The annual report released Wednesday by Amnesty International paints a dismal picture of human rights repression and international rule-breaking worldwide, all in the midst of deepening global inequality and an escalating climate crisis.
Harare, Zimbabwe —
"We are mainly concerned with the issue of repression of dissent, which we noted, which was characterized by the severe restrictions in freedom of expression, association and peaceful assembly, particularly during the election period," said Masuka."We are also concerned with the cases that are lost after the elections, cases of abductions, torture and in some cases, you know, killings where the perpetrators are not apprehended or brought to account.
"We really do not have much respect for what they have to say, because they do not speak from a point of impartiality, they do not speak from a point of objectivity, and we cannot serve our people and our nation at the same time and attend to agendarists," said Marapira."So, they are free to say what they want as usual, we will tell them what to do of it."
Muchena noted that the conflict in Sudan has led to a major displacement internally. According to the United Nations, more than 9 million people have been internally displaced since April 2023, making Sudan the largest displacement crisis in the world.There was a problem processing your submission.

"Survivors and victims of this war in Ethiopia have faced horrendous human rights violations and neglect by Ethiopian authorities despite their persistent calls for justice," said Muchena."After the guns were silenced in the Tigray region in 2022, two other armed conflicts in Oromia and Amara region continue to rage."
