During each of the previous assaults on Gaza, Sudanese women brought their gold - their only asset and means for security - to send aid to the people of Palestine. Do not dishonor my people by using Sudan's suffering as a zionist shield.

This is important. During famines in Sudan in the 1980s, rural dwellers would leave their land in moments of food unavailability (from systematic dispossession followed by crop failures) and take up exploitatively low wage jobs in cities in order to get food, creating essentially a slave economy.
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.

🧵 Thread of resources on various aspects of Sudanese history/archival attempts (loosely defined). Will be slowly adding to this throughout the week, focusing on the labour of individuals/smaller scale attempts rather than larger grant-funded institutional ones. Feel free to add.

Look, the Nobel Peace Prize has *never* been the arbiter of good works. Maria Corina Machado takes her place among Abiy Ahmed, Henry Kissinger, and Theodore Roosevelt. That good people sometimes get awarded it is just proof that a broken clock is correct twice a day.

I've said it before and will say it again: people who use endnotes have something to hide and should not be trusted.
Endnotes are never acceptable, and this is one of my most strongly-held writing beliefs.

the people at the institutions they are admitted to are unwilling to help them find funding, or even write letters in support of their visa applications. Without that support, it’s almost impossible to get a N. American visa. (2/3)

Push your institutions to designate scholar at risk funds + other support that may already exist for Ukrainian students. It’s heartbreaking to see how many Sudanese students exhaust all their resources w/o any support from the institutions and faculty who admitted them. (3/3)

I'm sorry but given that Sudanese live tweeted and live streamed multiple massacres including the day the RSF took Medani - we saw footage of corpses & people digging mass graves in real-time - I'm actually so tired of any explainer that indirectly suggests we are the reason for the lack of empathy.
