Civil Unrest in Sudan: Africa Diaspora Humanitarian Services call for immediate intervention:
Africa Diaspora Union (AfriDU) calls on Sudan government for ceasefire, implores The United Nations to intervene while calling on Nigerian government and government of other African countries to quickly evacuate their citizens from the country of Sudan. This statement was contained in the press briefing given by their Director of Africa Diaspora Humanitarian Services, Ambassador Dr Success Ebije Omada on Monday,the 24th of April,2023 in Abuja during his visit to Gwarimpa, Abuja to ascertain the causes and effects of the crisis involving the Gbaghi community and a group of Keke riders who are mainly Hausas.
Dr Success Ebije Omada believes that it is high time Africa prizes her citizenship like the American government does stating that if citizens of African countries are made to understand that their governments value them they will be more concerned about issues relating to the growth and development of their societies. Dr Success Ebije Omada said that the growth and development of any country is a function of the inputs of her citizens and the inputs of these citizens are directly proportional to the commitments of their governments in respect to their social welfare. He said that African societies have the potential to be as great as Singapore, United Arab Emirates, Canada, and other developed societies of the world and that the attitude of African governments to her citizenry is the bane of her development.
Dr Success Ebije Omada stated further that African government should always respond promptly to emergencies involving her citizens and when they do so,they should do so with maximum commitment to the welfares of the citizens involved stating that these gestures send the right information to other African citizens that their governments love and embrace them and thereby cause them to develop attachment and passion necessary for patriotism and nationalism.
Dr Success Ebije Omada also uses the opportunity to call on all Non- Governmental organizations in Africa to rally round Africa especially during emergency like this. He said that no government can do it all alone and the contribution of individual groups like the NGOs will further strengthen the effectiveness of service delivery of government to her citizens.
With him on an official visit to the site of the crisis in Gwarimpa Abuja are Dr Ibenna Nwachukwu, Emmanuel OE Ibrahim, Dr Ogechukwu Rose Ogwuaku, Benjamin Attah Matthew, Peter Idoma, Matthew O Aloysius, among others.
