White coat protests remind me of a Sudanese university student whom I met in 2015. She led a sit-in at the hospital in her mid-sized town to highlight the urgent need for more medical supplies. This uprising is underpinned by many years of creativity and bravery #SudanUprising

Absolutely, @3ozaz. #Sudan 's peaceful protestors have been very aware of the role they could play in inspiring other movements in the region. And the message spreading to the region now? Repression works & there are few consequences. Leaders in the region have surely taken note.

Awe-inspiring pics coming out of Sudan today, as planned marches commemorate 40 days - the traditional grieving period - since the June 3rd massacre.

Over the past two years Sudanese artists have captured the hope of a nation & mobilized the masses to Sudan's nonviolent revolution. It was inspiring to work w/ mojo gallery, Assil Diab , galal yousif , Merghani Salih , ود البيه & others on this piece. tinyurl.com/y5ygpd3p

(1/2) Saddened by the passing of Acko igor, a brilliant analyst and a friend to many. In meetings large and small, in Bangui and internationally, Igor broke down CAR's complexity and pushed us to look beyond the easy explanations. Thank you, Igor.

(2/2) Igor was always keen to talk CAR but he also wanted to know how you were doing, ask about your kid, share a beer. His quiet ability to connect helped him in his research, too. Rest in peace, Igor. usip.org/publications/2…

Last year, while working at my hometown paper I was banned from covering protest stories after calling out a racial double standard. A year later, I returned to Pittsburgh as a reporter for VICE News to see how those same protests are shaping the upcoming mayoral race.

(1/2) Tension in Honduras as Nov 2017 elections approach. Supreme Court invalidated Art. 239 of 1982 constitution #electingpeace #honduras
