	Conflict in Sudan is fueling a humanitarian emergency of epic proportions by OCHA, New Humanitarian, NRC, MSF, agencies   25 Aug. 2023   War and hunger could destroy Sudan, by Martin Griffiths, UN Emergency Relief Coordinator   The war in Sudan is fueling a humanitarian emergency of epic proportions. This viral conflict – and the hunger, disease and displacement left in its wake – now threatens to consume the entire country.   The intense fighting that has ravaged the capital Khartoum and Darfur since mid-April has spread to Kordofan. In South Kordofan’s capital, Kadugli, food stocks have been fully depleted, as clashes and road blockages prevent aid workers from reaching the hungry. In West Kordofan’s capital, El Fula, humanitarian offices have been ransacked and supplies looted. I am also extremely worried about the safety of civilians in Al Jazira State, as the conflict moves closer to Sudan’s breadbasket.   The longer the fighting continues, the more devastating its impact. Some places have already run out of food. Hundreds of thousands of children are severely malnourished and at imminent risk of death if left untreated.   Vector-borne diseases are spreading, posing a lethal risk, especially to those already weakened by malnutrition. Cases of measles, malaria, whooping cough, dengue fever, and acute watery diarrhoea are being reported across the country. Most people have no access to medical treatment. The conflict has decimated the health care sector, with most hospitals out of service.   Millions of people have been displaced inside Sudan. Nearly one million others have fled across its borders. As more refugees arrive in neighbouring countries, host communities are struggling. A protracted conflict in Sudan could tip the entire region into a humanitarian catastrophe.   A long conflict will almost certainly lead to a lost generation of children as millions miss out on education, endure trauma, and bear the physical and psychological scars of war. Reports that some children in Sudan are being used in the fighting are deeply disturbing.   It is well past time for all those fighting in this conflict to put the people of Sudan above the pursuit of power or resources. Humanity must prevail. Civilians need life-saving assistance now; humanitarians need access and funding to deliver it. The international community needs to respond with the urgency this crisis deserves.   http://interagencystandingcommittee.org/about-principals/statement-principals-inter-agency-standing-committee-sudan-after-4-months-war-humanitarian-leaders http://www.unicef.org/mena/press-releases/more-two-million-children-displaced-brutal-conflict-sudan-violence-spreads-new-areas   2 Aug. 2023   Sudan conflict displaces nearly four million: UN migration agency   The Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs warns that hunger and displacement due to the ongoing war in Sudan are spiraling out of control.   More than 6 million people in Sudan –some 13 per cent of the population – are now one step away from famine, according to the latest analysis from the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification, or IPC.   Across the country, more than 20 million people are facing high levels of acute food insecurity. This is due to the conflict, economic decline and mass displacement.   People continue to flee the violence in Sudan, with more than 334,000 people being internally displaced in just one week, according to the International Organization for Migration. IOM reports that since the war started, more than 3 million people have been displaced inside Sudan. Meanwhile, the UN Refugee Agency says that more than 855,000 people have fled to neighbouring countries.   http://news.un.org/en/story/2023/08/1139352 http://www.unicef.org/press-releases/unicef-deputy-executive-director-ted-chaibans-remarks-situation-children-sudan-daily   Sudan: Conflict, mass displacement, economic decline leave over 20 million people in high levels of acute food insecurity. (IPC)   Conflict and economic decline have driven about 20.3 million people across Sudan (over 42 percent of the country’s population) into high levels of acute food insecurity, classified in IPC Phase 3 or above (Crisis or worse) between July and September 2023. Of those, 14 million people (29 percent of the population) are in IPC Phase 3, Crisis, and almost 6.3 million people (13 percent) are experiencing worse conditions in IPC Phase 4, Emergency. Compared to the results from the last IPC analysis conducted in May 2022, the number of highly food insecure people has nearly doubled.   The rapid deterioration in Sudan’s food security situation is driven by conflict and insecurity – with the most affected areas being Khartoum State, Greater Darfur and Greater Kordofan – high food prices and climate shocks and hazards. Conflict has exacerbated Sudan’s food insecurity by triggering a large-scale displacement of 2.6 million people across all states of Sudan – forcing nearly 760,000 Sudanese refugees to flee into neighbouring countries; damaging and destroying key civilian infrastructure; impeding humanitarian access; disrupting markets; and further depressing an already fragile economy.   http://www.ipcinfo.org/ipcinfo-website/alerts-archive/issue-84/en/ http://www.fao.org/neareast/news/view/en/c/1647272/   25 July 2023   Sudan: After 100 days of fighting, attacks on civilians and humanitarian workers must stop - Statement by Clementine Nkweta-Salami, Humanitarian Coordinator in Sudan. (OCHA)   Yesterday marked 100 days since the eruption of war in Sudan, a crisis that turned a dire humanitarian situation into a full-blown catastrophe. It is a devastating situation, with the surging violations increasing the suffering of civilians. Thousands of people have been killed and injured. More than 3.3 million people have fled their homes in search of safer areas, both inside and outside Sudan. Many more remain without the most basic services – water, health care and food.   The humanitarian community remains steadfast in its commitment to support the people of Sudan, making tremendous and brave efforts to provide assistance amid very difficult circumstances.   Yet relief workers are not spared from the horrendous acts of violence and abuse. Humanitarians, including health workers, should never be a target, and it is shocking to receive reports of attacks against them.   Sadly, at least 18 aid workers have been killed and many more injured since the start of the conflict in Sudan. More than two dozen have been detained while some remain unaccounted for. Humanitarian facilities have also been attacked, with at least 50 humanitarian warehouses having been looted, 82 offices ransacked and more than 200 vehicles stolen. The looting of one warehouse in Al Obeid alone in early June left us without food that could have fed 4.4 million people.   The health sector has been devastated. More than 50 attacks on health care have been verified since the violence in Sudan broke out. There were 32 attacks reported on health facilities and 22 targeting health workers.   I strongly condemn all of these attacks: They must stop so that the humanitarian community can continue to deliver essential aid and stop the further deterioration of the humanitarian situation. All the parties to the conflict must adhere to international humanitarian law and international human rights law, including the protection of all civilians and civilian infrastructure, as well as the unhindered and safe access for humanitarian personnel and supplies across the country.   http://www.unhcr.org/news/press-releases/unhcr-urges-end-sudan-conflict-100-days-amid-growing-displacement http://www.unicef.org/press-releases/severe-violations-childrens-rights-hourly-occurrence-sudan-warns-unicef http://www.concern.net/press-releases/urgent-action-needed-avert-humanitarian-catastrophe-sudan http://www.nrc.no/resources/reports/sudan-one-hundred-days-of-war/   http://reliefweb.int/report/sudan/sudan-after-100-days-fighting-attacks-civilians-and-humanitarian-workers-must-stop-statement-clementine-nkweta-salami-humanitarian-coordinator-sudan-enar http://www.savethechildren.net/news/staff-account-violence-everywhere-there-looting-everywhere http://www.msf.org/staff-beatings-death-threats-jeopardise-msf-presence-khartoum http://www.msf.org/sudan http://www.hrw.org/africa/sudan   May 2023   Sudanese civilian groups have banded together to provide essential aid, in midst of conflict.   Civilians are helping Sudan’s most vulnerable via food banks, donations, logistical coordination and medical support.   Despite the near-constant danger, 36-year-old Walid Abdel Mawla al-Sideeg regularly heads out to the battle-ridden streets of Khartoum to deliver food to families holed up in their homes.   He is not a humanitarian worker; during peacetime, he was a journalist. Instead, like many other Sudanese civilians, his actions are borne out of a dogged determination to protect the country’s vulnerable as the country’s infrastructure is torn apart by war.   Al-Sideeg started the Khartoum Food Bank on April 18, three days after fighting between the Sudanese army and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) erupted. The food bank has since grown into an essential lifeline for thousands of families in the city.   But, it is just one of countless civilian committees across the country that have banded together to support the communities racked by shortages of food, water and medical supplies. Prices have also skyrocketed, leaving many unable to afford essentials.   Al-Sideeg told Al Jazeera that he and more than a dozen men who operate the food bank “face many dangers on a daily basis” as they scour food supplies from any store that is open and attempt the treacherous journeys to homes around the city.   Some families have gone without food for days; others are in areas where fighting is so intense that al-Sideeg and his team cannot reach them. On those occasions, they send them cash transfers and hope that they can reach a grocery store themselves.   The Khartoum food bank, like many of the country’s burgeoning civil committees, is funded by members of the Sudanese diaspora, who respond to calls on social media for support.   After receiving donations, al-Sideeg and other members of the food bank brave the streets to buy beans, lentils, flour and other essential foodstuffs before rationing them out into bags according to each family’s needs.   The network of civil committees and expatriate donors also use social media to share vital logistical information.   “This generation is making miracles,” explained Aseel Geries, a public health specialist, civil servant and activist currently in Wad Madani, a city in east-central Sudan. “It is the diaspora, especially in the US and the UK, through social media, who tell us that this road is safe, or these nurses can treat you here,” she told Al Jazeera over the phone, her voice cracking with emotion.   Al Jazeera spoke to one Sudanese national, Walaa, now in Saudi Arabia, who is helping raise funds. “Sudan is not really getting anything from any other countries,” Walaa said. “They haven’t been helping with emergency aid, so it’s just us, Sudanese people, who are really trying to help in any way possible”.   Geries made the dangerous journey from Khartoum to Wad Madani with her aunt on the third day of fighting and has been using social media ever since to help others out of the city, notifying them of how and when they should attempt to flee.   She said many people arrive at Wad Madani from Khartoum in a “dire state and need urgent medical treatment”.   She recently helped evacuate her friend, a 25-year-old man who had been shot in the back while driving his car in Khartoum and could not receive medical assistance. “Hospital theatres were not working, there were no surgeries or doctors available,” she said.   She used her connections to get him to Wad Madani, where he underwent surgery and physical therapy, but he remains paralysed from the waist down.   Geries said doctors have also been specifically targeted and arrested by RSF soldiers in Khartoum who use them to treat injured troops.   Wad Madani has not seen any major fighting, she said, and it remains one of the few places in the country where some international humanitarian organisations have a presence. But Geries added that the medical infrastructure in the city is overwhelmed, and there is a “serious shortage of life-saving medicines”.   Through funds raised by the diaspora, she and other civilians are able to buy medicines required for specific critical cases at local pharmacies, although stocks are fast running out.   Geries said some pregnant women and cancer patients have been unable to receive treatment. “The health level is collapsing due to the acute shortage of life-saving medicines,” Reem al-Tayib told Al Jazeera from Port Sudan.   When Ashraf Mohamed Osman, from Khartoum, could not find an open pharmacy in his area, he started to gather information from social media and created a spreadsheet that contained up-to-date information about which pharmacies were operational.   “All the pharmacy owners are scared for their lives,” he said. “If they do open, it’s just for a few hours”.   Any excursion to reach a pharmacy is fraught with danger, so it is essential to be as efficient as possible if you leave the house. “If you decide to risk your life to find medicine and use your car, you will run out of fuel as gas stations are closed.”   Geries believes the younger generation will continue to use social media to raise awareness of what parts of the country are most in need. Currently, she said, el-Geneina, a city in West Darfur, is almost completely isolated and racked by fighting, with all medical facilities out of order, leading civilian activists to use hashtags on social media to keep attention on the situation there.   Al-Sideeg said, at his food bank, everyone rejected the war “because it only brings destruction as we see with all the families who had to flee their homes, we are calling the fighting parties to stop the war as its harming every family”.   http://odihpn.org/publication/call-for-action-to-the-international-community-support-for-civil-society-in-sudan-is-urgent-and-crucial/ http://www.thenewhumanitarian.org/opinion/2023/05/15/sudan-local-groups-aid-efforts http://www.thenewhumanitarian.org/africa/east-africa/sudan http://www.hrw.org/news/2023/05/17/interview-life-sudan-while-conflict-rages http://www.msf.org/hundreds-trauma-patients-arrive-khartoum-hospital http://www.nrc.no/perspectives/2023/sudan-a-testimony-from-the-ground/ http://www.nrc.no/news/2023/sudan-update/ http://www.crisisgroup.org/africa/horn-africa/sudan/time-try-again-end-sudans-war http://www.ips-journal.eu/interviews/both-see-a-chance-to-finally-eliminate-their-arch-enemy-6658/ http://lens.civicus.org/sudans-crisis-spills-into-conflict/ http://allafrica.com/view/group/main/main/id/00085545.html http://www.crisisgroup.org/africa/horn-africa/sudan/stopping-sudans-descent-full-blown-civil-war http://theconversation.com/africa/topics/sudan-3007 http://reliefweb.int/report/sudan/humanitarian-crisis-sudan-reaching-breaking-point
	Many developing countries face a deepening development crisis by United Nations Trade and Development Conference   Apr. 2023   The United Nations Trade and Development Conference (UNCTAD) in its latest Trade and Development Report Update warns that developing countries are facing years of difficulty as the global economy slows down amid heightened financial turbulence.   Annual growth across large parts of the global economy will fall below the performance registered before the pandemic and well below the decade of strong growth before the global financial crisis.   The UN trade body estimates that interest rates hikes will cost developing countries more than $800 billion in foregone income over the coming years. UNCTAD expects global growth in 2023 to drop to 2.1%, compared to the 2.2% projected in September 2022, assuming the financial fallout from higher interest rates is contained to the bank runs and bailouts of the first quarter.   Developing countries face crushing effect of soaring debt, interest rate hikes, food prices and lack of sufficient liquidity   Many developing countries face a deepening development crisis as soaring debt levels and higher servicing costs squeeze productive investment in both the public and private sectors. A shortfall of international liquidity has already turned unforeseen shocks into a vicious financial cycle in some countries.   UNCTAD finds that 81 developing countries (excluding China) lost $241 billion in international reserves in 2022, an average decline of 7%, with over 20 countries experiencing a drop of over 10% and in many cases exhausting their recent addition of Special Drawing Rights (SDRs).   Meanwhile, borrowing costs, measured through sovereign bond yields, increased from 5.3% to 8.5% for 68 emerging markets. Overall, external creditors' pressure on developing countries to reduce fiscal deficits is expected to increase.   UNCTAD highlights that debt distress will result in a development crisis and wider inequalities, with 39 countries paying more to their external public creditors than what they received in new loans, causing an adverse impact on public investments and social protection.   Over the last decade, debt servicing costs have consistently increased relative to public expenditure on essential services. The number of countries spending more on external public debt service than healthcare increased from 34 to 62 during this period.   UNCTAD says that even if financial conditions stabilize, the slowdown in economic growth in many developing countries combined with the end of the cheap money era points to future rounds of debt distress.   High food prices hurt developing countries   Record profits for agricultural commodity traders have been driven by economic uncertainty and market volatility over the past four years, according to the report.   Exceptionally large profit margins have driven higher prices, which highlights the concentration of market power in key industries. In developing countries, food inflation remains high, while the impact of energy costs varies depending on local regulations.   The financialization of commodity trading has made financial markets the dominant influence on food traders’ profitability. The report emphasizes that in early 2023, food inflation remains elevated, despite a decrease in overall inflation, with 25% to 62% of the headline figure driven by food inflation.   UNCTAD calls for a bold agenda to support developing countries: global debt architecture overhaul, greater liquidity and more robust financial regulations   Both the banking crisis and the cost-of-living crisis have shed light on the opacity and increased concentration of market power in key industries. UNCTAD calls for the closing of the loopholes in financial reform launched in the wake of the 2007-09 crisis, for the widening of the scope of systemic oversight and for closer regulation of shadow banking institutions.   To adequately address developing countries’ needs, the financial multilateral agenda requires strengthening, with an urgent focus on the reform of the debt architecture. UNCTAD calls for the establishment of a multilateral debt workout mechanism, a registry of validated data on debt transactions from both lenders and borrowers, and improved debt sustainability analyses that incorporate development and climate finance needs.   The ongoing IMF-World Bank meetings provide a valuable opportunity to strengthen development finance and address constraints facing countries that need greater liquidity. Issuing new SDRs worth at least $650 billion would be a positive first step in helping to alleviate the heavy debt burdens that hinder development prospects.   Additionally, G20 nations have pledged to recycle at least $100 billion of their unused SDRs, a commitment that should be fulfilled to further support global economic recovery.   The combined impact of higher interest rates and elevated energy and food prices in the context of receding fiscal support is expected to further weaken household spending, including on housing. Business investment, buffeted by financial turbulence, is also expected to slow down further or contract.   Annual growth across large parts of the global economy will fall below the performance registered before the pandemic and well below the decade of strong growth before the global financial crisis – with a potentially devastating effect on the economies of developing countries. This will further deepen the cost-of-living crisis that their citizens are currently facing and magnify inequalities worldwide.   # Extract UNCTAD Trade and Development Report update; page 15:   "As the focus of policymakers turned to the threat of a wage-price spiral and accompanying expectational consequences (a worry, which would turn out to be mostly unfounded), the danger from speculative pressures on commodity prices as well as retail and producers’ price-setting practices was ignored or missed altogether. As a result of this policy myopia, prices in some key sectors with a direct bearing on the cost of living, such as natural gas, food and the rental housing sector, continued to rise alongside a sharp increase in profit margins (see subsection C.1).   Where data is available, as in the European Union, the United Kingdom and the United States, there is clear evidence of a significant contribution of higher profit margins to inflation coming out of the pandemic (Bivens, 2022; Ferguson and Storm, 2022; Hayes and Jung, 2023; Onaran, 2023; Schnabel, 2022; Weber and Wasner, 2023) and indirect indicators suggest that similar dynamics have been at play elsewhere, including in developing countries (TDR, 2022: 27)".   http://unctad.org/press-material/unctad-calls-bold-international-economic-agenda-avert-another-lost-decade-developing http://news.un.org/en/story/2023/04/1135627 http://unctad.org/news/un-warns-soaring-global-public-debt-record-92-trillion-2022 http://unctad.org/world-of-debt http://unctad.org/publication/least-developed-countries-report-2023 http://www.un.org/sustainabledevelopment/blog/2023/07/press-release-un-warns-of-soaring-global-public-debt-a-record-92-trillion-in-2022-3-3-billion-people-now-live-in-countries-where-debt-interest-payments-are-greater-than-expenditure-on-health-or-edu/ http://www.ohchr.org/en/press-releases/2023/06/un-experts-back-draft-new-york-bill-ensure-effective-and-fair-debt-relief-un   http://www.ungeneva.org/en/news-media/news/2023/06/82268/financial-system-must-evolve-giant-leap-towards-global-justice http://debtjustice.org.uk/press-release/lower-income-country-debt-payments-set-to-hit-highest-level-in-25-years http://actionaid.org/news/2023/93-countries-most-vulnerable-climate-disasters-are-either-or-significant-risk-debt http://news.un.org/en/story/2022/10/1129427 http://unctad.org/news/global-debt-and-climate-crises-are-intertwined-heres-how-tackle-both http://www.undp.org/press-releases/50-percent-worlds-poorest-need-debt-relief-now-avert-major-systemic-development-crisis-warns-un-development-programme   http://www.ipsnews.net/2022/10/while-developing-nations-hang-on-to-a-cliffs-edge-g20-imf-officials-repeat-empty-words-at-their-annual-meetings/ http://www.eurodad.org/debt_justice http://bit.ly/3emq0pw http://www.savethechildren.net/news/one-three-world-s-poorest-countries-pay-more-debt-repayments-education-save-children http://www.iied.org/tackling-debt-climate-nature-crises-together http://www.iied.org/debt-for-climate-swaps-innovative-financial-instruments-for-public-debt-management http://www.icrc.org/en/publication/4712-debt-conversion-humanitarian-and-climate-impact http://shop.icrc.org/debt-conversion-for-humanitarian-and-climate-impact-pdf-en.html http://www.oxfam.org/en/press-releases/every-1-imf-encouraged-set-poor-countries-spend-public-goods-it-has-told-them-cut http://www.oxfam.org/en/press-releases/new-index-shows-governments-worldwide-stoked-inequality-explosion-during-covid-19   * The High Level Panel of Experts on Food Security and Nutrition (HLPE-FSN) of the United Nations Committee on World Food Security (CFS) has launched its flagship report on “Reducing inequalities for food security and nutrition”.   Despite significant progress in reducing global poverty, food insecurity and malnutrition over the past decades, the world continues to grapple with the alarming increase in hunger and malnutrition. The launch of this report comes at a crucial time and highlights the urgent need to address inequalities for food security and nutrition (FSN), and their devastating impact on communities worldwide.   The consequences of such inequalities are far-reaching, diminishing people's life chances, hampering productivity, perpetuating poverty, and impeding economic growth. Unequal food security and nutrition outcomes have even sparked political unrest, eventually leading to protests and food riots.   Inequalities in food security and nutrition, between countries and regions and within countries, communities and households, exist throughout the world. This report provides a conceptual framework for assessing inequalities in food security and nutrition, the inequalities within and outside food systems that underpin them, and the systemic drivers of such inequalities.   The report highlights the ethical, socioeconomic, legal and practical imperatives for addressing these inequalities. It emphasizes that food is a fundamental human right and that inequalities in food security and nutrition undermine this right.   In addition, by applying an intersectional understanding of inequalities – that is, considering the cumulative effects of multiple interacting inequalities on marginalized peoples – the report contributes to a more inclusive understanding and sustainable action to reduce food security and nutrition inequalities.   The report proposes a set of measures to reduce inequalities, both within and beyond food systems. It emphasizes the need for a transformative agenda, aiming for structural change towards equity.   By providing actionable recommendations addressing the systemic drivers of food security and nutrition and advocating for actions in favour of equity and equality, the report contributes to global efforts towards achieving food security and improving overall well-being, leaving no one behind.   http://www.fao.org/cfs/cfs-hlpe/insights/news-insights/news-detail/reducing-inequalities-for-food-security-and-nutrition/en http://www.fao.org/cfs/cfs-hlpe/insights/news-insights/news-detail/for-a-more-equitable-distribution-of-income-across-food-systems/en http://www.fao.org/cfs/cfs-hlpe/insights/news-insights/news-detail/critical-emerging-and-enduring-issues-for-food-security-and-nutrition/en   * Breaking the Cycle of Unsustainable Food Systems, Hunger and Debt, report from IPES- Food (March 2023)   The food price crisis is entering a dangerous new phase – a debt crisis that is plunging millions more into hunger. IPES-Food’s new special report urges decision-makers to act on comprehensive debt relief and food system transformation, before it’s too late.   Although food prices have receded from 2022’s record highs, public finances in low-income countries are being buffeted by sky-high import costs for food, fertilizers, and energy, and rapidly-rising interest rates. 60% of low-income countries and 30% of middle-income countries are now considered at high risk of, or already in, debt distress; while some 21 countries are nearing catastrophic levels of both debt distress and food insecurity.   Our unsustainable food systems are a major driver of the debt crisis. Import dependencies, extractive financial flows, boom-bust commodity cycles, and climate-vulnerable food systems are combining to destabilize the finances of the world's poorest countries.   In turn, unsustainable debt leaves countries critically exposed to shocks and undermines their ability to make urgently-needed investments in climate-resilient food production and food security.   The expert panel calls for urgent action to:   Provide debt relief and development finance on a scale for COVID-19 recovery, climate action, resilient food systems, and the Sustainable Development Goals. Repair historical food system injustices and return resources to the Global South. Democratize financial and food systems governance to put the interests of the world’s poorest countries and marginalized populations first.   "The food crisis is still biting and now it’s sparking skyrocketing debt distress and spiralling hunger in dozens of low and middle-income countries. Rising debt bills are becoming unaffordable for many governments, just as they struggle to pay for food and fertilizer imports. Decades of progress in reducing hunger risks being undone". - Jennifer Clapp, IPES-Food expert economist   “Many African countries’ economies and food systems are on the brink of meltdown. We’re stuck importing increasingly unaffordable staple foods while climate change batters our harvests, and interest payments spiral out of control. Our governments are starved of cash to build the sustainable food systems we need to feed ourselves.” - Million Belay, IPES-Food expert economist   “Yes, the debts of poorer nations should be cancelled to allow them to feed their people – but this is not enough. It’s vital to break the vicious cycle of unsustainable food systems, hunger, and debt – by also investing in resilient food and farming, repairing historical injustices, and reforming decision-making on food and debt to put poor countries first.” - Lim Li Ching, co-chair of IPES-Food   http://www.ipes-food.org/pages/debtfoodcrisis http://www.foodsystems4people.org/social-movements-indigenous-peoples-and-civil-society-organizations-continue-to-fight-against-corporate-capture-of-global-food-governance/   http://www.wider.unu.edu/publication/financing-development-goals-times-crisis http://www.wider.unu.edu/publication/overcoming-challenge-illicit-financial-flows http://www.wider.unu.edu/publication/1-trillion-shade http://www.wider.unu.edu/publication/will-growth-be-enough-end-poverty Visit the related web page
