Khartoum is Free, But the War Rages On - Updates on the War in Sudan

from From The Periphery Podcast · host From The Periphery

On the 26th of March, the Sudanese army recaptured the capital city Khartoum and expelled the forces of the Rapid Support Forces, which had controlled the city since the start of the war almost 2 years ago. This is a rare moment of joy and celebration amidst an ongoing war which has killed 10s of thousands, and displaced millions of people . The humanitarian catasrophe still going on in Sudan is being described as the worst in human history. Despite that the war still receives very little coverage. So today I, Ayman Makarem, am joined by two brilliant Sudanese commentators, Sarah el-Hassan and Dallia Abdelmoniem, to talk about the recent developments in Sudan as well as giving an overview of the current war and the revolution that it crushed. They talk about the problematic narratives and discourses around the war and the need for internationalist solidarity to support people on the ground. Socials:Sarah is on Instagram, Bluesky, and TwitterDallia on Twitter and BlueskyAyman is on Bluesky⁠ and ⁠Instagram⁠ -- --From The Periphery Podcast is supported by the community around us. ⁠⁠Please consider becoming a member of our Patreon today. ⁠⁠You not only help us make more episodes like this, but you get exclusive access to other content, an invitation to our monthly hangout, and direct contact with the rest of the team.
