Grassroots organizing isn't a temporary substitute for political parties. Increasingly, it's becoming a main way of political life through which the youth mobilizes, reflecting a shift in people's imagination to demand dignity, participation, and accountability, notes @hamidmkk.bsky.social.

“I remember the squares filling with people and wondering when it would be our turn,” @hamidmkk.bsky.social says about watching the Arab Uprisings from Sudan, which witnessed various protests. “By the time we reached 2018, we weren’t starting from zero. We were building from those lessons.”

Seeking international legitimacy, the SAF and RSF formed rival civilian governments in 2025. @hamidmkk.bsky.social explains how these structures are not meant to serve the Sudanese people. Instead, they are mechanisms to consolidate control and gain legitimacy. timep.org/2025/08/06/t...

The war in Sudan isn't only a power struggle between military factions, but also an attempt at silencing those who dare envision a future for Sudan rooted in democracy and justice, argues former nonresident fellow @hamidmkk.bsky.social in this earlier analysis. timep.org/2025/04/15/s...

The question of who is empowered through negotiations and what the consequences of transactional peacemaking are for civilians and civic actors were high on the agenda in a seminar @fiia.fi had the honor to co-organize today with the Ministry for Foreign Affairs and the @finnchurchaid.bsky.social.

New paper out! In the @fiia.fi BP I analyze the war in Sudan from the perspective of the shifting international order and its implications for conflict dynamics. I argue that the term forgotten war, albeit stemming from understandable frustrations, is ill-suited to the conflict. So is proxy war. 👇

غيّر القائد المليشياوي السوداني "أبو عاقلة كيكل" ولاءه بين الجيش والدعم السريع، ثم عاد إلى الجيش في أقل من عام. ربما أثرت هذه التقلبات على ميزان القوى في الحرب، لكن ما بقي ثابتًا هو معاناة المدنيين المستمرة. مقال جديد من @mohanedelnour.bsky.social، زميل معهد التحرير. timep.org/post-arabic/...

Gold is key in the UAE's funding of the RSF's war effort but their interests extend far beyond that to arable land and ports along the Red Sea. The UAE already controls hundreds of thousands of acres of Sudanese land and used it (b4 the war) to grow animal feed... (1/2)

May this ceasefire last. May it be the first of many steps towards liberation for Palestinians. May Sudan follow!
