Sudan Crisis Update
A new year in Sudan has delivered no relief to the country’s dangerous political crisis.
A new year in Sudan has delivered no relief to the country’s dangerous political crisis that began with the illegal coup in October 2021. With the recent resignation of Prime Minister Abdalla Hamdok, the heads of Sudan’s brutal security forces are back in full control, with no facades.
The results of the regime’s illegal and dangerous actions are catastrophic: over 60 Sudanese in major cities have been murdered and countless more injured as pro-democracy protests continue picking up steam. The far-from-complete economic turnaround is reversing. The peace process with armed opposition forces in Sudan’s bloodied periphery, where regime-backed violence is surging once more, has stalled.
While the now defunct transitional governing process in Sudan was always flawed, one of the tangible benefits was a noticeable reduction in regime violence against unarmed and peaceful civilians. Those days are gone. Hamdok’s resignation was arguably the only real choice he had. There was no clear path forward due to the military’s intransigence; however, his resignation has put the security forces and civilians in direct confrontation once more. There is no obvious technical solution now.
What Happens Next?
Despite the harsh realities of the moment, Sudan’s coup plotters seem to be unaware that they’re playing an old game in a new time. A new generation of leaders is on the ascendant in Sudan, intimately aware of how these generals operate. They grew up knowing only regime rule and have tasted freedom. For them, there is no going back.
The Sudanese people are left with no reasons to desire a return to a transitional period. And why would they? The military was supposed to play an important role in transitioning Sudan to a fledgling democracy. Instead, the generals stabbed the Sudanese people in the back, and they did so right before the transitional constitution required that they begin handing power to their civilian counterparts. One can easily understand why protesters now demand full civilian rule. In many ways, they’re already supposed to have it.
For the generals, there are no personal incentives —long the driving force behind their decision-making— for their stepping aside. There shouldn’t be any either, something both the pro-democracy movement and much of the international community seems to realize. Incentives provided in the past have been pocketed for private gain, with progress for ordinary Sudanese ultimately blocked in the end. The question now is what effective international pressures can be brought to bear on the regime, and how can it be done in such a way that the Sudanese people are shielded from further harm.
The full ramifications of this moment for Sudan are yet to be seen, but what is at stake now extends far beyond the country’s porous borders. To the west, in Chad and Libya, it is an open secret that paramilitaries belonging to the regime’s powerful Rapid Support Forces (RSF) are deployed as mercenaries for various actors in those countries. The RSF is also driving much of the renewed violence in Darfur, two coupled realities which —when followed to their logical conclusion— only spell further chaos in those two countries.
Meanwhile, to the east with Ethiopia, the still unresolved issues related to the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam and violent disputes over border areas threatens to escalate. And with the transitional government now defunct, the Sudanese government is essentially absent from the peace process in South Sudan. The two countries have several outstanding border disputes that have descended into armed conflict before. Underneath the urgent threat of military rule in Sudan for the foreseeable future, the risk of further violence in these areas is almost certain to escalate.
In moments like these, the only choice is to enter dialogue or pursue the path of mass violence. The nature of this dynamic should make such a choice an illusion and, to be sure, many seem to understand that. The pro-democracy movement and much of the international community desires a peaceful and just resolution to a crisis they did not start. In fact, the United Nations is beginning consultations to try to salvage this mess.
Sadly, the generals sitting across the table have a long history of murdering, raping, and maiming first and not asking questions later. At this moment, there are no signs this historical reality has changed, leaving Sudan’s future mired in a murky uncertainty.
Freedom, peace, and justice has long been the clarion call rising up from the streets of Khartoum to the displacement camps in Darfur, from the long-persecuted Nuba Mountains to the oft-forgotten and oppressed east. That future is still possible, but only if the international community and globally-minded citizens join hands with the Sudanese as they push for change.
How You Can Help
Operation Broken Silence is the only nonprofit in the world funding community-led education in Yida Refugee Camp, right outside of Sudan. Without the Endure Primary and Renewal Secondary Schools, the entire education system would collapse.

Farewell 2021
An end of year message from Operation Broken Silence's Executive Director.
As we prepare to enter a new year, I want to express the sincere gratitude of our team and Sudanese partners to you: our wonderful supporters.
This was a quiet year of rebuilding following the chaos of 2020. Together, we made slow and steady progress in our fundraising, returning our Sudanese program partners to roughly 70% of pre-pandemic funding levels. Here are just a few highlights we should all be proud of:
Teachers at the Endure Primary and Renewal Secondary Schools in Yida Refugee Camp are serving more students than ever before. Daily attendance is temporarily down due to population movements, so teachers from Renewal Secondary have temporarily taken over operations at Yida’s only other struggling secondary school. Endure Primary is now serving as the central national exam preparation facility for primary students in Yida, positively impacting an additional 2,100+ students every year. Read more here.
Known COVID-19 cases are still relatively low in the Nuba region, with the talented local team at Mother of Mercy Hospital running a PCR testing machine. The hospital staff have remained busy all year as international medical teams visited, new construction projects were completed, and groundwork was laid for a clinical officer training program. Learn more.
This December alone, you have raised and given over $55,000 toward these impactful programs, special one-time projects, and our Endowment Fund. And we’re aware that some last minute checks are still en route. What an incredible display of generosity!
Because of you, we are well-positioned to continue our mission of building a global movement to empower the Sudanese people through these innovative programs in 2022.
As we move into 2022, here’s a glimpse at what lies ahead:
Building a multi-village clean water system and new secondary school on the western side of the oppressed Nuba Mountains region. Both projects will be used by these communities as building blocks to improve the lives of roughly 16,000 people who have lived through decades of war.
Creating a dedicated online space for competitive NFT fundraising, with a portion of minting fees, secondary sales, and auctions being used to fuel the programs we support in Sudan. We’ve already entered two NFT project partnerships and are in discussions with another nine right now.
While we will not be having a gala in 2022, we are eagerly looking forward to returning to an in-person 5K in the Fall.
An updated merch store is coming in Spring 2022!
As we stand on the cusp of a new year and the hope that comes with it, would you consider making one final tax-deductible donation to Operation Broken Silence? Your gift will set up Sudanese teachers and healthcare professionals for success in 2022.
Like many of you, I’m excited for what lies ahead. I hope you have a safe and joyful entrance to a new year. Take care.
Onward,
Mark C. Hackett
Executive Director
Matched Gifts To Our Endowment Fund
As 2021 comes to an end, we’re highlighting a special giving opportunity for the long-term sustainability of our mission.
As 2021 comes to an end, we’re highlighting a special giving opportunity for the long-term sustainability of our mission.
Friends and supporters,
Our mission of helping Sudanese change makers create a better Sudan is the work of a lifetime, if not longer. No matter what happens —be it a global pandemic, a military coup, or something else outside of our control— we need to always have financial resources at our disposal to keep our doors open to our Sudanese partners.
This is why Operation Broken Silence self-started an Endowment Fund in 2016. It was an unusual step for a nonprofit to take, and we got more than a few raised eyebrows at the time. One question that I’ll never forget receiving was “If the needs in Sudan are so great today, how can y’all justify asking people to give to a fund that won’t immediately help?”
It was a fair question with a simple answer: our Sudanese partners value reliability. They need to know that we’ll always be there, even when the going gets rough. Having an Endowment Fund is the only way to build long-term reliability into our mission.
In March 2020, COVID-19 ground giving to a halt as we cancelled critical events, closed our office, and went remote. Our Endowment Fund gave us space to adapt, launch new fundraising efforts, and help our Sudanese partners continue their work with minimal disruption. Simply put, our Endowment Fund worked in a time of extreme crisis.
One of our biggest supporters noticed how useful this fund is. Earlier this year, they offered to match all donations made to our Endowment Fund, up to $25,000 total. As of the time of this posting, roughly $11,500 of the matching gift remains.
Here are a few ways you can help us claim these remaining funds and put them to work for our mission.

Our top priority has always been meeting the needs of our Sudanese partners. That isn’t changing, but we must ensure that our Endowment Fund is always slowly growing in the background. Our effectiveness as an organization is largely dependent on our reliability.
I hope you’ll consider joining me in making a matched donation right now. This is an easy way to help our mission grow more resilient over the long haul. Happy holidays.

Endowment Fund FAQ
What is the Endowment Fund and how does it work?
Our Endowment is made up of a series of strategic investments, including a mutual fund, cryptocurrencies, and cash savings. Earned dividends and interest are used to support our mission, with the principal remaining largely untouched. These investments are overseen by our Board Treasurer, Executive Director, and Certified Financial Planner. Our various holdings are with Shoemaker Financial and the Gemini Trust Exchange.
What happens after I make a donation to the Endowment Fund?
It depends on your giving method. The first thing that happens though is that you receive a donation receipt for giving confirmation and tax purposes.
If you give cash, your generosity is deposited into a business advantage savings account and starts earning interest. Once a certain amount of donations arrive, those gifts are invested in a mutual fund. At that point, your gift starts generating a much higher level of quarterly and annual dividends, effortlessly multiplying your impact on our mission year after year.
If you donate an investment, such as a stock or cryptocurrency, we will evaluate the long-term quality of your gift. It may be kept as is or sold and reinvested elsewhere in line with our investment strategy.
How much of all donations given annually are allocated to the Endowment Fund?
The only donations that are invested are ones in which the donor intentionally gives to the Endowment Fund. This can be done through a specific giving form, posts like this one, or through direct communication with our staff. No portion of general or program-specific donations are allocated to the Endowment Fund.
What are the best ways to give to the Endowment Fund?
Donating stock, mutual funds, or cryptocurrencies are preferred giving methods. These can be the most tax-efficient ways to give, especially if you have held an investment for longer than one year. By making a charitable gift, you may be eligible to significantly reduce what you would otherwise owe in capital gains taxes. As with any tax-related questions, be sure to consult a qualified professional tax advisor.

Yida Education Update - December 2021
Get the latest news from the schools in Yida Refugee Camp!
In 2015, Operation Broken Silence began funding four Sudanese teachers in Yida Refugee Camp. They were giving lessons underneath a tree with a single, broken chalkboard.
With your support, their small effort has blossomed into the Endure Primary and Renewal Secondary Schools. Over 24 Nuba teachers come to work here every day. They run the show —not us— and roughly 1,400 students are in their classrooms every week.
Endure Primary is now the top performing elementary school in the region and a treasured possession of the Nuba community. More than 6,500 children have been served by the school to date. Renewal Secondary began a three-year phased opening in 2019 and has already scored some early successes.
One of the largest demographics in Yida is children under the age of 16. The teachers’ vision has always been to ensure that every single child in Yida has the opportunity to attain a quality education.
Student Spotlight
Abdu was born and raised in Yida Refugee Camp. His mother arrived in Yida in 2015 —roughly four months into her pregnancy—after fleeing the Sudanese government’s relentless bombing of her village. Abdu has grown up never seeing his family and community’s land.
But he has found a home in Yida. The camp is a relatively safe place and, following nine months of being on the wait list for the Endure Primary School, Abdu began his education journey in 2020. He says:
“My friends are here. I am learning how to read. My mother is happy that I am here. She tells me I would not be able to go to school in our village because it was bombed.”
Abdu’s family will begin talking about returning home when there is a peace agreement, something his mother is insistent must be signed first. Until then, their future is in Yida, where Abdu and hundreds of other children are already thinking about a brighter future for their country.
Attendance Fluctuations
It’s an interesting season at the schools as some families have decided to depart Yida and attempt to recover their land in the Nuba Mountains.
Attendance at Endure Primary has dropped to a little over 700 students daily, although numbers are already ticking back up as new students enroll following an academic assessment by the teachers. It’s common to find students of various ages in all grade levels at the school, as the war and school openings and closings over the past decade have severely disrupted the childhood education journey. Rather than placing children who have been out of school for years in a grade based on their age, they are placed based on previous academic experience.
Similarly, attendance at Renewal Secondary has dropped to just over 200 students daily, down roughly 30% from the normal soft-opening phase number of 300-350 students per semester. New students are already enrolling to fill empty spots as well.
Secondary Exam Results
After multiple delays brought on by COVID-19, national exam results are finally in for Renewal Secondary. Out of the 130 students who participated, 118 passed! This was the first time that students from Renewal Secondary took the final exam that allows for graduation.
English comprehension, specifically writing, was the primary struggle for the 12 students who did not pass. The teachers are currently examining ways to bolster the school’s English courses as a result. Still, everyone is thrilled that the results were this positive for the first round of testing! This is a testament to the dedication of the teachers for more than two years as they worked toward this milestone.
New Headmaster At Renewal Secondary
A headmaster has finally been found to manage Renewal Secondary! Trained in education program management by the Catholic Church, he is originally from the Nuba Mountains and has worked in a variety of secondary and primary schools the past few decades.
Teachers and students report that adding a headmaster has been a boon to the school’s activities, with the music class expanded and additional cultural events added in each month for the students and broader community in Yida. We’re excited to see what other changes are on the horizon!
Classroom Conditions
Over the past three years, we’ve worked with our education partner to improve classroom infrastructure at Endure Primary and Renewal Secondary. Thunderstorms were repeatedly damaging classrooms and forcing expensive repairs. By early 2020, all classrooms had received significant weatherproofing and strengthened roofs.
We mentioned in our last update that a strong thunderstorm had rolled over Yida and damaged quite a few structures in the camp. The schools were largely spared, but two classrooms at Endure Primary saw severe damage. Thanks to your giving, repairs are now underway!
Supporting Other Schools In Yida
After years of financial struggles, the only other secondary school in Yida was on the verge of permanently closing earlier this year. Vision Secondary School was founded several years ago with pledges of support from other outside nonprofits, most of which never materialized.
The teachers we support at Renewal Secondary have now partially taken over operations at Vision to try to keep the school afloat. Since most of our teachers specialize in certain areas, they are bouncing back and forth between both schools to fill gaps left behind by Vision’s mostly unpaid and departing teachers. Vision is far from being out of the woods —with funding being the primary challenge— but the temporary assistance we are providing has brought some much needed stability to students there.
Endure Primary School is also now serving as the central national exam preparation facility for primary students in Yida. Moving forward, the camp’s eight additional primary schools will receive support and resources annually for student test prep. This ancillary program will positively impact an estimated 2,100+ students every year!
Funding & Morale
Teacher and student morale is high at the moment, although there is a bit of weariness as some broader humanitarian issues in the camp emerge. Some of the main clean water pumps are beginning to fail as humanitarian organizations scale back operations, leading to longer lines for water, and the limited healthcare services that were in the camp have decreased to the point of being almost non-existent.
But fundraising for the teachers and students continues to improve. Our supporters have restored 70% of the funding the schools lost in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic and political instability in the United States, where the majority of our donors live. There’s still a long road ahead to full funding, but we’re trending in the right direction. Learn how you can help us continue making progress below.

About Nuba
The Nuba Mountains are home to roughly 100 African tribal groups who have lived here for over 2,000 years. The roughly 1.3 million Christian, Muslim, and traditional Nuba people live mostly in harmony.
Sadly, the Nuba way of life has been in danger for decades. Extremist regime officials have long viewed the Nuba people as a threat to their iron-fisted rule. The Sudanese military and their paramilitary allies have committed two genocides in the region since the 1990s.
Dictator Omar al-Bashir was overthrown in a military coup in April 2019. A fledgling transitional government replaced him and is supposed to be moving the country toward civilian, democratic rule. A coup in November 2021 disrupted this progress. A fragile ceasefire is in place in the Nuba Mountains right now.
Operation Broken Silence focuses on the Nuba Mountains and nearby Yida Refugee Camp. We are the only nonprofit in the world funding community-led education in Yida. Your generous support is essential for the Sudanese teachers we partner with. Learn more about our mission here.
Mother of Mercy Hospital Update - December 2021
Get the latest news from the only hospital in the oppressed Nuba Mountains of Sudan!
Mother of Mercy Hospital in the Nuba Mountains of Sudan serves as the backbone of the healthcare system in the region. The main referral facility in Gidel and the string of community clinics the staff manage can serve 150,000+ patients a year. The growing staff performs operations, battles cancer and preventable diseases, and brings new children into the world.
Bakhita’s Story
A few times a year, the hospital’s medical director Dr. Tom Catena shares a story from one of their patients.
I want to introduce you to one of my patients. Her name is Bakhita which means Blessing.
She’s 13-years-old and came to us badly burned in a house fire. She sustained partial and full thickness burns over 80% of her body. We gave her little chance of survival.
She initially underwent several operations to remove the dead skin and tissue. After several months of cleaning, she was ready for skin grafting. We were able to perform three separate skin grafts to cover all the burned areas. They were successful and she finally walked out of the hospital six months after she arrived with completely intact skin.
It was a miracle she survived.
Most of the credit goes to our amazing nursing staff, who provided excellent care and never gave up hope for Bakhita.
It takes tremendous resources in both personnel and materials to care for a patient with burns this severe. We are the only hospital in the entire region with the capacity to provide this care. Burn patients undergo great suffering, but at least we are able to provide some hope for them and their families.
None of this would be possible without the support of our donors like you. We are sincerely grateful for all our friends and supporters who help make this work possible.

Recent News
It’s been an exceptionally busy year at the hospital. The ceasefire in the Nuba Mountains continues to allow for better freedom of movement, which means more people can travel for care. People have started coming from as far away as Khartoum, Darfur, and the far eastern part of Sudan, a testament to the quality of care and high reputation of the hospital’s staff.
The hospital’s lab technicians are now running a PCR testing machine for COVID-19, with more significant numbers of cases starting to show up nearby. Additionally, a small measles outbreak was detected just a few hours west of the hospital in November. Outbreaks of preventable diseases can be common in Nuba due to low vaccination rates during the war, a problem the hospital’s staff is slowly making progress on. More measles vaccines are now on the way as well.
Several outside medical teams have visited throughout the year to fit prosthetics for those maimed during the war and reconstructive surgeries such as cleft lip repairs, burn scar releases, and other advanced operations that patients can’t find elsewhere. During these visits, Nuba Dr. Martin Kodi and other hospital staff have been able to learn additional skills from visiting physicians and healthcare workers.
Progress is being made on expansions that will enhance the healthcare experience for patients for decades to come. A new building that hosts an eye surgical theater, a clinic room for eye patients, and a large storeroom for medications has been added to the hospital compound. Progress continues on setting up a clinical officer training program, with the hopes of a start date at some point later in 2022. Construction on the facility should begin soon, followed by a planned expansion of the pediatric ward and a new operating theater.
Finally, Operation Broken Silence is managing funds for a multi-org project that is bringing new batteries, building materials and tools, and other resources to improve the power infrastructure at the hospital. These are items that can’t be sourced locally, but will have a major, positive impact on daily operations. They will also help with opening the clinical school and several other upcoming projects in the area.
Despite the recent coup in Khartoum, the situation in the Nuba Mountains remains relatively stable and quiet. Lying before the people of Nuba and the hospital is the potential for rapid progress that was long denied during the war. This is an exciting time for the hospital and people of Nuba, but they need additional support to continue moving forward.
