Frustrated rant thread: Israel's 2023-2024 bombing campaign of Lebanon killed >4,000 people, the grand majority, civilians with no affiliation with any armed entity. Among them, anywhere from a dozen to 30 African migrants (maybe more), most of them Ethiopian women employed as domestic workers.

"So the far center is liberal, in that its highest value is freedom; but it is also reactionary, in that its vision of freedom lacks any corresponding vision of justice." This piece is fire. I can think of a host of people who need to read it but would respond badly to having it sent to them.

This important article takes to task the transitional government in Sudan and the policy demands of many khawajat who sell themselves on this website as "experts" on Sudan, holding both responsible for the coup and ensuing war. A must read. www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

Historians of Africa: anyone have a favorite primary source, ideally short and textually rich? Making an assignment for grad students. Bonus if it's a colonial document.

Absolutely shameful. This veto stands out as an example of moral cowardice. Palestine deserves better, AHA deserves better, and the discipline deserves better.

Medani the capital of Gezira state in central Sudan has come under the control of the army. It’s been a site or horrendous war crimes and massacres since it fell under RSF control over a year ago. (1/2)

This article makes the critical error, common in the US, of assuming that this war will end due to external intervention, when the answer isn't *more* intervention, it's less-and using US power to ensure that other powers do less as well. #HandsoffSudan www.ft.com/content/e120...

In Sudan, localised efforts have been on the frontlines of the humanitarian response to the war, explains Jawhara Kanu. Policymakers must respond to growing reports of famine, while centering Sudanese voices to circumvent the division of the country and to bring an end to the war.

Remember, kids! We do not talk to cops, unless we are a white US citizen and the cops are ICE showing up to look for our coworkers or neighbors, in which case we talk to la migra about their warrant VERY LOUDLY AND SLOWLY to give our community time to be Somewhere La Migra Isn't.
