Indeed very useful. I would like to know more for example about the methodology to conduct the meetings. How were participants to the hearing selected, convoked or able to attend, and who attended? And what was the approach to conduct the debate, the preparation, questions, agenda, items, etc? For example on this matter on approach, I wonder to what extent the ongoing violence or the need to stop the crimes committed today has been linked to the issue of "justice". I agree with what I perceive from your reporting to de-link the solutions to the crisis from a purely punitive approach (broader concept of justice). Hence, my question is to what extent has, if, the panel considered within its mandate (that it is still unclear to me) trying to address changes in orders, rules of engagement, modalities of fighting between forces, in order to change the behavior of the Sudanese and other warring forces that are affecting civilians?

I am seconded as an advisor to the AU Panel, one in a series of advisory roles I have done for the AU over the last few years. I won’t report anything that is confidential, but as the hearings were public, I took everything that was said in them as part of the public record.

Are you an official, paid advisor? Are you also submitting separate confidential reports and recommendations to the panel? Were you just invited to participate as an observer, with no official role? I think it would help readers to know the "origin" of what we are reading. Ana (asli mish muhim?) Alex,
