Victor Wanyama’s wife Serah Teshna slams African Union over Sudan massacres
By Paulette Mboga, November 2, 2025Actress and media personality Serah Teshna, wife to footballer Victor Wanyama, has called out the African Union for what she described as silence and inaction as thousands continue to die in Sudan.
In a strong statement shared on Instagram on Sunday, November 2, 2025, Teshna questioned the role of African leaders in addressing the ongoing crisis.
“What is the role of the African Union? Why do we always have to ask outsiders for help, yet we have 54 elected leaders who can step in and intervene? The innocent people of Sudan are being massacred,” she said.
Teshna’s remarks came as the conflict in Sudan entered an even deadlier phase following the takeover of El Fasher city by the Rapid Support Forces (RSF). This powerful paramilitary group has been fighting the Sudanese army since April 2023.

Sudan conflict deepens
Reports from international agencies indicate that the RSF has gone on a killing rampage after capturing the key city of El Fasher in western Darfur. Witnesses and aid groups say hundreds of thousands have fled the city, with new evidence of mass executions and widespread atrocities.
The conflict, which began as a power struggle between the Sudanese army and the RSF, has turned into one of the world’s worst humanitarian crises. More than 150,000 people have been killed, and around 12 million others have been forced to flee their homes. The United Nations has described the situation as the largest humanitarian disaster globally.
Teshna’s message comes at a time when calls are growing for African leaders to take a stronger stand and push for peace talks. Her remarks reflect frustration shared by many who feel that the African Union has not done enough to stop the bloodshed or protect civilians caught in the fighting.

Aid organisations have warned of famine and possible genocide in the Darfur region, with entire communities wiped out and food supplies cut off.
Despite repeated international appeals, progress toward peace has remained slow, and most African governments have stayed quiet.
By openly challenging the African Union, Teshna joins a growing list of African voices demanding leadership and accountability from the continent’s own institutions instead of waiting for outside intervention.
