"When I think of my homeland before 2023, [...], I think of my wedding, where we invited a group of ‘foreigners’ and they found this country they knew so little about would become one of their favourite." <3

Thanks for sharing!!

"This war would not be happening were it not for the revolution, and most importantly, the success of the non-violent, civilian movement that overthrew the authoritarian dictatorship of Omar Al-Bashir."

on the ongoing counterrevolution in Sudan

"‘incomprehensible’... I would balk at describing this as deliberate framing from the belligerent warring parties. Rather, this framing suits outside stakeholders & observers...who have yet to entirely move away from the colonial & imperial understanding of Sudan and wars on the African continent."

Yassmin Abdel-Magied on Sudan: “If I Hear ‘Forgotten’ One More Time, I Might Scream” - The Contrapuntal For Yassmin Abdel-Magied, Sudan emerges beyond war’s shadow and reductive narratives, challenging apathy, confronting historical amnesia, and insisting on deeply human storytelling.

"If I hear the phrase ‘forgotten’ with respect to Sudan one more time, I might scream"

A Crisis of Conflict Resolution, Not Conflict Studies - Dissent Magazine A response to “The Demise of Conflict Studies” from our winter issue, followed by a reply by the authors.

And including the response from Mercy Fekadu. I think her 2nd and 3rd points were the main ones on my mind as I was reading the piece.

The Demise of Conflict Studies - Dissent Magazine An entire industry specializing in mediation, peacekeeping, disarmament, and transitional justice has become largely obsolete.

This is an excellent, thought-provoking piece by @wlacher.bsky.social and @yguichaoua.bsky.social discussing the subject (and industry) around conflict studies. Its a piece I'll be chewing on for the next couple of days, and something I've been feeling as well
