Making another urgent appeal for Mussab Khairi, a resistance committee member injured during the anti-coup protests of 2021. Mussab needs an urgent neurological surgery to address the internal bleeding from the bullet still in his head.
Thank you!

Hello good peeps, I know so much is going on and that we are all stretched thin with one crisis after the other, but Mussab ( a really good friend and member of the RCs) wont make it without an urgent head surgery.

She didn’t make herself a hero, the west needed a signifier, a simple narrative to reduce the complexity of the revolution. She was the victim, not the culprit.
The Western 'Heroine' created Chao and fled to UK. They should send her back to complete what she started. She created the problem and ran away. The poor masses now bearing the brunt of the ensuing armed conflict in Sudan.

Sudanese men are backing rape victim stories because it serves their political agenda against the RSF. Otherwise rape culture is the norm in Sudan, perpetuated and condoned by these same men.

A two bedroom in Port Sudan, the country‘s last safe haven (supposedly) goes for a little over 7,000$ a month, the daily rate is about 400$. There is a fee of 90 dollars for showing. The Sudanese are caught between the violence of the market and the militia, both deadly.

The long history of violence against Sudanese women in times of peace and war shaped the perpetuation of it since the inception of the April 2023 war. This includes the legal and normative perceptions and practices around accountability and impunity.
'Sexual violence in Sudan is part and parcel of the wider state of lawlessness that has ensued since the latest outbreak of war, in which everything is to be bought, sold, and consumed – women's bodies included.'

I’m not here to defend the army but the RSF did overestimate their popularity/legitimacy (at least) in the centre. The facade of democracy rhetoric and anti-Islamist stance Hemedity hid behind didn’t register much with the public it seems when the moment of reckoning hit. 1/3

At Argeen crossing I met many women on their periods. You could see the look of despair in their eyes. No access to water/bathrooms and limitless waiting times, meant twice the suffering of displacement.
The existential crisis of giving life to men who have no respect for life.

Everywhere in Khartoum, RSF have extended their presence like a colony within neighbourhoods, occupying almost all civilian spaces. Where my parents live they are literally their next door neighbours. This is almost everyone’s experience. What does this mean for SAF operations?

If you are wondering why you should support Sudanese female footballers, their career is a political action against racism (society and social norms of what constitutes femininity), misogyny (occupying public spaces) and maybe even the liberal mainstream of what empowerment is.

Sudan's revolutionaries have reverted to their old tactics of peaceful offence (protesting and occupying the streets) and defence (barracading their neighbohrhoods). From what I hear, not one street is left open to the deadly offences of the military/security. Moral is high.

Across social groups, the one thing that unifies the ‘Sudanese’ experience is the legacy of generational crisis and fear of the future. Where they differ is in their identification of the source of that crisis and selective solutions to end the suffering. National unity is a lie.

Both SAF and RSF are equally culpable in the atrocities of this and previous wars, one the father, the other the son jostling for the upper hand over the spoils of unchecked wealth and power. But the real evil is the mercantile capitalist islamic patriarchal culture spurring it.
