I wrote an article for @FMReview telling the story of Sawiyan's mobilisation alongside Sudanese & Somali refugee comm in Amman, #JO. Since our de-registration in 2022, we continue to invest in our network of active leaders who see their refusal to give up as a form of resistance.

This is probably the most extraordinary online resource on Sudan. I remember when it was a handful of collections but it seems it has been expanded massively since I last visited. sudanmemory.org

Hind Rajab was afraid of the dark. After killing her family & wounding her, Israel prevented her rescue & left her to die alone in the dark. I write about those critical hours & the film that brings back her voice to induct the world’s silence @newlinesmag newlinesmag.com/review/hind-ra…

Touching and brilliantly written reflection by Jumana Eltigani on water and what it reveals about life, household memory, and war in Sudan. Besides that, it's a sharp insight into the colonial history of science research. preview.wellcomecollection.org/stories/acts-o…
