Abdullahi Halakhe & Jehanne Henry

Abdullahi Halakhe is a senior advocate for east and southern Africa at Refugees International.

Jehanne Henry is a former director at Human Rights Watch’s Africa division and follows Sudan and South Sudan closely. They traveled to the Egypt-Sudan border in May to examine the humanitarian situation.
