In this new Intervention, "Cairo Road", @saramsalem reflects on Lusaka's map as a "living archive" of solidarity, a cartography of anticolonial struggle https://t.co/b96g10olXM

Mass killings of civilians and aid workers continue in Elfashir by the RSF, alongside a growing wave of displacement toward nearby towns such as Tawila. ELFashir is now facing a dire humanitarian catastrophe one of the worst in the world, while the world watches and no one seems able to save innocent lives.

Thanks to brilliant comrades for feedback. https://t.co/VbZmrDouFT

As far as labours of love go, this tops almost everything I have written (5 years in the making) and doesn’t do even a half measured justice to its sources of inspiration.
If anything it is, primarily,a homage to the poetic company of @Imanmersal’s work.
