Why are Sudanese gun-trucks called Thatchers? Why is the Janjaweed named after the Heckler and Koch G3 rifle. Because Euro arms deals are always needed for for genocide. Yet another incredible must-read from @romandeckert.bsky.social www.rosalux.de/en/news/id/5...

I have an essay on the situation in #SouthSudan in the new edition of The New York Review of Books www.nybooks.com/articles/202...

"Während sich .... der öffentliche Diskurs in erster Linie um die Themen Flucht und Migration dreht und dabei ständig nach rechts verschiebt, bleiben die größte humanitäre Krise der Welt und die damit verbundenen Fluchtursachen paradoxerweise weitgehend unbeachtet #KeepEyesOnSudan #TalkAboutSudan

Ein guter Artikel von @romandeckert.bsky.social zur Rolle Deutschland's im Sudan: www.rosalux.de/news/id/5367...

Der seit über zwei Jahren tobende Bürgerkrieg im #Sudan hat auch eine deutsche Vorgeschichte. @romandeckert.bsky.social über das langjährige militärische Engagement im #Sudan und die zwielichtigen Waffenexporte Deutschlands. 👇 www.rosalux.de/news/...

#KeepEyesOnSudan in #Warsaw with "Playful Cartographies" 26 July - 3 August, investigating the intersection of climate change & cultural heritage through game design, centered on the Faras Cathedral, excavated from #Nubia, #Sudan, now partially preserved in Warsaw: www.aaschool.ac.uk/academicprog...

Die Bilanz des #Sudan-Krieges könnte nicht verheerender sein: In dem rund 45 Millionen Einwohner:innen umfassenden Land sind mittlerweile 30 Millionen Menschen auf humanitäre Hilfe angewiesen. Über die geopolitische Dimension des Krieges schrieb Saskia Jaschek: www.blaetter.de/ausgabe/2025...

Kommt zahlreich am Mittwoch zu dieser Veranstaltung, in der es mal schwerpunktmäßig nicht um die Gewaltakteure, sondern um die zivilgesellschaftlichen Organisationen in #Sudan gehen wird.

I went on @AmPrestigePod to talk about the situation in #SouthSudan americanprestige.supportingcast.fm/listen/ameri...

Judicial Restraint and Jurisdictional Clarity: Decoding the ICJ’s Decision in Sudan v. United Arab Emirates | by Sarthak Gupta

I have an essay up at New Left Review's Sidecar looking at the first two years of war in #Sudan newleftreview.org/sidecar/post...

Die Vereinigten Arabischen Emirate (VAE) profitieren vom Goldhandel im #Sudan. Sie unterhalten Verbindungen zu beiden Kriegsparteien und liefern Waffen und Munition – getarnt als humanitäre Hilfslieferungen. Hintergründe im »Blätter«-Podcast 👉 www.blaetter.de/podcast

Seit Kriegsbeginn erstarken die islamistischen Netzwerke im #Sudan wieder. Außerdem normalisieren sich im Kampf gegen die RSF die Beziehungen zwischen Islamisten und Armee – auch für die Zivilbevölkerung. Hintergründe im »Blätter«-Podcast 👉 www.blaetter.de/podcast

New podcast about the implications of the proliferation of advanced military #drones on the balance of power in African conflicts. Listen in!

#SouthSudan is once again in a very tense situation. Part of the problem is that #peacebuilding has not managed to fundamentally change this system. Rather, the fragility serves those in power. www.crisisgroup.org/africa/horn-...

Happy to announce that the 8th Sudan Studies Research Conference will be held online on the 7th June 2025. Call for papers is now open, click the link below to submit an abstract! www.sudan-conference.com #archaeology #sudan #ancientNubia

Today's hectic day includes a wonderful and welcome surprise. Our "Behind the Paper" was chosen as one of 3 fascinating archaeological stories! communities.springernature.com/posts/explor... 🏺 #archaeology #Sudan #JebelMoya #photography

Interesting move. The SAF-controlled government of #Sudan files a motion against the #UAE under the genocide convention, asking for provisional measures to stop their support to the RSF because of the latter actions against the Masalit. www.icj-cij.org/sites/defaul...

Die Ev. Akademie im Rheinland veranstaltet am kommenden Mittwoch, 26. Februar, von 16 bis 19:30 Uhr ein Zoom-Webinar über den Krieg im #Sudan mit Dr. Ishraga Mustafa Hamid (PEN Österreich), Peter Schumann (ex-UN), Dr. Manfred Öhm (@fesonline.bsky.social) & mir: termine.ekir.de/d-883289

UAE is a special kind of state: tiny, outsized, rentier, authoritarian, expansionist, mercantile, Africa's 4th biggest investor, controller of dozens of African ports, sponsor of African Wagner/Blackwater-type militias. Great article setting out its role in Africa. www.tni.org/en/article/t...

#KeepEyesOnSudan in #Berlin!

Painful yet heartening discussion in #Berlin at @boellafrica.bsky.social for the European premiere of #Khartoum at the #Berlinale with Rawia Alhag, Timeea Mohamed Ahmed, Ibrahim Snoopy, @philnative.bsky.social & @katja-keul.de. #KeepEyesOnSudan

The war in #Sudan will again be on the agenda of the @munsecconf.bsky.social. This is not just a humanitarian catastrophe, but also a regional crisis of geopolitics and security. Policymakers worldwide should pay more attention. Great that the MSC will provide space for that.

“The Darfur genocide is generally dated from 2003 to 2005, but war never really stopped. For over two decades the Janjaweed and their successors have attacked rural areas, preventing internally displaced Darfuris...from returning to their farmland.” —Jérôme Tubiana

Ongoing attacks by SAF on RSF controlled Khartoum Oil Refinery in #Sudan causing fire and smoke plume over Khartoum. This is following the attacks early January 2025 that also caused fires, as the refinery itself has been hit multiple times, causing conflict-pollution.

"Khartoum" - a collaborative project by Anas Saeed, Rawia Alhag, Ibrahim Snoopy, Timeea M Ahmed from Sudan & @philnative.bsky.social - will have its European premiere at the upcoming Berlinale! #KeepEyesOnSudan

With the determination of genocide in #Sudan by the US, it is more important than ever to chart a path forward. Register for an event by @wilsoncenter.org Thursday Jan 30 to hear more about the inadequecy of response and recommendations: www.wilsoncenter.org/event/charti...

Authorities in South Sudan have ordered internet service providers to block access to to all social media sites effective today- for a minimum of 30 days. Cite “recent upheaval in Sudan” which has exposed the South Sudanese population to violence “through social media posts”.

From underground beats to revolutionary anthems, Sudanese rap is now carrying the weight of war and narrating stories of displacement and dreams of return. #Sudan #Music

Thanks to my colleague @nielsannen.bsky.social, Parliamentarian State Secretary at @bmz.de for visiting Port Sudan. The brutal crisis in #Sudan must not be forgotten! Ending the war needs more diplomatic efforts!

I opened my account here! If you were following me on X @tomomifushiya, follow me here, for updates and news about archaeology and heritage in Sudan, and my research and heritage workshops in Sudan, Egypt, Cyprus and Lebanon!

Coming up at the Sundance Festival: the world premiere of KHARTOUM, produced by the Sudan Film Factory with archive research contributed by our King’s College London project SUDAN MEMORY. Watch this space for the European premiere at the Berlin Film Festival in February.

First high-level German visit to #Sudan itself since the start of the war in April 2023.

Lack of maintenance of Sudan’s Jebel Aulia dam threatens life of many #RadioDabanga #Sudan

#KeepEyesOnSudan yesterday in #Bern at the Stauffacher-bookshop with Navid Kermani, one of Germany's most influential intellectuals: "Usually I have no problem to get media attention, but when I offered to the German TV channels to talk about my travels to the Nuba Mountains, they flatly refused."

I'm trying to get over the slow demise of Twitter, but it is so liberating to be out from under Musk's shadow. Hope my network will follow me here and that I find new exciting contacts. In my first post I want to share a recent publication I wrote with Antoni Sastre Bel: www.prio.org/publications...

I know it’s Christmas Day but I keep getting news from Sudan and it’s just so bloody awful.

This is the situation in #Sudan. It’s worse in reality - my beloved Sudanese family has lost their home. Cholera is rampant. sudantribune.com/article295013/

Sudan’s “production & trade of gold has surpassed prewar levels. Billions of dollars in gold are flowing out of Sudan in virtually every direction, helping to turn the Sahel region into one of the world’s largest gold producer” just as prices are hitting record highs www.nytimes.com/2024/12/11/w...
