Bisan is at Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis and is surrounded by the IOF, she has no internet to cover what's happening, and there is carpet bombing all around the hospital.
Remember Canada, for more than 160 years, had a state-sponsored "residential school" system that was designed to eradicate the language and culture of the country's Indigenous population.
Birds of a settler colonial feather flock together.
If you're dining indoors right now or shopping maskless, you are going to get Covid. The wastewater does not lie and it's everywhere. You might not have symptoms but that won't make it less bad for your body. It's not too late to put on a mask and avoid another infection.
A group of Sudanese influencers have made this video to increase the global awareness about what is happening in Sudan!
Please watch and help spreading it around.

If you saw it, its your responsibility to spread it!
Update thread: The complexities and the background of the situation in Sudan.
I will try in this thread to give everyone a background about how the RSF started, why did they became so powerful, what is their motive to do all of this and what was the trigger to start the war.
This is what 40,000 child slaves look like while working in the cobalt mines of Congo. You don't need to upgrade your cellphone every year, maybe you shouldn't buy that electric car you were thinking about buying and vapes aren't good for our health anyway
Bisan’s latest message is beyond terrifying and heartbreaking. The defeatism, and fear of journalists and civilians since renewed bombing makes it all the more important that we advocate for them.
He says ‘I’m done with sharing images. Now trying to survive surrounded by tanks. I shared enough.. our situation is beyond catastrophic. We are not sharable content. We are a people being exterminated and a cause not to be forgotten. We are alone’ 💔💔
BREAKING: Israeli occupation forces just executed two Palestinian boys in the streets of Jenin, occupied West Bank.
They shot them with live bullets in the head.
One was only 9 years old, and the other was 15.
They were just children.
Here’s a personal story about Palestinian child prisoners:
- In 2012, I was arrested in Hebron while participating in a march to open Shuhada street, which was a main market street for Palestinians until the Israeli military shut it down, and made it for Israeli settlers only. It’s part of the area @JamaalBowmanNY visited.
- Handcuffed and blinded by pepper spray, and thrown in the back of an Israeli humvee after my head was slammed against it, the soldiers drive off. They suddenly stop, run out, and all I hear is a child screaming and crying.
- This child is then thrown on top of me, and is handcuffed. I ask him his age, he said 13. I asked him what happened, he says he was walking to his sister’s house and they just stopped and picked him up. He’s in panic mode crying “my sister cooked lunch for me, she’ll be terrified if I’m lost”. I tell him not to worry, we’ll make it out and give him the basic tips: You have a right to remain silent, don’t say anything without a lawyer…etc.
- We get to the Israeli military outpost, we’re dragged out of the humvee. The kid’s terrified, telling them not to blind him (He thought I was blinded because of the pepper spray, I couldn’t open my eyes).
- The smack the kid around and tell him to shut up.
- We wait a bit, then kid is called in for interrogation.
- The Israeli military interrogator literally tells him: I’ll let you go home, you just need to confirm the guy with you led the protest and told you to throw the stones at us.
- Kid says I want to call my family/lawyer. Interrogator says ok: Picks up mobile and gives it to kid. Kid puts in his mother’s number. Soldier snatches mobile. The mother answers. Soldier says: Your son is going to go to jail and if he doesn’t talk I’ll come and arrest you too. Puts it on speaker, mother is panicking. Kid starts to panic. Soldier hangs up in her face.
- Soldier tells kid: I can make your family’s life hell. But if you say what I told you to say, everything will be ok.
- Kid starts sobbing and says: But I don’t know this guy I just met him in the humvee when you picked me up. Sitting outside the room, I yell: Kid, stay strong, say your truth and don’t fall into his lies.
- They come and take me away. Thirty minutes later kid comes out of interrogation shaken. He says the soldier told him he’d shoot his mother. The poor child told me not to worry though, he only said the truth 🥺.
- The case brought against this poor kid was stone throwing, with two soldiers “testifying” they saw him throw a stone.
- He spent 3 months in prison as court hearings kept getting delayed, eventually he was advised by his lawyer to “admit” to stone throwing because that way he’d spend less time in prison because the lawyer could be able to negotiate his release in 4 months, while waiting for a ruling from Israel’s military courts could take a year.
- In short, working on this issue in Palestine for 12 years, I can tell you the majority of child arrests in Palestine follow this exact pattern:
- Israel wants to teach a Palestinian community a lesson, deterring people from protesting its oppression.
- It targets the kids, arresting dozens - up to 700 a year.
- Majority of kids get abused and interrogated.
- Lawyers and kids know it’s better to “confess” even if they didn’t do the crime, as waiting for a ruling and being in uncertainty/limbo is hell. That’s why you have a 95% conviction rate.
- Then the Israeli government, when challenged for the systematic abuse, comes out and says: “These kids are terrorists - they attacked our soldiers and admitted to it.”
- And because the lives of Palestinian children don’t matter, the world turns a blind eye again and again and again and again.
