Salaam to all the new followers I seem to have gained in the last 24 hours! After a long hiatus, I am currently trying to relearn how to be insightful on social media. I largely attempt to post about interconnections between the Palestinian struggle and other anticolonial struggles around the world.

Can anyone recommend good accounts to follow on TikTok? Looking for content about politics, current affairs, etc., especially those with a focus on Africa and West Asia.

For all the talk of the tide of the international community turning towards supporting Palestine, today's statements of support for Trump's plan from global majority states show that although Israel may be a pariah, a free Palestine is still an inevitability that the intl community cannot tolerate.

Happy to announce that The Kashmir Question is finally out on @thefirethesetimes.com with Ather Zia, Hafsa Kanjwal and @karakmufti.bsky.social

Part 1, Origins, is out on all podcast apps.

The full episode is already available on Patreon here: www.patreon.com/posts/135686... @fromtheperiphery.com
The Kashmir Question Guest host Abdulla Moaswes, a Palestinian scholar and old buddy of mine, is joined by two scholars of Kashmir, Ather Zia and Hafsa Kanjwal to talk about Kashmir. It’s a long episode, but that’s because we wanted to make sure to present Kashmir’s history on its own terms, a Kashmir perspective that does not center Pakistan and certainly not India (or China). This episode will be published in 3 parts on the various podcast feeds. The full version is only available on Patreon. For much of the last 3 decades, Kashmir has been among the most militarised places on Earth, with its territory divided between the three nuclear-armed states of India, Pakistan, and China. Earlier this year, events in the region acted as a prelude to an armed confrontation between India and Pakistan, which the former used as an opportunity to more deeply entrench an emergent settler colonial form of rule in the territory. Many view the Kashmir question as simply a territorial dispute between these three states, but as this podcast series will demonstrate, the Kashmir question is one about colonial occupation and anticolonial resistance. In this podcast series, Hafsa, Ather and Abdulla first outline the origins of the Kashmir crisis, explaining how the region came to be partitioned as a result of British and Indian colonialism. They contextualise Kashmir’s colonisation within the project of Indian statebuilding, as well as the territory’s relevance to regional geopolitics. In part 2, they discuss Kashmiri resistance over the decades, including the events that led to and comprised the Kashmir Intifada that broke out in the late 1980s. The third and final episode consists of an assessment of Kashmir’s current status and the guests’ outlook for the future. Ather Zia is an associate professor in the Department of Anthropology and the Gender Studies program at the University of Northern Colorado, Greeley as well as a poet, short fiction writer, and columnist. Hafsa Kanjwal is an associate prof…
