Proud to be part of the 2025 Conference of the Collective for Afghanistan Studies (a SOAS-based network) held at St. John's College @StJohnsOx University of Oxford where I met colleagues old & new 🧿 Kudos to my friends @RabiaLatif91 @BismellaAlizada @FlorenceShahabi @BarrySadid

Read an extract from @saimabgm's forthcoming debut, THE FIRST JASMINES (@HajarPress), that centres two sisters who – around the dawn of Bangladesh as a nation – are captured by Pakistani soldiers and forced to waste their days in a makeshift prison. buff.ly/vu4zfGC

🚨 BIG NEWS! 🚨 Announcing THE FIRST JASMINES by @saimabgm—winner of the @MFestUK short story competition! In 1971, two Bengali sisters are captured by Pakistani soldiers. In a heartbreaking story of silence and survival, they must make their way back from an unspoken violence.
