“The war has set the country back several decades and it will take more than a generation to rebuild #Sudan to its pre-war state.' Worth reading on several new developments on the mediation front. apnews.com/article/sudan-…

Genuine question why do so many people think the RSF is not part of the Sudanese state apparatus? The state is fighting itself…the RSF is not an armed rebel group.

Rise and shine from day five of Columbia University’s Gaza Solidarity Encampment.

Encampments are not only zones of demands & refusals, but also processes of communing, making decisions together, enacting solidarity as a verb, embodying autonomous & collective liberation. They are themselves zones of imagination, of connection, of prefiguring life & new worlds

If you are a Black alum of Columbia (including Barnard, TC etc) you can sign this statement in support of the courageous students standing in solidarity with Palestine.

Glad to see the work of our initiative being featured on an ABC News Live Prime segment about the dire humanitarian situation in Sudan.

My best friend from uni just had their baby and I, for the first time, saw a picture of the newborn and had the unstoppable urge to cry.

It’s us, you lot! We’re the parents now, and there’s no going back. No stopping time! What the hell. Aging, eh? Such a trip, subhanallah!!!

this is gona be an EVENT!!!

Yusuf AS story did not end with him in the well.

Musa AS story did not end with him stuck between the sea and Firawn’s army behind him.

Prophet Muhammad SAW’s story did not end with him being forced out of Makkah.

Similarly, Gaza’s story does not end here.

Media is crucial in shaping how people think, which is why we need more honest reporting like this, “We have a word for this phenomenon of caring more about the suffering of one group of human beings over another…it’s called racism”

Gaza shows how Orientalism is alive and well.

Reuters' Mohammed Salem has won the 2024 World Press Photo of the Year award for this image of a Palestinian woman, Inas Abu Maamar, cradling the body of her five-year-old niece in Gaza.

Who knew? When so many other conflicts suck up all the oxygen abc.net.au/news/2024-04-1…

Spring is arriving, fox trees are blossoming.

After months of skirting around the issue of genocide we now have a conclusive report by Raoul Wallenberg Centre for Human Rights that tells us what should have been already determined:

The RSF & allied militias are responsible for genocide in #Darfur against Masalit and other non-Arab groups

I can give intellectual reasons behind the tragedies, the impact of successive waves of colonisation & foreign interference. But rather than political analysis, I make a plea. Keep us in your prayers, think of us kindly. Offer us your grace, not your pity. open.substack.com/pub/yassmin/p/…
