Yes! This is what is happening with Sudanese migrants who need to go back and forth b/t Sudan and Egypt- they resort to smugglers because legal pathways have all but been closed. This leads to dangerous journeys ICYMI Read my take here: www.against-inhumanity.org/2025/12/01/t... #KeepEyesonSudan 🇸🇩

For this Cairo #Caturday, allow me to share a short reflection I wrote about writing on my balcony with the kitties theauditorium.blog/2025/11/13/e...

I don’t want to formulate words yet, but my friend Alice Wong, @sfdirewolf.bsky.social of the Disability Visibility Project, has passed. Here are the words she left behind: www.instagram.com/p/DREMDNBjnq...

I am co-teaching an online seminar with my colleague, Dr. Amira Ahmed, on Sudanese Social Movements for the University of Cologne. Today my dear friend joined us from Tawila, Darfur and spoke on his important work with the displaced from El Fasher #KeepEyesonSudan #AllEyesonElFasher 🇸🇩

One more week! See the post below for registration details 🇸🇩 #KeepEyesonSudan

New: Videos show ICE/CBP agents are scanning peoples' faces on the street to verify citizenship. ICE has tool to instantly look up unprecedented number of databases with just a photo “I’m an American citizen so leave me alone” “Alright, we just got to verify that” www.404media.co/ice-and-cbp-...

My friend goes to a Darfuri hairdresser in Cairo. She went yesterday but her shop was closed. “The shops on the whole street were closed, it was like one giant funeral prayer, everything and everyone in black, people wailing, rbna yastor”. #KeepEyesOnSudan

The news out of El Fashir is gut-wrenching. The first Sudanese people I met were from El Fashir, my former students in Amman- Thankful to be surrounded by 🇸🇩 friends in Cairo & to co-teach an online seminar today w/ my colleague, Amira Ahmed, on Sudanese social movements @ Uni of Cologne

With millions at risk of losing SNAP in the coming days, a reminder: hunger doesn't happen in isolation. When food assistance disappears, families use rent money to eat. Then come evictions and homelessness. Housing, food, healthcare—it's all connected. Cut one thread and the whole thing unravels.

Cairo friends, join us for this fabulous conference on Sudanese Experiences in Egypt since April 2023. Hosted by CEDEJ Khartoum on Nov 12-13. #KeepEyesOnSudan 🇸🇩 Register here: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

NEW: I found 17 sheriffs in Illinois that have contracts to detain people for ICE through U.S. Marshals Service contracts. IL law explicitly prohibits these types of intergovernmental service agreements. news.wttw.com/2025/10/22/d...

I am thrilled to be back in Cairo and to officially start my PhD field research today! I am very much looking forward to deep diving into the lives of my Sudanese friends and acquaintances over the next 12 months. To make my research more accessible, I have created a Zine, I hope you enjoy it!

And today the African Association has been closed and the building, seized. A sad day.

Friends; I am back in Egypt (for at least a year). Would love to connect, especially with those who have interests on migration, borders, and Sudan!

Photos from Khartoum today from a friend (shared with permission). Even amongst the obvious destruction people persist, mainly because there is no other choice

Thank you, Lithuania, you underrated gem 🇱🇹

Out of office ✅ Welcome to Lithuania 🇱🇹 🌻

So thrilled to see “Making Routes: Mobility and Politics of Migration in the Global South” from AUC Press featured first on this list!

The news is depressing, as usual, but Armenia is gorgeous and the people, incredibly friendly 🇦🇲

A record number of Americans applied for British citizenship in the first three months of this year, and for the right to live and work in Britain indefinitely, according to official data.

" A pregnant woman and other female volunteers were among more than 112 civilians killed within hours during an attack by #Sudan’s Rapid Support Forces (RSF) on the Zamzam displacement camp in North #Darfur, the SIHA Network women’s rights group said on Saturday." sudantribune.com/article299661/

On day 3 of the onslaught, Zamzam IDP Camp is now under RSF control. Mass exodus of civilians from the camp, and mass killings of those trying to escape. The screenshot below is from the Sudanese American Physicians Association, the last message from their team on the ground. #KeepEyesOnSudan

Here we go. Just making stuff up and then banning data that refutes the made up stuff.
