Who Speaks for Darfur?

:In this episode, I speak with Adam Mousa, Executive Director of the Darfur Victims Support Organization (DVSO), about the realities of war, humanitarian response, and civilian survival in Darfur.Drawing on his experience as an activist, humanitarian worker, and community organizer, Adam discusses the challenges facing communities affected by Sudan's ongoing war, including displacement, food insecurity, the collapse of basic services, and the growing impact of drone warfare on civilian populations.We also explore Adam's critique of the international humanitarian system, the gap between the rhetoric of localization and the realities faced by frontline Sudanese organizations, and the difficulties of delivering aid in a country increasingly shaped by fragmented authority and parallel systems of governance.This conversation is part of our ongoing effort to amplify voices that are too often absent from international discussions about Sudan. Whether you agree with Adam's analysis or not, his perspective offers a rare insight into how conflict, humanitarian response, and the future of Darfur are understood by someone working directly with affected communities.Darfur Victims Support Organization (DVSO)DVSO Report: Documenting Drone Strikes in the Darfur Region.Aiding & Abetting is a podcast about the politics, power, and contradictions of humanitarian aid.Hosted by humanitarian worker and researcher Tom Colley, the series explores how aid really works, who benefits from it, and why efforts to help can sometimes reinforce the inequalities they seek to address.Through conversations with aid workers, activists, researchers, and community leaders, the podcast examines the colonial legacies, political interests, and institutional incentives that shape humanitarian response today.Produced by Karama, a network supporting locally led mutual aid initiatives across conflict-affected regions, Aiding & Abetting offers an honest, critical look at humanitarianism and explores what a more accountable, community-led future could look like.
