## Resource

A two-year-old refugee girl, Safa Annour, died in Canberra eight years ago from blunt-force trauma — her father, Abubakr Annour, still fights for justice as police suspect foul play but have made no arrests. Despite CCTV showing her happy earlier that day, the investigation stalled, with Annour blaming missed opportunities and under-resourced police. Safa, a bright, musical child, was part of a family navigating poverty and cultural adjustment after fleeing Sudan — her father separated from her mother just before her death. Two caregivers were present at the time, including her mother and a man named Luay Shaor, now back in Sudan. Annour refuses to give up, demanding accountability, while authorities say the case remains an open homicide — but an inquest is on hold until criminal charges are confirmed.
