Who Bears the Cr isis? A Tribunal on Climate and Sudan

While we talk about t he future, Sudan’s present is disappearing. Since 2023, war has torn the c ountry apart: more than 150,000 people killed, 11 million displaced, and m ore than half of the population facing hunger. But beneath this war lies a second crisis that is rarely mentioned: the climate crisis, which has bee n putting increasing pressure on land, water, and livelihoods for years, w hile also fueling violence. In the international climate debate, Sudan rem ains virtually invisible. We want to change that.

On November 21, we will put that silence on trial. Instead of a panel discussion with polite disagreements, there will be a confrontational tribunal: a moderator who theatrically opens the case, three prominent prosecutors who each bring ev idence to the table from their own area of expertise, and an audience that actively helps decide the outcome. Each statement addresses a different l ayer of the same question: who is responsible for what is happening to Sud an today? The West, which emitted greenhouse gases for decades and is now passing the bill on? Governments and power structures that are failing the mselves? International networks that profit from war and natural resources ? Or “the system,” that vague, nameless entity behind which everyone can h ide?

The answer to the question of responsibility will also shape Su dan’s future.

After each statement, the audience will receive a red and a green card. Do you agree, or not? There is no sitting back and watch ing, because as a global citizen and participant, you become part of the j ury—and your verdict counts.

We will close with an open microphone: a space for everyone in the room to briefly share their own plea or perspe ctive. This conversation is for anyone who believes that looking away is n o longer an option.

Colonialism, climate change, and war are not sep arate chapters; they are the same case, one that has so far only been view ed from different witness stands. Here, we turn that around. We ask you to judge, because this is your world too.

Come, watch, cast yo ur vote, and speak out. Who bears the crisis? You decide Sudan’s future.

This program is created by three young makers:

Hadeel El Mobashr is a student, photographer, and board member o f Sudan Connect, where she works to raise awareness about Sudan.

Saffa Khalil is a PhD candidate at Erasmus University, where she researches Black radical traditions, transnational solidarity, and al ternative media as spaces of knowledge. She has a background in African St udies, History, and Heritage & Memory. She is also an activist and has previously contributed to programs focused on Sudan.

Zahra Sebbar is a master’s student in Political Science and Internation al Relations, as well as a writer and speaker. She connects people’s lived experiences with the systems of government and public administration, dra wing in part on her experience with the Dutch childcare benefits scandal. In 2026, she was selected by Het Parool as one of Amsterdam’s 26 youngest talents. She is co-founder of Stichting (Gelijk)waardig Herstel and RiSE.< /p>

All three approach this from a diasporic perspective or a shared poi nt of connection: not talking about Sudan, but drawing on the knowledge an d experiences of people who are directly connected to it.
