On the latest episode of my @ricochetmedia.bsky.social podcast “In Bed with the Elephant” I speak to @UofT professor @nisrinelamin.bsky.social about #Sudan’s counterrevolutionary war against the Sudanese people & the heroic response of its young citizens. podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/i...

It is and will always be Free Palestine, not just feed the hungry or end the siege but libération and what that Free looks like is not up to anyone but Palestinians.

I hope people realise that the rules that are being implemented to lock people out are also locking you in.

A thread: More than a million Sudanese are involved in artisinal mining in large open-air mining zones across 12 of Sudan’s 18 states working under extremely dangerous conditions. For the UAE, the profit margins from this gold have risen exponentially since the war began. (1/3)

Every once in a while I get angry at the Sudanese millionaire class esp. those who signed that port deal with the UAE in 2022. They have done nothing for Sudan's civilians during this war re: food + evacuations (at least not that I'm aware of) and set the stage 4 for the war early on.

This and also I feel this way about the 150,000 figure that keeps circulating about Sudan. It’s inaccurate period. It just happens to be the last figure the US gov. acknowledged.

Today's quick update [Aug 22]: - Heavy clashes between SAF and RSF continue in Elfashir, North Darfur. - Heavy clashes between SAF and RSF continue near ElObeid, North Kordofan. #KeepEyesOnSudan

can also run this backwards: we watched the development of mass incarceration, waves of repression of anti-police brutality protests, and a spiraling post 9/11 surveillance and detention apparatus. we shouldn't wonder how a president in 2025 could decide the guys with guns can do whatever they want

Big news! My novella I wrote on the Fulbright that I've been trying to publish for most of my life is forthcoming from a small Black press as soon as later this year! Book number 2, written years before book number 1. I've been believing this whole time. I can't describe the feeling. More laterrrrr!

“Given the ongoing genocide in Gaza…we call on Sport Canada and Tennis Canada to forbid Canadian athletes to compete against Israeli athletes at the Davis Cup and all other international events.” - 413 🇨🇦 academics, athletes + sports journalists, inc 3 former UN special rapporteurs + an Olympic 🥈ist

We asked Sudanese people to explain what the war is about. What emerges is clear: there is no such thing as a war about nothing. continent.substack.com/p/is-the-sud...

This issue of The Continent includes an excellent series of pieces on the war in Sudan by Sudanese authors. Read it instead of the recent Atlantic article. www.thecontinent.org/_files/ugd/2...

I’m not a better late than never person. I’m suspicious of ppl who have decided almost 2 years into this current phase of the gen@cide in Falasteen or 850 days into the war in Sudan that enough is enough. WTF have you been thinking this whole time that made gen@cide justifiable or normal tô you?

"The state of the country is dismal. The decline of the United States into a more open form of authoritarianism continues...But cracks in the right-wing offensive are also starting to emerge." the newest issue of @hammerandhope.bsky.social is out now hammerandhope.org/article/trum...

The MONSTERS bombed a tent with all the Al Jazeera journalists.

It would be more honest if more people would say "I am doing OK amidst the horrors being suffered by others." It's actually not true that everything is terrible for everyone right now. We're living under unequally distributed fascism.

That the UAE is positioning itself as peace maker in relation to the war in Ukraine is ludicrous as they fuel the war in Sudan by arming the RSF.

#KeepEyesOnSudan and get informed on what and who is causing war - and war crimes, and famine, and a mass displacement crisis of historical proportions, etc - in Sudan.

I recommend reading this report by Dr. Suliman Baldo @SulimanBaldo and Ahmed Soliman on gold and the war in Sudan. It demonstrates that most of the gold extracted from Sudan is ending up in the UAE, including gold mined in SAF controlled areas. www.chathamhouse.org/sites/defaul...

Using anti-imperialist, Decolonial language does not make someone’s analysis anti-imperialist and anti-colonial. Reactionary propaganda can dangerously be cloaked in such language and I’m not talking about the US context here.

Since April 2023 the Sudanese people have been subject to a devastating war; around 13 million have been displaced; many are experiencing famine. Please donate to @sdnsolidarity.bsky.social, a grassroots mutual aid collective distributing food and providing support on the ground in Sudan

Not to be dramatic, but the fact that euro-American banking restrictions and sanctions still persist for Sudan should be considered a war crime. People are dying of starvation and it is so unnecessarily complicated and damn near impossible to move funds from N. America tô Sudan.
