I’ve written to Keir Starmer and Yvette Cooper demanding urgent action to ensure the safety of the Global Sumud Flotilla. 52 boats carrying aid and peace activists to Gaza.

The UK must act to assure their safety.

Israel is committing a genocide. All eyes are on this flotilla.
Rt Hon Keir Starmer MP Prime Minister Rt Hon Yvette Cooper MP Foreign Secretary Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office 24th September, 2025   Dear Prime Minister and Foreign Secretary, I am writing to you with urgency regarding the Global Sumud Flotilla (GSF), which is currently attempting to bring desperately needed aid to Gaza. The flotilla is made up of 52 boats, carrying humanitarian supplies and peace activists determined to support civilians facing unimaginable suffering. Reports have already emerged of explosions, unidentified objects being dropped near the vessels, drones circling overhead, and communications being jammed. These are deeply concerning developments. We know from past experience that when Israel smears peace activists with unfounded claims of links to Hamas, it is often a precursor to violent attacks. The UK Government must make it absolutely clear that these boats, carrying only aid and peaceful activists, must be treated safely and in line with inte

USA does and has done objectionable things in the world. It has its covert, clandestine, intelligence, and military operations. To say that USAID in any recent incarnation does anything other than humanitarian assistance, long-term development, peace- / resilience-building, is flat-out wrong.

Canada is horrified by the attacks in El Fasher and condemns the reported mass killing of over 2,000 civilians. We urge all parties to uphold international law, protect civilians, and allow the unimpeded passage of humanitarian aid immediately. Canada will continue to support the people of Sudan, as we have since the conflict began, including through the $64M in humanitarian assistance, $24.8M in peace and stabilization assistance and $14.5M in development assistance that we announced earlier this year.

The UK cannot claim ignorance. British-made arms are being found in Sudan, where mass atrocities are unfolding.

I’ve written to the Foreign Secretary urging an immediate suspension of all arms exports to the UAE and urgent diplomatic action to stop the violence:
House of Commons headed paper: The Rt Honourable Yvette Cooper MP Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs Sent via email 11 November 2025 Dear Foreign Secretary, Re: The Humanitarian Crisis in Sudan I am writing to express deep concern over the catastrophic humanitarian crisis unfolding in Sudan. Since the outbreak of war in 2023, the country has descended into one of the world's most severe humanitarian disasters. Recent reports of mass killings by the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) in El Fasher, where thousands are believed to have been slaughtered, are horrifying. Satellite imagery now shows vast bloodstained patches of land marking the scale of these atrocities. These massacres are only the latest in a long series of brutal crimes committed against Sudanese civilians. The estimated death toll now stands at around 150,000, with over 13 million people displaced - nearly nine million of them within Sudan's borders'. More than half of those affected are children. The magnitude of this suffering should stir the conscience of any government that professes to defend human rights and international law. Yet despite these horrors, your government continues to export arms to the United Arab Emirates - a state that, according to multiple credible reports, including from the United Nations, has been supplying weapons to the RSF2. UN Security Council documents indicate that British-made arms have been found in Sudan'. The UK cannot claim ignorance: these atrocities are occurring in plain sight. The Labour government has both a moral and legal obligation to immediately suspend all arms exports to the UAE where there is a clear risk that British weapons may be used to commit or facilitate war crimes and crimes against humanity. Instead of enabling further violence, the UK should use its diplomatic influence to support peace. It must press all parties to agree to an immediate and comprehensive ceasefire and to engage in a credible political process that lays the groundwork for lasting stability and justice in Sudan. I urge you to take decisive action and look forward to your response on these urgent matters. Yours sincerely, Zarah Sultana MP Member of Parliament for Coventry South

🌍 HDP Nexus: Humanitarian Action, Development & Peace

🌍 HDP Nexus: Humanitarian Action, Development & Peace On 22–23 Sept. at the Austrian Centre for Peace, I joined discussions on developing Austria’s HDP Nexus guidelines under the Government Programme 2025–2029. 🔑 Key takeaways: • Austria has many instruments — the challenge is better coordination. • Prevention, early warning & foresight should come before escalation. • No one-size-fits-all 33/33/33 model. • Local needs must remain at the centre. • Joint assessments can help break institutional silos. • Conflicting goals — security, human rights, migration & development — need transparent discussion. • Crisis preparedness requires clear responsibilities, capacities, partners, funding & legal frameworks.

The UN was founded to 'keep peace and security', 'promote co-operation', 'protect human rights', 'provide humanitarian aid', 'support development' 'address global challenges'.
