Photographs are not simply an image of something and archaeology is not simply about uncovering humanity's past.
And it’s finally out - our paper on #photography #Sudan and #JebelMoya. It’s open access :-) It’s a collab between archaeologists and colleague from @ExploreWellcome

So very saddened to hear of the passing of Colin Renfrew. He was kind to me and generous with his time and knowledge.

Sudan remains invisible because people are unwilling to see. Same with Palestine. It’s right here in front of our eyes.
Nowhere else on the planet are so many lives at stake as in Sudan today. In large parts of the country there is far too little aid, and far too little protection for civilians. The international community needs to recognise and react to the scale of this crisis:

I’m back in Sudan, which suffers the worst displacement crisis in the world: 14 million people have been driven from their homes by armed groups acting with impunity. Millions receive no real aid nor protection. The few remaining safe areas are bursting at the seams. 1/2

For context, a sack of rice in Omdurman is about 64 US dollars - a university lecturer's salary is 70 dollars. Let that sink in. Now consider what they're demanding at Al Fasher. For a sack of rice.
This RSF militiamen threatens traders bringing in food and fuel supplies in to Al Fashir. Saying if we catch you we will tie you up to the steering wheels of your vehicles and burn you in your car alive. Al Fashir is being starved and not enough people are talking about it #Sudan

There is so much desire for an education, I’ve witnessed this time and again. We are failing so many generations in Sudan.
Students in West Kordofan have started taking their high school qualification exams. Children in Sudan have been through so much, and still expected (and striving) to excel academically. Millions others remain out of school. #KeepEyesOnSudan

An often sidelined issue during wartime is the protection of women’s rights, particularly in areas like SRH, which tends to be neglected both during and after wartime. Andariya is hosting this Facebook Live tomorrow evening to bring much needed attention to spotlight this issue.
Join us on Wednesday 13 Nov at 7:00 PM Sudan time in a Facebook Live where we'll discuss Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights of Sudanese Women; • The conversation will center women’s experiences during difficult times, prioritizing the conflict's effect on them and

Hello new followers - sorry just catching up. I’m mostly a bit quieter on social media in general these days - partly bc work and life are hard, but also for mental health reasons. Usually, I rabbit on about archaeology. And cats :-)

WTF logged back in and apparently I'm following accounts posting uhh adult content. I never followed those accounts. I also appear to have unfollowed accounts I actually like. This place is unbearable.
