"We resist by taking part in the hard exercise of thinking critically about the war and how we stop it. Stopping this war (and future wars) is a result and not an action in itself, a result of us creating the conditions for the people of Sudan to live, produce and reproduce cooperatively."

"This is really counter revolution at its logical conclusion. Like the soft landing, the war is meant to reset Sudan. The result could be the disintegration of the social, political and economic fabric of the country and the removal of the political will of the people."

A couple of years ago, through an exchange with Stacy, we learned that she writes about my Jiddo Sami’s uncles, who operated a textile factory in Madeira. My great grandmother married and stayed in Lebanon/Syria when they went to live in Brooklyn (and then from there to Madeira).
