Dr. Sudanese

Canada, the UK, Australia, Germany, South Africa, and the Gulf Arab states all offer physicians clear, stable work and immigration pathways you can plan around years in advance. The U.S. does not. For doctors, the system is unpredictable and can change overnight. Even if you do everything by the book, you still cannot travel freely in and out. It can take one random decision to throw years of investment out the window. Many doctors do not leave the U.S. unless really necessary or until they are board certified in their specialty.

@RandomSudanese @megrenalkhayatt كلام كبير يا دكتور وماذا كنت لتختار؟ بالنسبة لدوله ذات مسار واضح كما وصفت

يقبل كل سنة في برامج البورد في الولايات المتحدة الأمريكية 7,000–8,000 طبيب تخرجوا من خارج أمريكا (International graduates) وهو ما يعادل 20-30% من مجموع المقاعد هؤلاء المقبلون يعاملوا كأطباء بكامل الحقوق في أمريكا (لا يحتاجون إلى بعثة) لكنهم بالتأكيد يجب أن يكونوا حاصلين على ECFMG Certificate السؤال لك كسعودي: لماذا لا تقبل التحدي وتنافس على هذه المقاعد؟ ماذا ينقصك؟

Standardized tests are not perfect, but they are still the closest thing we have to an objective, apples-to-apples measure, and they help keep the process fair. Remove standardized tests and you do not eliminate inequity. You simply shift power toward the advantages that are hardest to see and easiest to buy. For all their flaws, standardized exams remain one of the most leveling tools we have.

If you *only* used SAT to admit to elite colleges, share of admits from top 1% income falls 15.8% → 9.9% and representation from <$200k rises by +8.8%, with no reduction in post-college outcomes. It's 'holistic review' and 'ban SAT' policy that allows the most wealthy and powerful to virtue signal while getting an edge.

Thank you, President Trump, for drawing global attention to the immense suffering in Sudan. The atrocities committed by the RSF terrorist militia have driven millions of innocent civilians into starvation, displacement, and unimaginable violence, shattering peaceful communities that had stood for more than a century. Your acknowledgment of the scale of this tragedy brings urgently needed visibility to a crisis that has far too often been overlooked. Our utmost gratitude as well to His Royal Highness Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, who, in my view, has been the single best thing to happen to the Arab and Muslim world in the past 100 years. His transformative leadership, strategic vision, and steadfast engagement in regional stability efforts are deeply appreciated. Sudan urgently needs coordinated international action to halt the violence, open humanitarian corridors, and protect innocent lives. Every voice that speaks clearly and decisively about what the Sudanese people are enduring brings us closer to relief, accountability, and hope. Thank you for using your platform to highlight this humanitarian disaster. #Sudan #CrownPrinceInUSA #Trump

The Anatomy of Misreading Sudan: The massacre in El Fasher and the wider atrocities since 2023 were tragically predictable. Years of state erosion, militia proliferation, and a social order anchored in lineage and allegiance created a combustible landscape. Outside a few urban enclaves, Sudan functions in a pre-modern context where authority is negotiated through kinship, customary leaders, and protection networks—especially in Darfur, where politics, security, and justice are organized along tribal lines. Too often, diaspora voices and pundits import Western or Khartoum-centric frames and compress Sudan’s conflicts into single-cause explanations about anti-Blackness, religion, or ideology. These factors exist and may contribute, but they are secondary to the country’s foundational sociology and history. This misreading has produced poor diagnoses, flawed peace formulas, and humanitarian responses that do not match realities on the ground. That is why many past interventions, led by political commentators or members of the diaspora projecting their own lived contexts, failed to secure lasting peace. Effective policy must start with the anthropology of governance. Map the real power centers, especially tribal structures in Darfur; align incentives for civilian protection; tie aid and security guarantees to measurable restraint by armed actors; and rebuild state capacity that incorporates local legitimacy rather than bypassing it. Precision in diagnosis is the first protection. When we misread the foundations, we misdefine the conflicts and miss the path to solutions.

Satellite images from Oct 27-28 show piles of bodies in the courtyard of Al Fashir Children’s Hospital. The genocidal, tribal-supremacist, racist, terrorist militia known as the Rapid Support Forces turned a children’s hospital into a mass execution ground. Many are projecting their own frames to explain this. It is not about religion, ideology, politics, or Arabs vs non-Arabs. It is principally a campaign of tribal supremacy: a systematic domination effort by RSF-aligned nomadic Baggara groups in Darfur directed at other Sudanese communities. Civilians are targeted on the basis of tribal identity and ethnicity. The strategic objective is territorial control through land seizure and forced displacement. Those who know Sudan’s history understand that this pattern of violence and archaic atrocities did not begin today. It recurs from the 1800s in the Mahdist era, through the 1980s, and into the Darfur wars of the early 2000s, pervasive behaviors and atrocities perpetrated by the same social-military networks. Successive governments ignored it, failed to restrain it, or weaponized it for power, producing today’s consequences. Accountability is a precondition for prevention. Designate the RSF a terrorist organization, de-weaponize its tribal and social networks, sanction its financiers, and mandate access for investigators—or the cycle will repeat. #Sudan #ElFashir #RSF #WarCrimes

The horrors in Darfur’s El-Fasher were no accident — they were the RSF's plan all along. The RSF has waged terror and committed unspeakable atrocities, genocide among them, against the Sudanese people. The RSF must be called what it is: a foreign terrorist organization and officially designated as one. America is not safer, secure or more prosperous with the RSF slaughtering thousands.

When @HRL_YaleSPH saw apparent pools of blood in satellite imagery from El Fasher, I at first couldn’t believe it. However, it is what we are seeing. The horror, scale, and velocity of killing happening now unlike anything I’ve ever seen in a quarter century of doing this work.

🔵 Keep your eyes on Sudan. A true genocide and campaign of ethnic cleansing are currently unfolding in El Fashir at the hands of the RSF (Aka Janjawaed), a terrorist, genocidal, racist and tribal-supremacist militia with roots in nomadic tribal groups from Darfur, Chad, and the wider Sahel wrecking havoc on Sudanese communities for three years non stop. Unarmed Sudanese civilians, including women, children, and the elderly, are being executed in the streets; the bloodshed is vast, undeniable and can be detected out from space. Entire families are being erased simply for belonging to the “wrong” Darfuri tribe. This is not new, similar tribal motivated violence struck the riverine and Nubian communities in Madani and northern villages a year ago. This is not about ideology, religion, or Arab versus African. It is a campaign of tribal supremacy led by militarized Baggara-aligned Darfuri nomadic groups within the RSF to seize land, displace and dominate other communities in Sudan. The world’s silence is deafening. There is almost no media coverage, no international outrage, no emergency sessions, and no global mobilization. Only the quiet suffering of a people abandoned again. To those watching from afar: silence is complicity. Document every video, every testimony, every grave, and every name. History must not forget the victims, and justice will one day find those responsible for the slaughter of innocent Sudanese, including the man behind it, Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo. #Sudan #ElFashir #Darfur

After two years of trying, we finally made it to North Darfur. We went to camps sheltering thousands of people who risked their lives to escape the RSF's suffocating siege on Al Fashir. They shared horror story after horror story of RSF torture. news.sky.com/story/sudan-wa…
