    Key Takeaways:

    • The crisis in Sudan is one of the most severe humanitarian crises currently, greatly affecting food security and leading to profound suffering and displacement.
    • Ethiopia's historical and ongoing struggles with enforced migration and its civil conflicts have led to the weaponization of food, severely impacting ethnic populations.
    • The decimation of SNAP benefits in the US highlights domestic food insecurity, emphasizing that hunger is not just a third-world issue.
    • Women's experiences during conflicts reveal brutal realities, making grassroots empowerment, particularly through education, essential for systemic change.
    • Sustained hope and action, rather than resignation, are critical to combatting global genocide and human rights violations; every small action counts.

    • The historical atrocities in the DRC, notably under King Leopold II, mark one of the darkest periods of colonial brutality, which are often overshadowed by other global events.
    • Robust leadership and education are essential in addressing the ongoing ethnic conflicts and leveraging the DRC's natural resources for genuine national benefit.
    • The environmental significance of the Congo's forests plays a crucial role in global ecological balance, demanding protection from international exploitation.
    • A call for reparations and a more substantial role for international bodies in holding former colonial powers accountable for their historic actions.
    • Empowerment of local women and communities through education and advocacy is fundamental in transitioning towards a peaceful and prosperous Congo.
