I am telling you once more that there is something particularly sick about people who benefited from the courageous activism of previous generations of Blacks & Asians in Britain spitting on that legacy. Home Office can cancel me any number of times, I'll keep repeating
Home Seceretary Shabana Mahmood tells @bbcLauraK it’s her “duty” as child of migrants from the Enoch Powell era to stamp out illegal migration. Irony? Hypocrisy? Tell us what you think. #bbclaurak #BBCNews #sundayvibes #Immigration #Denmark #Asylum #refugee

I wrote this essay in the current Sudan issue of Transition Magazine titled "The Politics of Hunger" which argues that the current hunger crisis has been decades in the making. It begins with Nimeiri and looks at US engagement over the decades. https://t.co/WJqVU0pznc

I'm noticing mostly yt N. American folks decry/complain abt the little attention Sudan is finally getting from non-Sudanese on this platform. The Global Majority has always had to focus on multiple places, atrocities bcs of the ways US empire connects us across geographies.

I feel like I need to explain why Sudani orgs need our support. It's because they're the main ones there. Sudanese initiatives and volunteers are also the ones who can get the easiest and quickest access to affected communities. #KeepEyesOnSudan
Right now, orgs & initiatives on the ground need our financial support to help the thousands of displaced. For a list of some orgs: https://t.co/gWm7koOegO (urgent causes) If you can’t contribute, then fundraise. And make sure Sudan stays on EVERYONE’s mind! #KeepEyesOnSudan

Muammar put himself at great personal risk through his journalistic work to show the world the suffering facing civilians in El Fasher. Journalists and news outlets relied on him as a partner on the ground for footage and reporting. Now he’s been abducted. Those same

For the first time in 8 years since the Windrush scandal was exposed, people will receive compensation for pension losses but campaigners say you need legal representation to even make a successful claim & victims don’t get that help

The way so many of you conveniently forget about the working class communities within your diaspora groups is indicative of your desire to assimilate with the very structures that continue to oppress us all.
