Suffering in silence: it’s time to step up action for the Sahel

As the world looks on in dismay at the violence in Ukraine, a slow-burning but deadly crisis continues out of the global spotlight in West Africa’s Sahel region. In an op-ed published in Le Monde, heads of several UN and non-UN entities make the case for taking action to help the people of Sahel.

The op-ed written by Humanitarian Relief Chief, Martin Griffiths; World Food Programme Executive Director, David Beasley; Food and Agriculture Organization Director-General Qu Donguy; Chief Executive Officer of the New Partnership for Africa’s Development, Dr. Ibrahim Hassane Mayaki; Europe Union (EU) Commissioner for International Partnerships, Jutta Urpilainen, and EU Commissioner for Crisis Management Janez Lenarcic  is available on Medium.
