Nobody is charging Jews with anything. People are charging the Israeli state and its Western funders with an ongoing genocide that is being funded with our tax dollars. False statements like this erase the courageous resistance of Jewish people standing up against genocide.

Here is a🧵 for those considering evacuating from Port Sudan. It’s a long journey but possibly the most affordable and best option for our ppl with visa restrictions i.e. men under 50 and non-Sudani African and Arab citizens. I am really tired so pls forgive typos. (1/10+) 🧵

This! The UAE has invested billions in Sudanese land, real estate and infrastructure and knows that a civilian government will reverse all the lucrative deals it has signed to extract Sudanese resources. #KeepEyesOnSudan

absent from the growing discourse around the several ongoing genocides is the land, resource and culural "grabs" that are happening // the UAE's largest security risk is potable water & arable land. this is about securing state survival in the face of climate change

The Emiratis +Saudis have spent a combined $27 billion in Sudanese land, real estate + infrastructure projects during the latter part of the Al-Bashir regime +were the first to bankroll the coup regime, even if they play diff roles now. I am a researcher, I have receipts. #Sudan

This!!! The numbers are severely underreported and so many people have died due to lack of healthcare, medicines, adequate food etc…that are unaccounted for. I don’t think I know any Sudanese who have not lost a loved one.

The war in #Sudan is purposefully framed to appear like it has nothing to do with the average N. American, but wars are a billion $ business, your pension funds, tax dollars, mutual fund investments, that uncle working in PR or mining, all of it implicates so many of us directly.

Can we stop using the word civil war or conflict to describe what is happening in Sudan? This is a power struggle, a hijacking of the country but not a civil war. #sudan_update

When wars expand, people get killed not only by bullets, bombs and missiles but also by starvation, epidemics and lack of basic health services/medicines. In #Sudan over 25 million are said to be food insecure + at risk and intl. aid/assistance is barely trickling in.

Not only should TT academic partner hires become more of the norm in academia, universities also need to support non-academic (liveable wage/full benefits) partner hires, particularly for working-class partners and families. #AcademicTwitter

It’s been 11 months of war in Sudan. 11 months of violence and devastation. 11 months of displacement and destruction. 11 months of families separated and homes lost. 11 months of us yelling loudly at the world, only to be labeled “forgotten”. We will not forget. #KeepEyesOnSudan

#Sudan records largest child displacement in world with ~3 million children forcibly displaced. Further escalation of war is forcing more children to flee their homes & at risk of violence, abuse & exploitation. Fighting should stop for children to be safe & well, learn & play.

Genocides require consent and complicity and I’m finding it increasingly difficult to engage, tolerate, try to hear out (sit through a whole meeting with) genocide deniers and supporters especially the liberal kind. And I’m not only talking about Palestine.

The history of South Sudan is the history of Sudan (the fact that Sudan’s national army SAF killed over 2 million civilians most of whom were black southerners since 1983 more b4) is not only hist. context it is the necessary framework of analysis 4 what is happening at present.

Over 100 academics have been killed in #Gaza along with members of their families. Many played pivotal roles in advancing research at Gaza’s universities. Most were deliberately targeted and killed in Israeli airstrikes on their homes in this genocidal war.

I'm struck by how easily African intellectuals, particularly those based on the continent, are so easily dismissed as one-sided, biased, too radical in elite academic circles, but when a Euro-American leftist says almost the same thing, they are widely published and cited.

US politicians and think tanks are using atrocities and genocidal violence in Ethiopia and Sudan to justify their support for Israel’s genocidal attack on Gaza. They need take our people’s names out their mouths. #NotInOurName

Unfortunately, the violence in Israel and Gaza is not unparalleled. Not even close. Secretary General Guterres must have a short memory - over 500,000 have died in the conflict in #Tigray and Northern Ethiopia since 2020, the vast majority of which have been civilians. (1/2)

Sometimes I get angry at the Gulf states in particular, for not doing the same and more...and then I remember that over 100,000 Yemenis were killed in a brutal war led by these same governments (using Sudanese troops) and with US support.
