About 48% of the world's cobalt reserves are in Congo, but 70% of the world's mined cobalt comes from there.

Cobalt is toxic to touch and breathe - and there are hundreds of thousands of poor Congolese people touching and breathing it day in and day out.

So the South African Foreign Affairs Minister Dr. Naledi Pandor and her family are being threatened for her (& South Africa's) support of Palestine. Surprise surprise western media hasn't said a thing about it.

"I think one of the things we must not allow is a failure of courage."

She has my respect, truly. God protect this woman and her family 🙏🏾

i had shared what is happening in sudan on a long facebook post last night, but it virtually received almost little to no engagement or shares from the nearly 600 “friends” i have on the site.

this morning, my great-aunt was shot by the soldiers fighting for power, and God forbid, i lose more of my family members before eid this friday.

please read below to understand what is happening and how you can help my country. i hope the tumblr community can show more kindness than the lack of support and advocacy i’ve seen elsewhere.

يا رب اجعل هذا البلد آمناً 🇸🇩

the lack of awareness and advocacy from the African, Arab, and Muslim diaspora and the human rights community has been painful.

while Western media has done little to no coverage of the ongoing conflict in the capital city of my motherland, Sudan, it appears that the rest of the world also partakes in normalizing crimes and violence against SWANA people.

violence and war hurting the SWANA region are NOT ordinary occurrences — no one, regardless of race, creed, ethnicity, religion, and gender, should experience the unprecedented amount of violence that harms my two living grandmothers, aunts and uncles, and baby cousins who live in Khartoum.

your decision to ignore reading or educating and discussing with others about what is likely to be a civil war is complicity in viewing SWANA people as individuals who regularly experience conflict and are undeserving of help.

the silence is damaging, and it is up to us as privileged members of the diaspora (or individuals living in the Western world committed to human rights) to support the people of my country and their dream for a stable, democratically elected government.

what is happening in Sudan is a fight that started on April 15 between two competing forces for power — the Sudanese Army and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) — neither groups are representative of the needs of our people. The Sudan Army is loyal to the dictator, Omar Al-Bashir, and the RSF is responsible for the genocide in Darfur.

with both power struggles backed by different Arab and Gulf nations, the two parties have been fighting for power for the last few years. While they worked together to try and end the people’s revolution, they lost. however, they are now in a constant power play of who will get to rule the nation.

this all means that war is NOT a reflection of my country — violence does not represent the SWANA people. Sudan is a nation of beautiful culture, strong women, intellectual and influential Islamic scholars, poets, and youth at the front lines of the revolution. we are a people committed to a region of peace for ourselves and the rest of the Ummah.

my family and the rest of Sudan’s innocent civilians are at the most risk, with many currently without drinking water, food to eat, electricity, and complete blockage to any mosques during the final nights of Ramadan, our holiest month of the year.

i ask that you please keep Sudan and our people in your prayers — donate to the Sudan Red Crescent or a mutual aid GoFund Me, email your representatives if you live in a country that can put pressure on either competing force of power, discuss this with your family and friends, and please do not forget to think about SWANA people — our brothers and sisters in Syria, Yemen, Lebanon, and many others need our love and support.

"We cannot remain silent. No-one can remain silent when there is an ongoing genocide and when people are denied the most basic human needs … To stand with Palestine is to be human."

Greta Thunberg calls out Israel's genocide during a speech in Leipzig, Germany.

“Human shields” “affiliated with Hamas” “self defence” “tunnels”

It’s the same recycled arguments without ever addressing the actual issue at hand and with no real basis in reality or truth and no evidence.

Everyone who sees through their lies, questions them, criticizes them, so much as thinks negatively about them, is now “Hamas”.

Okay buddy.

These are the same people who started saying that the UN workers who were trying to help out in the border (and got murdered by them…more than 100 UN worker’s have been killed) are affiliated with Hamas, and that the whole organization was too.

Same thing about every Palestinian journalist documenting what’s going on.

This is the same country that called every Palestinian tho was killed since October 7 a “terrorist” and that “the children of Gaza brought this on themselves”

Keep in mind the legal team used Israel official’s own words against them, camera footage evidence, and even Israeli civilians themselves boosting about the Palestinian deaths, (amongst other things) in court. Like it’s all so very public, yet simply pointing it out (and acknowledging WAR CRIMES) makes you 1) a terrorist and 2) an antisemite. Apparently.
