementariër namens PRO.

The International Criminal Court says it has "concrete evidence" the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces committed crimes against humanity in Darfur during Sudan's civil war. The RSF says the scale of the atrocities in el-Fasher and el-Geneina has been exaggerated. Also: Iran attacks Gulf nations in response to a new wave of US strikes; Bangladesh battles a deadly measles outbreak; scientists warn that men's testosterone levels are declining; the last woman hanged in the UK gets a posthumous pardon; and the Wimbledon Fery tale continues.

Sudan's civil war may be entering another catastrophic phase. As I write this, a genocidal militia is massing outside a major city in Sudan, El Obeid. NGOs, the United Nations — and even Donald Trump's State Department — are warning of the potential of a major mass atrocity event should El Obeid fall. Yet, the attack appears imminent. In this episode of Global Dispatches, I speak with Mutasim Ali, Legal Advisor at the Raoul Wallenberg Centre for Human Rights, about the looming threat of mass atrocities in El Obeid, Sudan, as the Rapid Support Forces, the RSF, surround and besiege the city. Sudan's civil war has produced one of the world's worst humanitarian crises, and yet the international response has fallen far short of the scale of the emergency.  Mutasim Ali discusses the worsening conflict, the risk of mass atrocities, and why global expressions of concern have not translated into meaningful action. We discuss the dynamics driving the war, the international actors shaping the conflict, and why Sudan has struggled to command the sustained attention it urgently deserves.

A report by the rights group Amnesty International has further allegations of atrocities carried out by the Rapid Support Forces when they seized the city of El Fasher last October. The RSF has admitted abuses - but says they've been exaggerated. Also: China introduces a new law to promote ethnic harmony - but will it? Venezuelans want more equipment to search for the missing following two earthquakes last week. The Japanese yen falls to its lowest level against the US dollar in 40 years. And football players from the Netherlands have experienced racist abuse for failing to win a penalty shoot-out against Morocco.

In this episode, Breht sits down with Mohamed Khougali, author of Politically Unconscious: The Psychic Aftermath of the Sudanese Revolution (Iskra Books) for a sweeping and deeply illuminating conversation on Sudanese history, revolution, counterrevolution, and the current catastrophe unfolding in Sudan. Together, they discuss the 2018–19 Sudanese Revolution, how it erupted, what forces animated it, his direct participation in it, how it was contained, and what its aftermath reveals about the dynamics of counter-revolution and co-optation. Mohamed also walks us through the history of the revolutionary left in Sudan, from the period after independence through the rise and repression of the Sudanese Communist Party, and the weakened but still significant state of the Left today. Along the way, we touch on the civil war, Darfur, the RSF, the unfathomable human suffering and staggering acts of brutality taking place in Sudan, and why revolutionaries everywhere need a much deeper understanding of this country, its people, and its unfinished struggle for liberation. Politically Unconscious: The Psychic Aftermath of the Sudanese Revolution is Mohamed Khougali's reflection on what it means to organize and think after a revolution has been usurped. Written as both a participant in Sudan's 2018-19 uprising and a working psychotherapist, Khougali weaves together a history of the Sudanese Left, an account of the current war and the racialized financialization that informed the various factions, alongside the development of a new clinical modality he calls "praxis psychotherapy." Refusing the reductive binaries of international media coverage and the moral puritanism he sees paralyzing contemporary leftist thought, Khougali argues that Sudan cannot be understood apart from a longer "irrational revolution" linking Khartoum to Darfur, and Sudan to Palestine, through the same circuits of imperial accumulation and waste. At once political history and clinical experiment, Politically Unconscious is a work with lessons for comrades involved in the struggle; in Sudan, and far beyond.

In this episode, Professor Sahar Aziz is in conversation with award winning journalist Isma'il Kuskush about the complex origins, multiple domestic and foreign actors, and human rights crisis of Sudan's war. The ongoing power struggle between rival military elites is rooted in decades of militarization, failed democratic transition, and unresolved ethnic conflict. Its humanitarian consequences—mass displacement, famine risk, and widespread atrocities—have elevated it into one of the most severe human rights crises globally.The current war in Sudan began in April 2023, when fighting erupted between two factions of the country's security forces: the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF). The immediate trigger was a dispute over integrating the RSF into the national army as part of a planned transition to civilian rule after years of military dominance. A critical turning point occurred in 2019, when longtime dictator Omar al-Bashir was overthrown. A fragile civilian–military transition followed, but in October 2021, the SAF and RSF jointly staged a coup that derailed democratic reforms. Tensions between the two leaders then escalated into open conflict as both sought control over the state, economic resources (especially gold), and the future political system.The devastating war in Sudan has produced what many international organizations describe as the world's largest humanitarian crisis. Millions of civilians have been displaced, and basic infrastructure—healthcare, food distribution, and education—has collapsed in many regions.BiographyIsma'il Kushkush is a Sudanese-American journalist who was based in Khartoum, Sudan, for eight years, where he contributed to The New York Times, CNN, Voice of America and Al Jazeera English. For two three-month periods in 2014 and again in 2015, he was acting bureau chief for The New York Times in East Africa based in Nairobi. He has covered political, economic, social and cultural stories from Sudan, South Sudan, Kenya, Ethiopia, Somalia, Burundi, Sweden and the United States. He has also worked as a fixer, translator and interpreter. Kushkush grew up in the United States, Sudan, Syria and Kuwait. He received a master of arts degree in journalism from Columbia Journalism School in New York with a focus on politics and global affairs. He is a fluent Arabic-speaker.Recommended ReadingsIsma'il Kushkush,Leaving Khartoum(The New York Review 2025)Isma'il Kuskkush,Sudan's Journalists Risk Everything to Cover a War the World Ignores(Neiman Reports 2026)Isma'il Kushkush,Sudan's Uprising, Bashir's Fall, and My Father's Passing(The New Yorker 2019)#Sudan #HumanRights #Khartoum #CivilWar #UAE #EgyptSupport the showSupport the Center for Security, Race and Rights by following us and making a donation:Donate: https://give.rutgersfoundation.org/csrr-support/20046.html Subscribe to our Youtube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLEbUfYcWGZapBNYvCObiCpp3qtxgH_jFy Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/rucsrr Follow us on Instagram: https://instagram.com/rutgerscsrr Follow us on Threads: https://threads.com/rutgerscsrr Follow us on Facebook: https://facebook.com/rucsrr Follow us on TikTok: https://tiktok.com/rucsrr

Es ist einer der grössten und blutigsten Konflikte der Welt. 150'000 Zivilpersonen sind gestorben und 14 Millionen Menschen sind geflüchtet – rund ein Viertel der Bevölkerung. Die Vertreibungen im Sudan sind die Folge eines andauernden Kriegs zwischen zwei bewaffneten Gruppen: der sudanesischen Armee (SAF) und der Miliz Rapid Support Forces (RSF). Trotz seines Ausmasses wird der bewaffnete Konflikt im Sudan oft als «vergessenen Krieg» bezeichnet. Nur wenige Journalistinnen und Journalisten reisen in den Nordosten Afrikas. Einer davon ist der deutsche Schriftsteller und Reporter Navid Kermani. Er ist in den Sudan gereist, um von der Krise vor Ort zu berichten. Navid Kermani ist Gast in der neuesten Folge von «Apropos» und erzählt von seinen Eindrücken und Begegnungen im Sudan. Unter anderem berichtet er über den Einfluss von Drogen im Kriegsgeschehen, spricht von der Bedeutung der Musik und über die Rolle der Schweiz in diesem Konflikt.

In a bold move by Ankara, Turkey this week brought together Libya's two rival militaries for international exercises. While firmly supporting the Tripoli-based regime, Turkey is now extending an olive branch to the Benghazi administration, aiming to steady Libya and broaden its sway across the region. For the first time, Libya's two military forces participated internationally together under one flag. According to the Turkish defence ministry, 501 personnel from both Libyan armies joined Turkey's Efes 2026 military exercises. “There needs to be one unified army in Libya, one unified military force,” said Libya expert Aya Burweila of the Athens-based Centre for Hellenic and Mediterranean Studies. “I think these joint exercises help with that. They help facilitate closer cooperation with both sides, and that can only be a good thing.” Libya has been split since 2014, with the Government of National Unity ruling the west from Tripoli and the Government of National Stability holding the east in Benghazi. While Ankara has long championed Tripoli, analyst Burweila suggests that May's joint exercises signal a new Turkish push to engage with Benghazi. “This is a huge, practical pivot towards the east [by Turkey]. It has huge implications for Libya's stability. Turkey's position now is that it has good relations with both sides,” said Burweila. “It's not just joint military exercises. There are business interests, there are sales of weapons and drones, and so forth.”  Turkey and Italy boost cooperation in bid to shape Libya's political future Energy reserves For Ankara, courting the Benghazi administration, led by military commander Khalifa Haftar, is all about expanding Turkey's influence in the eastern Mediterranean, argues Jalel Harchaoui of the Royal United Services Institute, a London-based defence think tank.  Harchaoui said Ankara needs Haftar's support to enforce a 2019 memorandum of understanding that Turkey signed with the Tripoli administration to create a joint exclusive economic zone in Libyan waters.  “Now, if Ankara wants to enforce it, which it does, it needs to have the Haftar family on board,” Harchaoui explained. “The Haftar family can deliver on two very necessary things: the parliamentary ratification, because the parliament happens to be controlled by the Haftar family, and also the part of the coast that is involved in this arrangement is eastern Libya, not western Libya.” However, the Turkey-Libya exclusive economic zone, believed to have large untapped energy reserves, is strongly opposed by Greece and Cyprus, who claim it violates their territorial waters. Neighbouring Egypt and Israel have also voiced concerns. Haftar's eastern Libyan government shares their reluctance. “Eastern Libya has very good relations with Egypt and has cordial relations with Greece as well. And this memorandum, at least from their side, violates their rights,” explained Libya analyst Burweila.  She added: “I think what lots of Libyans feel is: 'this fight is not our fight. We don't want to be involved in this kind of dispute.' So while this is a big priority for Turkey, it is not a priority for Libyans, and I think everybody there would prefer to kick this can down the road.” Egypt and Turkey's closer ties spark hope for peace among Libya's rival factions Carrot and stick Throughout 2025, Ankara wooed Haftar and his son Saddam, chief of staff of the Libyan National Army, but saw little progress. According to analyst Harchaoui, Turkey has since toughened its stance, zeroing in on Haftar's late-year military backing of Sudan's Rapid Support Forces (RSF). Turkish-made combat drones have been pictured on airbases in southern Egypt, which like Turkey backs the Sudanese army in its fight against the paramilitary RSF. According to a New York Times investigation, they have been used for strikes in Sudan. “This was a new development,” said Harchaoui, “It was basically Turkey saying, 'I smiled for most of 2025, and you did nothing for me. And you will have seen two faces. You will have seen the carrot, obviously, but also the stick.'” In April, Turkey delivered a new batch of military drones to Haftar's army, continuing this carrot-and-stick policy. The Turkish defence ministry says it aims to hold further joint military exercises with both Libyan armies. While Turkey is stepping up its efforts to stabilise Libya, its goal of securing joint control of a huge swathe of the eastern Mediterranean threatens to drag the country further into an increasingly bitter regional rivalry.

Since 2023, Sudan has been engulfed by a brutal civil war. More than 150,000 people have been killed and millions have been displaced. The war began as a power struggle between the Sudanese military and the powerful paramilitary group the Rapid Support Forces (RSF). The capital Khartoum was the epicentre of the conflict. Millions fled as fighting wrecked the city. In 2025, the Sudanese military finally retook the capital from the RSF. One year on, Mohanad Hashim returns home to Khartoum to see how life is slowly returning to the battered city.This episode of The Documentary comes to you from Assignment, investigations and journeys into the heart of global events.

For a while now, Sudan's military government has been accusing Ethiopia and the United Arab Emirates of working with the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) in the Sudan war that entered its fourth year in April. Both the UAE and Addis Ababa have refuted that claim. An investigation by the Reuters news agency in January showed the presence of a secret training camp in Ethiopia allegedly used to train thousands of RSF fighters.

„Vo svete sa stmieva. Médiá, ktoré majú pozerať politikom na prsty, majú čoraz menší vplyv a spoločnosť sa díva do tmavej priepasti“, hovorí Pavol Szalai z medzinárodnej novinárskej organizácie Reportéri bez hraníc (RSF). Hodnotí pritom najnovší index slobody tlače vo svete, ktorý RSF pripravuje už od roku 2002. „V roku 2002 v krajinách s najvyššou úrovňou slobody tlače žilo 20 % populácie, dnes je to menej ako 1 %. Podiel krajín so zlou situáciou vzrástol zo 14 % na dnešnú väčšinu“, dopĺňa.Zákony ako zbraň, nepriateľská politická rétorika ako slučka, ktorá dusí a tlak ekonomiky.Sloboda médií vo svete padla na historické minimum – a Slovensko nie je mimo tohto trendu. Najnovší index organizácie Reportéri bez hraníc ukazuje, že tlak na novinárov rastie aj v zabehnutých demokraciách. Zákony, politika aj ekonomika médií dnes čoraz viac rozhodujú o tom, čo sa verejnosť dozvie a čo nie.Kde je v tomto obraze Slovensko a čo sa za posledné roky zmenilo? A najmä – ide len o výkyv, alebo o dlhodobejší problém, ktorý môže zásadne ovplyvniť fungovanie demokracie?Pozrieme sa na to s Pavlom Szalaiom z Reportérov bez hraníc.

Editorial note: This conversation was recorded on Friday, April 24, the day before the White House Correspondents' Dinner. Both Nico and Clayton attended the event, where a gunman breached security and opened fire before being apprehended. No one was seriously injured, but the incident serves as a reminder of the threats reporters can face in the course of their work. Since we recorded the conversation before the shooting, Nico and Clayton do not address it, but the incident underscores the stakes of their discussion. — In 2020, Reporters Without Borders launched the Uncensored Library, a virtual archive housed inside Minecraft, the world's most popular computer game. It preserves the work of journalists who have faced censorship, imprisonment, exile, or even death. In countries where their reporting is banned, Minecraft itself is not, making the library a digital sanctuary for suppressed journalism that millions can still access. In March 2026, the project added a United States wing, reminding Americans that subtler, less direct threats to a free press happen everywhere – even at home. With today's release of the 2026 World Press Freedom Index and World Press Freedom Day approaching on May 3, we're unpacking the state of press freedom with Clayton Weimers, the executive director of Reporters Without Borders USA.

En su informe anual, Reporteros Sin Fronteras alerta sobre un deterioro acelerado de la libertad de prensa en el continente americano. "Países antes considerados seguros caen en el ranking, se multiplican las agresiones y el crimen organizado unido al poder político estrecha el cerco sobre los periodistas", advierte la vocera de RSF, Elena García. Según el informe anual que Reporteros Sin Fronteras (RSF) publicó este jueves 30 de abril y que incluye 180 países, la libertad de prensa en el mundo atraviesa una crisis profunda. El mapa de riesgos en las Américas se ha reconfigurado: territorios que solían ser referencia de relativa seguridad para el ejercicio del periodismo se han convertido en espacios donde se informa bajo amenaza.  Elena García, vocera de RSF, resume el panorama regional con una advertencia contundente: “Desde el 2022, el continente americano desciende 14 puntos. Esto es una tendencia bastante alarmante para Reporteros Sin Fronteras”.  Durante años, Venezuela (160), Nicaragua (172), Cuba (165) o México (122) fueron sinónimo de alerta para el gremio periodístico. Hoy, RSF advierte que a esa lista se suman Estados que hasta hace poco no aparecían como motivo de preocupación. La inquietud comienza en Estados Unidos, en la posición 64, donde la relación del gobierno de Donald Trump con la prensa marcó un punto de inflexión. La vocera recuerda las “numerosas frases denigrantes hacia periodistas y especialmente hacia periodistas mujeres".  También "han impedido a agencias internacionalmente conocidas como Associated Press acreditarse para asistir a los briefings de prensa de la Casa Blanca”. En paralelo, se debilitaron estructuras de medios públicos y se reforzó un clima de deslegitimación hacia el oficio periodístico. Un reportero vivió incluso en carne y hueso la política migratoria de Trump: el salvadoreño Mario Guevara, detenido y posteriormente deportado. En América Latina, la violencia contra la prensa tiene múltiples rostros. RSF insiste en que no se trata solo de agresiones criminales, sino también de discursos oficiales que estigmatizan a los periodistas y de decisiones políticas que golpean el ecosistema mediático en países donde los gobiernos se ha vuelto seguidores del modelo Trump. Argentina (puesto 98/180) ha perdido once posiciones en la clasificación global. García vincula esta caída a “una retórica agresiva y violenta hacia los periodistas y al cierre de la agencia de prensa Télam por decisión del gobierno de Javier Milei”, una medida que considera simbólica del retroceso en la protección de la información pública. El Salvador figura también entre los países que retroceden. La figura de Nayib Bukele, descrito por RSF como uno de los líderes que adoptan estrategias comunicacionales similares a las de Trump, coloca al país en posición 143 sobre 180. Ecuador, por su parte, protagoniza la caída más abrupta de la región en el ranking de RSF, con un desplome de 31 posiciones, llegando al puesto 125. El asesinato de los periodistas Darwin Baque y Patricio Aguilar simboliza hasta qué punto la violencia se ha naturalizado como herramienta de silenciamiento. “El caso de Ecuador es representativo de una tendencia que vemos en toda América Latina: el aumento de la violencia perpetrada por el crimen organizado y por fuerzas políticas, con injerencias cada vez mayores en los medios”, explica la vocera. A este mapa se suma Perú (144), que entra en una zona de riesgo extremo para la libertad de prensa. García recuerda que “se recrudece la violencia y se registran cuatro asesinatos de periodistas en 2025, lo que ha afectado, por supuesto, a la plaza de Perú en la clasificación, que pierde 14 posiciones con respecto al año pasado”. Para RSF, es “otro ejemplo de la violencia a la que se tienen que enfrentar los periodistas en América Latina para poder seguir ejerciendo su trabajo”.

Ella Rule, former Chair of the CPGB-ML delivers a presentation on the history of Sudan, from colonialism and liberation through to the present. Southall Seminar with Joti Brar and Mohamad Hassan. Delivered 3rd April 2026. Who are the Rapid Support Forces? Who is funding them? Why when Iran struck the UAE during the “40 day Ramadan War” could the RSF no longer fight and cause chaos in Sudan? Qui Bono? Who benefits from the dent slavery and conflict that is making the lives of the Sudanese people miserable? Which side should we support? What is the path that the people of Sudan must take to achieve liberation and how can we support them? Victory to the Axis of Resistance! Victory to Iran! Victory to Palestine! Down with Anglo-American imperialism, their genocidal Zionist colony, and their disgusting stooge Arab regimes; Qatar, UAE, Kuwait and Saudi Arabia!

Last October, the war in Sudan took a new turn with the capture of El Fasher by the Rapid Support Forces. The city in western Sudan had been under siege by the RSF for more than two years before the Sudanese armed forces suddenly withdrew. After taking control of El Fasher, the RSF began to carry out a massacre of civilians. A UN fact-finding mission recently found that the crimes in El Fasher bore “hallmarks of genocide.” The Sudanese catastrophe is all the more depressing because it comes after a brief moment of greater political openness and optimism after the ousting of a dictator in 2019. Joshua Craze joins Long Reads to discuss the evolution of the conflict in Sudan and its likely future. Joshua has written many articles about the politics of Sudan and South Sudan for publications such as the New Statesman, the New York Review of Books, and Jacobin.
