ABOUT US
African States Alliance (ASA) is an organization that seeks to increase cross-border cooperation through social and economic integration among African states. The organization achieves this by promoting public awareness of human rights and persuading government officials to improve or develop policies that effectively meet the needs of citizens and businesses through public advocacy.
THE FOUNDER
Y. Martin-Benansio visited Africa and spent time in Aswan, Egypt, and Khartoum, Sudan. During the visit, he observed many social and economic issues, such as famine, homelessness, unemployment, urban poverty, lack of transportation, lack of educational systems, and lack of governance participation.
What You Need to Know!
​
Sudan is currently facing one of the world's most severe humanitarian and political crises, stemming from a brutal civil war that erupted in April 2023 between the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF).
What began as a power struggle over military integration and control of the state has spiraled into widespread violence, mass displacement, and catastrophic suffering for civilians. With no end in sight, the conflict has pushed Sudan to the brink of state collapse while the international community struggles to mount an effective response.
