Ep. 171: A conversation with Mai Hassan, Nisrin Elamin, and Deen Sharp on Sudan

On April 15, fighting broke out in Sudan between the army and a powerful para-military group known as the RSF. Khartoum is the site of much of this fighting and its citizens have been fleeing amid a humanitarian crisis. Three scholars speak about the crisis for this episode, which first aired as a webinar called "Sudan: Insight into Current Events."You'll hear from Mai Hassan, associate professor of political science at MIT, Nisrin Elamin, assistant professor of anthropology at the University of Toronto, and Deen Sharp, visiting LSE fellow in human geography & environment at the London School of Economics and Political Science. The conversation was moderated by Mostafa Minawi. Thank you to the Mario Einaudi Center for International Studies at Cornell University and its Critical Ottoman and Post-Ottoman Studies initiative for hosting the original event and sharing the recording with us and our listeners. Find the books, links, and articles we mentioned in this episode on our website, ufahamuafrica.com.
