Every winter I think about Khaleel and what he was trying to do to help unhoused and vulnerable citizens. Instead of hiring him as a consultant and contractor, the city wasted taxpayers' money suing him for violating ByLaws, and of course paid a white man to copy Khaleel's idea.
Let’s all remember the sage wisdom of Omar El-Akkad- “One day, when it's safe, when there's no personal downside to calling a thing what it is, when it's too late to hold anyone accountable, everyone will have always been against this.”
Last month they literally called Sudan’s government illegitimate and blocked its head of state from attending the UNGA in New York. Now they want a minerals partnership with Sudan.
Apparently Sudanese sovereignty is negotiable, but Sudanese resources are very much on the table.
Congo's suffering isn't invisible. What gets obscured are the imperial interests stealing its wealth while its people bear the costs. Palestine exposes the machinery of occupation. Congo exposes the machinery of extraction. Both demand our solidarity. Neither should be forgotten.
AS I WRITE THIS, MORE THAN 200 SUDANESE PEOPLE HAVE BEEN KILLED IN EGYPTIAN AIRSTRIKES ON THE NORTH AL WADI MINING AREA.
I AM ONCE AGAIN SCREAMING INTO THE VOID, BEGGING THE WORLD TO GIVE A DAMN ABOUT SUDANESE LIVES. HOW MANY OF US MUST BE KILLED BEFORE THIS WORLD FINALLY GIVES A DAMN? HOW MUCH MORE BLOOD MUST SUDAN SHED BEFORE ANYONE ACTS?!!!!!!

calling it a mental illness would imply that their biases are neurological, thus escaping accountability. it's a sociological issue & should be addressed w. extreme repercussions
Many families in my neighborhood in Sudan are in dire need of food so I'm going to make grocery baskets and distribute among them. Each basket will contain (onions, oil, lentils, rice, flour, beans, sugar and black tea).
I'm starting with 15 baskets and each one costs $40.
He's actively arming Israel and aid cannot get through into Gaza. This is the west washing their hands of the genocide they are participating in. $20 million will go to "police training in the West Bank"
He is complicit
china in africa is one of the worst things in today’s geopolitics and the way people will defend or explain it away is violent considering how widely dangerous the exploitation is: dual coast pollution, ecocide (e.g. overfishing), labor violations, SETTLERS and more
#FreeCongo 🇨🇩 Congo is oftenly not spoken of despite the fact that 6.5 million have lost their life to this genocide, that at least 40,000 children from as young as six are forced to work in mines,that women and girls are SA'd & that it displaced over 6.9 people #CongoIsBleeding
tides have turned on the public opinion on israel which is their worst nightmare

When people ask why Sudanese people focus so heavily on the UAE, this is why. The UAE has waged a war against Sudan’s sovereignty and its people at every level, from the battlefield to the information war.
