This week marks the 55th anniversary of Sudan's anti-communist campaigns and massacre, which took place in July 1971. Some readings on the topic and events leading up to this and immediate aftermath🧵

I remember reading and watching this story about a Sudanese cafe and Syrian restaurant being burnt to ashes by racists in 2024. 2-3 pogroms later (genuinely losing count now) and journalists and politicians from across party lines continue to contribute to this climate. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

If you're in Kigali, this exhibition of photographs by Ammar Yassir tracing his displacement through multiple cities as a result of the war in Sudan is launching on 23rd March and will run until 2nd April.

Image of exhibition poster with a photograph of the Sudanese photographer Ammar Yassir as a young boy transposed on a photograph of his back. Text of the exhibition title is "I will never find home."

I've read several (important) articles about Sudanese who were under consideration for UK scholarships and insist they'd return. I haven't seen these mention what happened to those who returned, like former Chevening scholar Alwaleed Abdeen who was imprisoned & starved to death by the RSF last year.

One of my favourite artworks from Sudan's 2018-19 uprising. The Arabic writing translates to "A woman's place is the resistance" (by A. Satir, 2019).

Artwork on a residential wall in Khartoum of a woman holding up a stick usually used for cooking. The text says A woman's place is the resistance in Arabic
المرا مكانا المقاومة.

Everything about that BAFTA clip is horrible especially for MBJ and Delroy and BAFTA handled it terribly. At the same time, the ignorance that highly educated Americans seem to have about disabilities and the fact that they can actually manifest in deeply horrible ways is stunning.

Today marks 14 years since Mohammed Wardi - Sudan's most beloved musician - passed away. I wrote a thread on how he narrated Sudan's history from antiquity to recent revolutions on the other app a few years ago, before the war. Since then, his son reported that his oud was stolen by the RSF...

The woman in the video is the late Hawa al-Tagtaga 💚💙💛. She was arrested multiple times and imprisoned for her anti-colonial activism and music. Although the footage is in B&W, her famous toab first worn here is in the colours of the old Sudanese flag (blue, yellow & green). bsky.app/profile/chri...

Tomorrow marks the 7th anniversary of Sudan's December revolution, before it was superseded by another war that separated and scattered millions of people across countless countries and worlds. Will slowly be posting readings on the uprising here, focusing first on those by Sudanese 🧵

This article captures a phenomenon that's not uncommon but hasn't really been covered in a lot of analysis on the war: young former revolutionaries who marched against the army 6 years ago joining the army or aligned group since the war. "From revolutionary to soldier": 3ayin.com/en/albarabin...

Rare for me to defend Arab TV but one of the things about being in Cairo is that most Arabic language news channels - eg Aljazeera mubashar, Al Hadath - actually report daily and in-depth on Sudan. And regularly have analysts actually based in Sudan on their news shows.

There have been years of people ignoring what’s happening in Sudan. The only reason that it’s a news story today is because it’s so bad that you can see the literal bloodshed from the NASA satellites! How dare you center yourself in such a way while people are being raped and killed?!

I reactivated twitter for four days before deactivating again. It wasn't even the direct racism & nazi shit but that as blood and corpses flooded El Fasher, Americans/Brits were doing up "no one is getting called up by HR for posting about Sudan though" - that algorithm rewards sociopaths.
