The people of Sudan are enduring unimaginable suffering - and the world is watching. I have written to the Foreign Secretary demanding the suspension of arms sales to the UAE.

🟥 “Silence is the language of the oppressor.” 🔳Sudanese journalist Naji-Al Kurshabi breaks down mid-interview, saying he wishes he could write the stories instead of speak them because the pain of saying them aloud is unbearable. 🔳What’s happening in Sudan is not distant. It’s the same story as Gaza, as Syria the world watching while entire families are starved into silence and cities reduced to ash. Oppression has no borders. No colour. No excuse. If you care about justice in Gaza, you must care about Sudan too. 🔴Watch this man’s voice crack then ask yourself why those responsible are still met with handshakes, not handcuffs. @MENAUncensored @waladkosti

Trump & his ilk want a religious civil war in Nigeria. He doesn’t care about Nigerians. People wake up - Nigerian Christians & Muslims share the same enemy - it’s not a religious war - it’s religious violence against Christians AND Muslims. But it’s Christian Genocide trending. Trump is exploiting Nigeria with half-truths in order to push the West geopolitical narrative that ‘Islam is the Enemy and Muslims are terrorists’. It’s bullshit. The corrupt & inept Nigerian govt is responsible & should be accountable for the ongoing persecutions, killings & displacement of Nigerians by Boko Haram, ISWAP & other militant groups.

It's probably a burner account.

I don’t know if this is the burner account of @akada or @james_yeku. Gentlemen, next time just say the truth with your chest 😁

Well said, Prof.
This year, @rasaq_malik & I presented a paper that addressed this form of social optics in Nigeria at ALA in a panel org. by @akada . It's one of the most virulent instruments of oppression legitimized in our current democracy. We need to complete that paper when we have the time

Of the anthology, Matthew Shenoda writes, "What’s evident in this gathering of poems is the divergent interplay between aesthetics, histories, cultural traditions, migrations, and their embodiment of spaces that help shape the contours of contemporary African life."
Replying to @rasaq_malik
@rasaq_malik and I are grateful for this labor in documenting new voices for African urbanity. We are excited to share the cover of our work with you, and are ever indebted for the praises we received on this work from scholars and poets.

African countries queued up “in a corridor” in Washington to ask the IMF for loans, Kenyan Finance Minister John Mbadi revealed, adding that he felt embarrassed and demeaned. “Then you’re called in one by one: Nigeria! Rwanda!”

The government of @officialABAT is a disgrace, arraigning under age children for capital punishment for protest after starving them for months. Look how malnourished and unkept they look. This is an egregious crime against humanity. #TinubuMustGo!

The Nigerian politicians who stole the funds meant for the future of these underaged kids are the same, prosecuting them for participating in protests seeking an END to BAD GOVERNANCE. #RevolutionNow
