HD organized a two-day workshop in El-Fasher in North Darfur on 11-12 April 2012, to bring together groups from around the region, including a significant nomadic women representation. The forum was the fourth session of its type organized by HD in order to promote dialogue between the parties to the conflict.
In Darfur, HD has been able to extend its humanitarian mediation activities to the nomad Arab groups which claimed to have been discriminated against by the UN. Through roundtable discussions, which began in 2010, HD has highlighted the humanitarian needs of these populations, which led to UN and agency project support in essential areas, such as health and water supplies.
At the workshop, UN agencies and UNAMID highlighted their support of Darfur communities, including pastoralists, and pledged to ensure that the necessary assistance reaches all Darfuris.
