Darfur: Did a deep dive with @bbc Focus on Africa on the background to atrocities by the RSF and militias in El Geneina, the difference between ethnic cleansing and genocide, and why documenting abuses now is so important for future accountability: bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p0…

not the mini-shredder 😭😭😭 habibi, are you not ashamed?

will you even be talking to an AI concierge or will you be talking to a poorly paid person of colour in another country ? businessinsider.com/amazons-just-w…

this feels like creating a technical solution for a non technical problem... sigh.

Universities should offer free tuition to Sudanese students but in the meantime, someone needs to set up a scholarship fund for Sudanese students accepted to universities but unable to pay tuition and living expenses. #KeepEyesOnSudan

#Sudan : “We stay away from tragic language. While we are writing about death, we write about it with heroism.”

Yassmin Abdel-Magied reports on atar network, a new publication, which fights to share stories which would otherwise be lost in the horrors of war.

Really glad to have the opportunity to highlight excellent work by Sudanese colleagues around the world. This week, I wrote about atar network for Index on Censorship - if you’re not signed up to #Atar to #KeepEyesOnSudan , what are you doing?

Please read the new landmark report from Human Rights Watch on RSF’s ethnic cleansing in El Geneina, West Darfur. The alleged crimes committed against Masalit communities demand accountability. What’s more, these past atrocities are just a preview of what will happen if El Fasher falls to RSF.

Aren’t airplanes the most amazing feats of engineering ? Like, flying metal birds, y’all. With hundreds of people inside. Subhanallah, subhanallah, subhanallah!!!

'I’m a woman, I’m young, I’m Muslim, I’m left-wing. When people attack me, it’s usually for one – or all – of those reasons.'

I spoke to @ElleUK about dealing with racism and abuse – and how I won't let that stop me from fighting for social justice:

When we talk about famine in Sudan, let's please qualify it as a man-made, political famine (as most famines are), within a context where aid and more critically planting is being obstructed and prevented. #KeepEyesOnSudan #KeepEyesOnDarfur .

I’m in the Netherlands researching the history of the Dutch-wax textile trade. My work focuses on Togolese women traders who imported these textiles from the Netherlands into Togo, and then distributed them throughout West and Central Africa.

Tomorrow, Human Rights Watch will be publishing a major report on atrocities carried out in El Geneina, West Darfur, Sudan. This is the fruit of ten months of work. Stay tuned.

At this point, I assume institutions and politicians are morally bankrupt unless proven otherwise. What a time 😩

This weekend, we saw Muslim voters described as representing the 'Middle East' and portrayals of newly elected councillors using the phrase 'Allahu Akbar' as a threat to British democracy, showing the routine contempt with which British Muslim communities are represented.

The post-election demonisation of Muslim communities represents an active escalation of Islamophobic rhetoric that serves to 'other' these communities and treats UK democracy as a playground for racist politics 🧵
