SUDAN INSIGHT ALERT: Guardian - My cousin has been killed in Sudan's protests. His death must not be in vain

10/4/19: Guardian – My cousin has been killed in Sudan’s protests. His death must not be in vain, by Yassmin Abdel-Magied

Reflecting on the death of her cousin Ma’ab Hanif, who was shot during the protests, Yassmin Abdel-Magied, an Australia-based social advocate, questions what role the Sudanese diaspora can play in the fight against the Sudanese regime.

 Despite yearning to participate in the protests, she questions whether it is “necessarily [her] place,” arguing “it’s perhaps easier to get caught up in the romantic notion of revolution.”

Thus, Abdel-Magied has “like many others in the Sudanese diaspora,” settled for playing a part by amplifying the voices of those on the ground, concluding that while it does not feel enough, all that matters is that Al Bashir steps down.
