Don’t look away from Sudan. It’s been 3 years of the human catastrophe. Let’s raise our voice and educate ourselves. For more information, see our pinned post.

While the world looks away, Sudan is facing a g3n0cid3 where women and children are enduring the worst of the violence,perpetrated by the RSF forces.

And at the same time, systems of exploitation continue to profit.

Across Sudan and South Sudan, the RSF continues its campaign, while gold mining remains a major source of income, built on devastating human cost. Workers, many of them children, are forced into unregulated mines where tunnels collapse, toxic chemicals fill the air, and survival is never guaranteed.

The same systems that exploit the land are entangled with the violence destroying its people.

This is not separate. This is connected.

The extremist group Harkat-ul-Jihad (HuJI) carried out a devastating bomb attack during Chhayanaut’s Pohela Boishakh celebrations at Ramna Batamul in 2001. The attack claimed 10 innocent lives and left many others critically injured, marking one of the darkest moments in the country’s cultural history.

People including children in Congo 🇨🇩 are not just starving. They are being abandoned by the world. There’s gen3cid3 done by Rwandan t3rr0ris-There’s no food, no safety, no future: while the same land they live on generates billions in wealth for the global economy. Let’s say what no one wants to admit: If these children were not Black, the world would not be this silent. Congo is one of the richest lands on Earth yet its children are starving. Not because resources don’t exist. But because their lives are treated as expendable. This silence is not accidental. It is structured. It is global. It is racial. Please follow .rdc and help their individual humanitarian programs to support Congolese people. The least we could do is support grassroots organizations actually working on field and amplifying their voices.

Your whole life becomes marked by that trauma; it stays with you.”

Naomi Samuriwo, a midwife who recently returned from her assignment with Médecins Sans Frontières in South Darfur’s Nyala project, offers a powerful and unsettling reflection on the realities faced by women in Sudan. Drawing from her firsthand experience, she speaks to the pervasive impact of conflict—where sexual violence, displacement, and prolonged instability leave deep, enduring scars across generations.

Her account is not only a testimony, but a call to conscience: we must continue to speak about Sudan, even when the truth is difficult to confront. Silence, she reminds us, only deepens the invisibility of suffering.

Children in Congo 🇨🇩 are not just starving.
They are being abandoned by the world.
There’s no food, no safety, no future: while the same land they live on generates billions in wealth for the global economy.
Let’s say what no one wants to admit:
If these children were not Black, the world would not be this silent.
During the Atlantic slave trade, Black bodies were exploited in the open until it became too morally indefensible to defend publicly.
So the system adapted.
Today, anti-Blackness doesn’t always look like chains.
It looks like neglect. invisibility. indifference.
Congo is one of the richest lands on Earth yet its children are starving.
Not because resources don’t exist.
But because their lives are treated as expendable.
This silence is not accidental.
It is structured. It is global. It is racial. Please follow .rdc and help their individual programs to support Congolese people. The least we could do is support grassroots organizations actually working on field and amplifying their voices.

Women and girls are being targeted systematically, their bodies turned into battlefields.
Hanaan, just 18, was walking with a friend to her makeshift home in a displacement camp in South Darfur when members of the RSF stopped them.
“Two took each girl, and they r***d us.”
This is not an isolated story. It is part of a pattern of terror, control, and dehumanization.
While the world celebrates, looks away, or scrolls past, women and children in Sudan are living through unimaginable violence.
This is what g3n0cid3 looks like.

This is child slavery!!!More than 50,000 children in Congo 🇨🇩 are forced to work in cobalt mines, risking their lives daily to extract cobalt and copper used in batteries for smartphones and electric cars.

In Kamfundwa’s mine in Congo, men, women, and children work in dangerous conditions without proper safety, clean water, or fair wages, extracting cobalt and copper for our smartphones and electric cars. The international community must demand transparency and ethical practices to protect human dignity.

While the world looks away, Sudan is facing a g3n-oc/ide at the hands of the RSF and at the same time, systems of exploitation continue to profit from the country’s suffering.
Across Sudan and South Sudan, gold mining has become a major source of income, but it comes at a devastating human cost. Workers, many of them children are forced into informal, unregulated mines with almost no protection. Tunnels collapse. Toxic fumes suffocate. Extreme conditions make survival uncertain every single time.

But this crisis is not separate from the violence and it is connected to it. The gold trade has been repeatedly linked to funding armed groups, including networks tied to the RSF, helping sustain the very atrocities unfolding today.
Sudan produces tens of tons of gold each year, placing it among Africa’s top producers. Yet much of this wealth is built on exploitation, conflict, and silence.
Behind the shine is a system feeding both profit and genocide and the world continues to ignore it.

TW: Sexual violence, genocide
In 1971, during the Bangladesh Liberation War, the Pakistani military and its collaborators carried out a systematic campaign of genocidal r**e. Between 200,000 and 400,000 Bengali women and girls were violate, many in front of their families. Hindu women were disproportionately targeted.
Some died in captivity. Some took their own lives. Others fled across the border into India.
In the aftermath, survivors, later called Birangona (war heroines), were absorbed into state rehabilitation programs. Yet many were abandoned by their families, rejected by their husbands, and forced into impossible choices: abortions, adoption, silence.
Decades later, recognition remains painfully limited. Only around 400 Birangonas have been officially granted the status of freedom fighters.
This is not just history; it is a wound that still shapes the present.
