There is a striking similarity between the language being used online against Rohingya in Malaysian online (mainly FB) spaces today & what was used against them in Myanmar in the time prior to the genocide.
Hateful, dehumanising, scapegoating & inciting violence against them.

Knife graphic wishing for “13 May” violence circulated in Malaysian Facebook spaces targeting Rohingya. It was up ~48 hours & had hundreds of comments before removal.
I’ve posted screenshots + translations showing the wider Facebook hate-speech ecosystem.

I watched this yesterday and I found this a good starting point. The author of this video also made a summarizing comic which links to resources which seem useful to gain insight into this war: unicornriot.ninja/2022/revolut...

Long-ish read but super essential. The inability for the Western Left to stand in solidarity with the Syrian Revolution presents a rupture that is still widening. There needs to be a reckoning if we're ever to build a real, tangible internationalism.

Every single one of us with family in Egypt knows people who died crossing the border. This Ayin piece on death and detention in Aswan is one of the few to report in detail on the immediate experiences of Sudanese fleeing into Egypt, alongside local acts of solidarity. 3ayin.com/en/sudans-st...

I'm seeing non-Sudanese on here say they don't know where to get daily news reports on Sudan - Sudanese outlets that also report in English include: Radio Dabanga, Ayin Network, and Sudan Tribune (links: www.dabangasudan.org/en, 3ayin.com/en/, sudantribune.com). 1/

For those interested, I have been working for quite some time on a bibliography for modern Sudanese history. The PDF is freely available (www.academia.edu/121191857/CBSH_v1_07_24_) and I have also created a Zotero group open to everyone. This is still a work in progress.
