Latest Updates from Concordis (July 2025)
Can I put out a prayer request for Concordis for this week? One of our teams is hosting a very significant, but high-risk peace conference this week, in Mershing, South Darfur.
Success will mean food can be grown and harvested, transported and traded, at a time when 20-25 million Sudanese people face man-made famine in the course of the ongoing war.
Success will also mean that our highly impactful community level peacebuilding will start to influence the international peace process, which is currently stalled.
If it fails, people’s experience of the war in Darfur will take a significant turn for the worse.
Powerful people don’t want a peace agreement, and there’s a very real risk that participants may be attacked, either at the conference or travelling there or back.
This peace conference has been a year in the making, working alongside our network of 315 local peacemakers.
We are at the point now where the leaderships of twelve key tribes are ready for talks. These leaders are taking enormous risks in travelling, but they’re coming because it is important to them: these are issues of life and death for their communities. And they want us to facilitate these talks.
This is also a rare opportunity for people close to the three warlords operating in the area to meet. General Hemedti will send representatives from the Rapid Support Force (RSF). Mini Minawi and Abdel Wahid, both potential king-makers who control significant swathes of Darfur, will send civilian proxies.
This is a pretty big deal for us. If prayer is your thing, do please send one up for us.
Thank you for standing with us at this time. We really appreciate your support and I’ll let you know how it all goes.
Go well.
