Please join us at the Northeast Africa Forum's final seminar of the term--18 Jun, 4pm--where we're hosting Harry Cross for a discussion of his newly published book:

Undoing a Revolution: #Sudan & the Politics of Debt

*Hybrid event* Details & webinar registration:
talks.ox.ac.uk/talks/id/d6d...
Event flyer, including abstract: In 2019, a people’s revolution ended the thirty-year reign of Sudan’s military president Umar al-Bashir. A transitional government took power, led by esteemed international economist Abdalla Hamdok and promising a return to civilian rule. But Sudan’s new government quickly imposed a shock therapy programme of cuts, privatisations and devaluation, following the diktat of foreign lenders. In 2021, as Sudan grew poorer, the army seized on popular discontent to launch a coup, burying hopes for a democratic transition. But why did Sudan’s first civilian government in more than a quarter-century bend to the will of creditors at this crucial moment in the country’s history? The answer lies in an unwieldy and unpayable debt burden that has long constricted Sudanese politics and society. Undoing a Revolution narrates the history of sovereign debt in Sudan from independence to the present, revealing the innovative policies adopted by Sudanese governments to manage their place in the global economy. But it also shows how external actors have leveraged the power of debt to impose their will and wreak havoc. With Sudan embroiled in civil war since 2023, Harry Cross explores the political implications of sovereign debt for states and societies across Africa, and around the world.

From “Starvation in Gaza,” Alex de Waal’s latest article for London Review of Books.
Last month the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights expressed concern 'that Israel appears to be inflicting on Palestinians in Gaza conditions of life increasingly incompatible with their continued existence as a group in Gaza. These carefully weighed words evoke the Genocide Convention: Article 2(c) prohibits 'deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part'. Here again, Israel has done its sums, tested its policies and made clear that its permanent security overrides all other obligations. It can have no doubt about the outcomes of its actions. It may do just enough to keep most Palestinians alive. Whether this prevents the destruction of Palestinians in Gaza as a group is another matter.

The dystopia does not end. Libya—already frontline of Europe’s remote control migrant detention centres—now also being considered by US as destination for Palestinians of Gaza in the wake of genocide & ethnic cleansing by the Israeli state.

The liberation of Africans & Palestinians is inseparable.
Trump administration working on plan to move 1 million Palestinians to Libya
Details are murky and no final agreement has been reached, but the plan is under serious enough consideration that the administration has discussed it with Libyan leadership.
