Thousands flee Akobo after South Sudan army issues forced evacuation order Army tells UN and aid workers to leave as forces close in on one of the last opposition strongholds.

Thousands of people were forced to flee #Akobo in South Sudan over the weekend, including Oxfam staff. Humanitarian needs are rapidly rising and for many people it’s their second or third displacement. www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/3/... @oxfaminternational.bsky.social

We are standing firm because lives depend on our ability to work safely, independently and in
accordance with humanitarian principles and international law.

We all have a duty to engage peacefully and uphold the human rights of every person, ensuring a society grounded in dignity, equality, and justice.

Oxfam Australia’s First Peoples Program supports First Nations event organisers’ call for a full, independent investigation of this violent attack as terrorism and/or hate crimes against First Nations people and peaceful protesters. We stand in solidarity.

Attempts to downplay this incident misrepresent its seriousness and risk, normalising racism and violence directed at First Nations people.

On Invasion Day in Boorloo/Perth, a fragment bomb was thrown at a First Nations Invasion Day rally—a racist attack that could have caused mass casualties. Luckily it did not detonate as intended—but this harmful action has been felt deeply by all First Nations Australians.

Oxfam Australia acknowledges the National Day of Mourning for everyone affected by the Bondi Beach terrorist attack.
LIGHT WILL WIN. 🕯️

The only legitimate solution must be built by Venezuelans themselves, with the support of the international community, through peaceful and democratic mechanisms. (3/3)

However, the solution can never come from unlawful armed intervention by a foreign power, whose stated objectives include control of the country’s oil resources. (2/3)

Venezuela has undergone a prolonged deterioration of democracy, restrictions on civic space and serious human rights violations, leading to an unprecedented humanitarian crisis in Latin America, which has driven more than 8 million Venezuelans from their country. (1/3)

Tomorrow’s Day of Reflection is a moment for Australia to stand with our Jewish community.

Since Oct 2023, 70-90% of Gaza's electricity networks and solar installations have been destroyed.
2.2million people are in the dark.
Still, Palestinians are building solutions.
Justice means dismantling the occupation and rebuilding energy systems that serve life.

The shift to renewable energy is here. But unless we change how it's done, it will repeat the same exploitation that created climate colonialism.
Polluters must pay. Energy must serve life, not corporations. Head to Oxfam.org.au/mbpp to #MakeBigPollutersPay.
