For our first episode of 2021, we return to the 2018-19 Sudanese Revolution that overthrew Omar al-Bashir and his National Congress Party. Joined by Dinan Alasad and Aida Abbashar, the conversation highlights the course of the revolution, the importance of international attention and the mobilizing and uprising of Sudan’s youth. Our guests identify both the power of social media movements such as #BlueForSudan and #BlueForMattar as well as reminding us that, in areas like women’s rights, the story is far from complete.

For this show, I continue with the topic of the Sudan crisis. There are many countries going through similar societal disturbances. What are the causes of the conflict and what can be the solutions to cease the political unrest in the country. In the 2nd segment, I discuss the coming out of Lil Nas X and the issue of homosexuality in Hip-Hop. Last, I discuss Joss Stone being kicked out of Iran and the issues of dealing with differing social rules of other societies.

For this show, I speak about the Sudan crisis and how to support the country. In the future, I’ll keep in touch with how this affects the surrounding countries. The 2nd segment gets into Eric Holder’s driver gaining immunity and the mind of Holder. In the 3rd, it’s the loss of originality with rapper’s names.

After a Sudanese protester was killed, there was a wave of sympathy on social media – but scammers took advantage. In early June, 26-year-old activist Mohamed Mattar was shot and killed in Khartoum. He was one of 100 protesters who died in a government crackdown on a sit-in. Blue was his favourite colour, and at the time of his death, the avatar on his social media pages displayed a deep shade similar to the colour of the ocean. Some of Mohamed’s friends and family changed their avatars to the same colour that he used. Within days, a worldwide movement had started: #BlueForSudan. But along with the authentic outpouring of support came scammers who used the trend to harvest likes, shares and followers. So how did “sympathy scammers” exploit the crisis for their own benefit? We speak to the teenage boy who took them on. Presenters: Jonathan Griffin and Reha Kansara (Photo caption: Some of the fake accounts / Photo credit: Instagram)
