🟥 “Silence is the language of the oppressor.”
🔳Sudanese journalist Naji-Al Kurshabi breaks down mid-interview, saying he wishes he could write the stories instead of speak them because the pain of saying them aloud is unbearable.
🔳What’s happening in Sudan is not distant. It’s the same story as Gaza, as Syria the world watching while entire families are starved into silence and cities reduced to ash. Oppression has no borders. No colour. No excuse. If you care about justice in Gaza, you must care about Sudan too.
🔴Watch this man’s voice crack then ask yourself why those responsible are still met with handshakes, not handcuffs.

Trump & his ilk want a religious civil war in Nigeria. He doesn’t care about Nigerians. People wake up - Nigerian Christians & Muslims share the same enemy - it’s not a religious war - it’s religious violence against Christians AND Muslims. But it’s Christian Genocide trending.
Trump is exploiting Nigeria with half-truths in order to push the West geopolitical narrative that ‘Islam is the Enemy and Muslims are terrorists’. It’s bullshit.
The corrupt & inept Nigerian govt is responsible & should be accountable for the ongoing persecutions, killings & displacement of Nigerians by Boko Haram, ISWAP & other militant groups.

@SirGeoffPalmer @BeeNubian Death is something inevitable. When a man has done what he considers to be his duty to his people and his country, he can rest in peace. I believe I have made that effort and that is, therefore, why I will sleep for the ETERNITY. Nelson Mandela

This year, @rasaq_malik & I presented a paper that addressed this form of social optics in Nigeria at ALA in a panel org. by @akada . It's one of the most virulent instruments of oppression legitimized in our current democracy. We need to complete that paper when we have the time

Of the anthology, Matthew Shenoda writes, "What’s evident in this gathering of poems is the divergent interplay between aesthetics, histories, cultural traditions, migrations, and their embodiment of spaces that help shape the contours of contemporary African life."
