@CelticsGRD Some perspective: at least you weren't a Miami fan who left early during game 6 vs the Spurs

I have a deep dark confession I left my seat with 1:00 left in the half of Game 5 of the NBA Finals to go use the bathroom and I missed Payton Pritchard’s buzzer beater. It’s been 11 days and I still wake up during the night and think about my foolish actions.

@JLummin @Big_Maine100 Paul is the OG point-forward! And now both Phil and Paul have rings as assistant coach. Very cool!

@Big_Maine100 Another fun fact from the 1989-1990 Bucks is that Paul Pressey also played with them and he’s Phil Pressey’s father, Phil Pressey the former Celtic and current Assistant Coach of the Celtics

At least 5 million people in Sudan are one step away from famine – if they’re not there already. That’s why we need to do everything we can to end this war and this suffering, including by cutting off U.S. weapons to the UAE until they stop aiding the RSF.

The @celtics are the 2023-24 NBA Champions!

@hassan_theo Congrats! Well done!

📝 #Sudan: It is important that diplomatic stakeholders not fall for the ‘bad’ and ‘less bad’ framing of the Sudanese conflict, which is promoted by certain influencers who support the Sudanese military junta and Sudan Armed Forces (SAF). These influencers nod to the idea that the Sudanese military and the junta are “imperfect,” while emphasizing that the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) are far worse. They post frequently about RSF violations while warmongering on behalf of SAF and completely ignoring reports of SAF’s own violations. This moral and political outlook ignores the extent to which the junta have actively sabotaged or avoided initiatives to end the war, completely lack political legitimacy, and are behaving in the same ways as the former Bashir dictatorship. The RSF may have started the war and may have committed horrific atrocities, but at this point in the conflict SAF are just as big an obstacle to peace, if not the greater obstacle. (This was not the case earlier in the war, when the RSF were militarily ascendant and were totally uninterested in negotiating). The junta need to come under just as much pressure as the RSF, if not more, otherwise they won’t come to the negotiating table in good faith. It is tempting for outside observers to look for a simple ‘good side’ and ‘bad side’ framing, because it provides a readily understandable lens through which to view the conflict and discuss it. Even many Sudanese intellectuals who wouldn’t otherwise have supported the junta are reluctantly now doing so. This is therefore a narrative that has gained some traction. But the reality is messy, dark, and frightening. SAF are leading the nation down a path of total militarization, suppression of all civic space, ethnic targeting, and humanitarian disaster. It is the 1990s all over again. Supporting one side in the conflict will not end it anytime soon, nor will it salvage any of the triumphs of the Sudanese Revolution (2018-2019), the popular uprising that toppled the Bashir regime. It is important to remember that the Bashir regime never enjoyed any peace—not a single year of peace in 29 years. Just like its predecessor, the current military regime is willing to drag the country into a decade of war or more. This must not be allowed to happen. Pro-SAF influencers are wrong that the war could end in military victory. This doesn't reflect an accurate assessment of the current military realities or conform with the lessons of Sudanese political and military history. Recall that even the British, who enjoyed considerable military advantages, didn't subjugate Darfur until 1916, following the "reconquest" of 1899. This reflected an assessment that conquering the region would have been financially costly and logistically challenging. They preferred instead to recognize the independent sultan, Ali Dinar, until he sided with the Ottomans during the First World War. The best case military scenario for SAF, in my view, is that they retake Wad Madani and Bahri by the end of this year, then recapture Khartoum by the end of 2025. At that point they’ll turn their resources westward, where they’ll be crushed in fighting in the open plains of Darfur and Kordofan, like Hicks Pasha at the Battle of Sheikhan in 1883. They’ll retreat back to the Nile Valley, and the stalemate will continue. In the meantime, Sudan will suffer a decade or more of economic collapse and famine. I'll conclude by noting that diplomatic stakeholders recently seem to have have become more comfortable criticizing the RSF and even its Gulf patron, the UAE, whether directly or implicitly. This reflects a newfound conviction and a certain political orientation that was lacking early in the war. Overall, I think it's a positive development. But it shouldn’t mean supporting SAF, or withholding criticism of it. Both sides bear responsibility for continuation of the war, and pressure on both sides is needed to end it.

@azhaarSholgami In Chicago and can confirm - no mention of Sudan at one of the most diverse community eid. Craziest part is khutbah was by @cairchicago exec.

nothing gives away the imbalances of solidarity in the muslim ummah like khutbas/duaas. Been to over 10 communal prayers in the past days, prayers of the oppressed in diff parts of the world. Barely anything on Sudan. #KeepEyesOnSudan

@minlayla77 I'm just imagining a 4 yo saying "this not a question but more of a comment..." in their adorable voices

@daniel_van0 ماذا تعني "عملية العلم الكاذب"؟

الهجوم في عطبرة كان عملية العلم الكاذب.

@sudanwarmonitor Looks like your color-coded war map needs a serious update!

The Sudan Liberation Movement-Transitional Council (SLM-TC) has withdrawn from the Joint Force of Armed Struggle Movements, the unified command representing several armed groups in North Darfur. sudanwarmonitor.com/p/slm-tc-withd…

@moeAbubaker_ تسلم يا حبيب

@moeAbubaker_ رشا دي خالتي ❤️

Sudan’s humanitarian crisis continues to deepen as civilians live with a third week of a telecommunications blackout preventing access to banking services, mutual aid, and the dissemination of information. Access to food, medication, and essential services remain severely hindered. According to OCHA national food availability has been severely impacted, exacerbating the food insecurity crisis. Outbreaks of infectious diseases continue to rise; over 10,000 cases of cholera have been identified and 296 deaths have been recorded as a result. Humanitarian access continues to be hindered due to “insecurity, looting, bureaucratic impediments, poor network and phone connectivity, lack of cash, and limited technical and humanitarian staff on the ground.” For more detailed information reach OCHAs update: reports.unocha.org/en/country/sud…

@daniel_van0 If the prospect of catastrophic famine, unprecedented displacement, and the impending failure of what's left of the state aren't enough to start the peace process, I don't know what will. Carrots don't work with these people; time for a big stick.

📝 5 disruptive ideas to shake up Sudan’s failing peace process: 1. Invite the Islamic Movement into the process, at least for a meeting. The Rapid Support Forces (RSF) and the civilian Taqaddum coalition will then boycott the process, but that is okay. They will feel threatened by this initiative and will soon return to the table. 2. African and Western mediators/diplomats should begin calling Hemedti a “militia leader,” which will elicit protests from the RSF. Only offer to stop calling him this until he comes to the talks in good faith. 3. Open a direct military channel between the West and the Sudan Armed Forces, either through AFRICOM or a NATO organ (for purposes of dialogue and exchanging of views only—not for support). Such a dialogue could build relationships that could indirectly help Sudan’s peace processes, now and in the future. It is soldiers who make war, and it is also soldiers who must make peace. This also might help prevent Sudan from sliding into Iran’s orbit, as is currently happening. 4. If the Sudan Armed Forces are intransigent, pressure them by threatening to recognize a civilian government-in-exile. If the RSF are intransigent, pressure them by holding talks with SAF in Port Sudan (a sign of legitimization). 5. Increase transparency around the Jeddah and IGAD talks (and any other forum), perhaps even live-streaming portions of the negotiations. A more theatrical process is a way of pushing the competition from the battlefield into a political arena. More theatrics. Otherwise the combatants don't even know there is a peace process. These five ideas doubtless will be criticized, and almost certainly none will be implemented. Nonetheless, I wanted to share this because I believe mediators need to use far more disruptive tactics to achieve peace in Sudan. Look where the traditional, cautious mediation approaches have got us so far: Nowhere. Sudan is sliding into the abyss. Be brave. Do something a little crazy.
