Sudanese-Australian survivors of the Darfur genocide are raising the alarm about a new alleged genocide of their people. This comes as the United States has accused the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces of committing acts of genocide during the almost two-year civil war in Sudan. The war has led to the largest internal displacement crisis in the world, with mass atrocities reported in the Darfur region.

A deadly rampage through central Sudan by paramilitary forces has left at least 124 people dead and scores of locals wounded and displaced. SBS News spoke to a Sudanese-Australian woman in Sydney whose family members have been killed, wounded and displaced in the attacks with her 27-year-old brother Ibrahim still missing. Some listeners may find this content distressing.

After almost a year and a half of fierce conflict in Sudan, the Sudanese-Australian community still fears for the lives of their loved ones as the humanitarian disaster worsens. Community leaders have also expressed a frustration at the lack of media coverage of the issue, arguing that it has slipped under the radar with wars in Ukraine and Gaza taking priority. With tens of thousands estimated killed and over 10 million people displaced by the violence, the war has left deep scars on civilians in Sudan and their concerned families in Australia.

Today I have brought in for you a book that I have been reading over the long weekend. Yassmin Abdel-Magied's latest book it's a collection of essays called Talking About a Revolution. Now before I tell you about the book I want to introduce Yassmin Abdel Magied…In her own words Yassmin is a Sudanese Australian writer, recovering mechanical engineer and award-winning social advocate. Yassmin was born in Khartoum, Sudan and her parents moved the family to Australia when Yassmin was a baby. Yassmin is a mechanical engineer who left her dream of working with formula one and worked on oil and gas rigs.Yassmin turned the story of her early life into the successful book Yassmin's Story, and in some ways Talking About a Revolution is a successor of that book. Yassmin has also penned a middle grade series beginning with You Must Be Layla, which is being optioned for the screen.Yassmin is a talented writer whose career and life experience have been broad. Which is all important to begin with because she has also been, in her words, the most hated Muslim in Australia.Yassmin Abdel Magied is based in London these days after a social media post five years ago went viral for all the wrong reasons, leading to her receiving death threats and having to move house. Never mind the fact that she was raising an important social justice issue.Talking About a Revolution collects essays written around that time as well as across the intervening years, as well as original essays for the collections. I won't try to take in the length and breadth of the collection because it's just not possible in our limited time together.I will highlight the opening sortie from the book ‘Words Means Things' where Yassmin takes on Ludwig Wittgenstein's Philosophy of Language to ask the question; if words gain meaning through usage then who gets to make the rules about the ways we use language. What follows is an exploration of the ways cultural usage can be approved or derided, rejected or appropriated.The essay explores how media is able to sway, not just our take on the news but how we perceive events as right or wrong, worthy or distractions. We are asked about who controls the ideas that are broadcast out into the world and in turn who gets to decide what words mean what and in whose mouths we will accept the truth.It's a great discussion because in exploring ‘words' it not only acknowledges the sometimes tenuous link between signifier and signified, it also reminds us that meaning is created through action as well as sounds. Silently taking the knee speaks volumes, as does silently walking past racism whether it be on the street or in the administration.I'm still working my way through this collection and its array of ideas. I'm hoping to have Yassmin join me again on Final Draft so keep an ear out for that.Book Club is produced and presented by Andrew PopleWant more great conversations with Australian authors?Discover this and many more conversations on Final Draft every week from 2ser.Get in touch with Andrew and Final Draft.

They say the personal is political – that our own intimate experiences can't help but inform larger social structures. The same is true in the stunning photographic work of visual artist Atong Atem, whose hyper-saturated images are at once joyous, traditional, surreal and deeply connected to her familial roots in South Sudan.  Atong Atem talks art, politics and family with Good Weekend editor Katrina Strickland on the latest episode of Good Weekend Talks. Atem is the inaugural recipient of the $80,000 La Prairie Art Award. It involves the acquisition by the Art Gallery of NSW of a large four-panel photographic self-portrait by Atem, and a residency at Art Basel in Switzerland, where the La Prairie skincare company is based, and where Atem will head later this month.

I am Layla Kareem Abdel-Hafiz Hussein, the greatest Sudanese Australian inventor the world has ever seen. And if they don't know my name yet, they soon will. Inshallah!School's out for the summer! And Layla's going to spend it getting her inventions ready for the Grand Design Competition.

This week we're joined by Sudanese-Australian writer, broadcaster and award-winning social advocate Yassmin Abdel Magied. Nie and Natty listen in as Yassmin reads through an op-ed she wrote for Brisbane Times in 2012 titled How racist are we? . Looking back, Yassmin reflects what it's like to grapple with the expectation of expertise on racism as a person of colour, and how her own plans and career aspirations changed in the face of these expectations. Yassmin also talks to Natty and Nie about the ways that islamophobia and anti-blackness have intersected in her lived experience, and the shock of moving to London, experiencing majority black events and communities, and learning first hand about the plantain wars. It's a beautiful, moving and often hilarious conversation that shows the beauty of growing up and allowing yourself the room to move and grow at any age.

Yassmin Abdel-Magied’s Listen Layla absolutely grabbed me with it’s combination of deep questioning and heart on its sleeve social conscience.Yassmin Abdel-Magied is a Sudanese-Australian writer, broadcaster and social advocate. She trained as a mechanical engineer and worked on oil and gas rigs around Australia for years before becoming a writer and broadcaster. She has published a memoir, Yassmin's Story, as well as a book for younger readers, You Must Be Layla.Layla Hussein is a precocious inventor. At just fourteen Layla has helped steer her school team to the international Grand Designs Tourismo being held in Germany.With the holidays ahead and invention of her mind, LAyla is blindsided when her Grandmother falls ill and her whole family must quickly pack and travel to Sudan to be with their family.Layla can’t support the team from halfway around the world, but can she really just give up her dreams to nurse her sick Grandma?I think it’s a truism that adolescence is a time of questioning. I’m pretty sure I’m still working through some of the big questions that first occurred to me as a teenager. And that’s what makes LIsten Layla so engaging.In Layla, Yassmin Abdel Magied, opens up the door to questions of personal and social identity, belonging and responsibility. These are questions that we don’t always do well discussing as a nation, with our beer soaked jingoism more often than not getting in the way of true openness and debate.Through Layla we are exposed to the destabilising notion that identity is not some label you wear but an ongoing discourse between aspects of yourself.At home in Brisbane Layla has her friends and her inventing which is opening up her world. Yet she also must deal with her difference; as she catches the bus, or just attends a school meeting she is reminded that others see her differently to the Australia they want to believe in.Arriving in Sudan Layla finds she is not quite Sudanese enough for people either; her Arabic is accented and her passionate attitude is destined to see her get into trouble as she discovers Khartoum is not Brisbane.Listen, Layla is set against the Sudanese uprising of 2018/19 that saw pro-democracy protesters overthrow the repressive military government through non-violent civil disobedience. Abdel-Magied uses this historical backdrop to great effect highlighting the intergenerational attitudes and underscoring the power of youth.Within this space Layla is forced to confront her reality and consider the wider world she lives in. It’s powerful to consider the challenges to identity and questions of responsibility that Abdel-Magied sets out.With almost half of Australian’s either born overseas or with a parent who was born overseas our national identity cannot simply be summed up by lamingtons and vegemite sandwiches. As Layla confronts her commitment to the Sudanese revolution she in turn questions what is her responsibility to first nations people when she returns to Brisbane.These aren’t questions that are limited to adolescence and Listen Layla is a timely reminder that in the face of injustice there is always work to be done.Listen, Layla is technically YA but as I always end up saying; this is a book for everyone, full of ideas and questions that we can all benefit from considering.

Australian listeners will all be familiar with Yassmin Abdel-Magied. A writer, TV presenter, podcast host, speaker and former race-car chassis designer (I mean, WOW), Yassmin also became a lightening rod for Australian racism, Islamophobia and misogyny when she posted a simple anti-war statement on her Facebook page in 2017. The reaction was swift and astonishing. She was excoriated across every strata of society, from the media to the public and even within the Federal government. What had this proudly Muslim, proudly feminist, proudly Sudanese-Australian woman said that was so outrageous?"Lest we forget: (Manus, Naura, Syria, Palestine)"Yassmin was eventually forced to leave the country to protect not just her life but also her mental health. She has since become an international juggernaut, authoring two YA books that have been optioned for screen, hosting an immersive theatre event at Kensington Palace, presenting podcasts and television shows and commanding stages all over the world.Yassmin joined me for a very special episode of the hotline to discuss what it means to have life as you know it destroyed and to have to rebuild something more powerful from the rubble.

Are women treated unfairly on social media, and is the situation worse for women of colour? Krupa Padhy meets two social activists who unexpectedly found themselves at the centre of a digital storm, and asks what happened next. Munroe Bergdorf is a British model, DJ and social activist who came to public attention in 2017 when she was employed as the first transgender model in a L'Oreal cosmetics campaign. She was dropped by the company after a social media post in which she said all white people were guilty of racial violence, prompting a swift backlash. She says her words were taken out of context but she stands by them. Munroe received rape and death threats for weeks, but she fought back, has secured a new beauty contract and is now a public speaker on race issues. Yassmin Abdel-Magied is a Sudanese-Australian engineer, writer and activist who was named Queensland Young Australian of the Year 2015. However just two years later she found herself facing a barrage of criticism after posting a seven word status online that was seen by many as disrespectful to fallen soldiers on Anzac Day. Although she apologised immediately, she says that didn't stop her becoming the most publicly hated Muslim in Australia, and the months of abuse only calmed down when she left the country for good.

As far back as 2009, the Australian Human Rights Commission reported that the media’s coverage of African-Australians was often negative, critical, and frequently misleading. The situation since then has not markedly improved, especially when the mainstream commercial media are involved.This week we hear about the AuSud media project which worked with members of the Sudanese community in Melbourne to find practical ways to counter these negative portrayals. Media and communications scholar David Nolan from the University of Melbourne talks about the background and development of the project, and Sudanese-Australian musician and storyteller Ajak Kwai explains how negative media reporting affects community self-confidence and self-worth.
