As many have pointed out already, this action was in solidarity with SUDAN. Please, the war in Sudan has already been ignored, dismissed and erased enough. Do not contribute to this further.

Let's just take a moment to appreciate this legend 🇵🇸

Macklemore has made it clear in a statement on his Instagram account, that he canceled his concert in Dubai due to the UAE role in the ongoing genocide and humanitarian crisis in Sudan. instagram.com/p/C_Du-kVN09q/…

I have all but stopped bringing up Sudan in polite company. They ask, how are you, and I smile and say fine, because how do you say ‘my uncle escaped a massacre last night’.

The thing that concerns me as a visibly Muslim hijabi black woman who travels for work is not bumping into a riot, but the casual, random, wanton violence. The stabbing at a train station. Acid in your face by a passing car. That sense that if shit goes down, you’re on your own.

It’s been so demoralising seeing Sudan’s war ignored by so many, for so many reasons. Glad to see this piece by Declan Walsh w these devastating images by @ivorprickett make the front page

Coverage of the Sudan war across five pages in today's NYT, with sweeping display of @ivorprickett's stunning images.

I despair at the thought that all the places I know in Sudan have been destroyed. The hospital I was born in. The flat I took my first steps in. The hall I married in. My favourite spot on Nile street, our regular guy in Souq Omdurman. All that remains are rubble, memories.

The situation in Sudan brings me to my knees, every single fucken day. Every time I kneel to pray, I am brought to tears. And then I get up, write some emails, go to meetings, act like all is normal. And sometimes I wonder - does anyone give a f my family is still in a war zone?

Some ticket inspectors seem to revel in their power. On an @LNER train to London, woman is haranguing two young Black men for their tickets. They seem to not have tickets, so I offer to pay. Then and there. She refuses. Calls the police to meet us at the station.

If she hadn’t gotten on her high horse and just accepted my money, @LNER would have won, the boys walked away calm, no police need to be involved. Now, where are we? Who wins? Honestly, shame shame shame.

Anyway, they ended up bolting. She says to the police, get the camera footage. She’s on a crusade to nail these boys, and YET. I was offering to pay for their fare, repeatedly. Smells like racism.
