La guerre au Soudan, deux ans après son déclenchement, est en grande partie passée sous les radars médiatiques, sauf peut-être cette semaine. Ces deux ans de guerre ont été l'occasion de réunir une conférence à Londres coorganisée par le Royaume-Uni, l'Union européenne, l'Allemagne, la France et l'Union africaine, organisation dont le Soudan est membre, même si son gouvernement, l'un des belligérants, n'était pas convié. Alors, au-delà des 800 millions d'euros d'aide promise, cette rencontre a été utile pour jeter un coup de projecteur sur ce qui est, selon l'ONU, « la pire crise humanitaire au monde ».En deux ans de combats entre les forces armées soudanaises du général Al-Bourhane, qui a repris Khartoum, et les paramilitaires des Forces de soutien rapide du général « Hemedti », qui vient d'annoncer un gouvernement rival, on compte plus de 150 000 morts, 13 millions de personnes déplacées et une situation de famine qui menace la moitié de la population. Et face à cela, on peut dire que le monde regarde ailleurs. Un seul exemple, sur toute l'année 2024, TF1, la plus grande chaîne d'Europe, n'a mentionné le Soudan que trois fois dans ses journaux télévisés, d'après l'INA.Témoigner et informer malgré l'exilCe ne sont pas seulement les médias d'information internationale qui documentent sur l'horreur de la guerre. Ce sont d'abord tous ces civils qui témoignent par des vidéos en filmant les exactions, comme on a pu encore le voir dimanche lors des massacres de Zamzam, près d'Al Fasher, opéré par les Forces de soutien rapide. Ce sont ensuite tous ces journalistes qui poursuivent leur travail en exil. Selon Reporters sans frontières, ils sont 431 à avoir fui vers les pays voisins, pour les trois quarts en Égypte, et on compte une dizaine de médias soudanais qui continue de couvrir ce conflit sans avoir de bureaux et en étant sous la menace constante d'une expulsion. Ils sont implantés au Caire, mais aussi en Ouganda, au Kenya ou au Rwanda. En Égypte, des conditions de travail problématiquesProblématiques parce que l'Égypte du maréchal Abdel Fattah Al-Sissi soutient de façon inconditionnelle le régime officiel du général Abdel Fattah Al-Bourhane. Il y a près d'un an, la chaîne Sudania 24 a dû par exemple interrompre ses émissions depuis le Caire quand un opposant à la guerre, issu d'une coalition civile, s'est exprimé. La chaîne a pu ensuite les reprendre, mais le programme politique « Derayat al-Hadath » a été définitivement arrêté en décembre. Depuis, l'équipe subit des intimidations qui prennent la forme d'expulsions du pays, mais aussi de menaces de mort ou de campagnes de diffamation quand elle n'est pas obligée lire des communiqués de soutien à l'armée soudanaise.À lire aussiSoudan: des centaines de réfugiés au Caire cherchent à rejoindre Khartoum en bus

The civil war in Sudan, which broke out two years ago, has been described by aid agencies as the "worst humanitarian crisis in the world." Today, at a conference in London, delegations from European countries, the African Union, the United Arab Emirates and Egypt pledged to increased aid to Sudan, as well as try to find a pathway to peace. Also in the programme: the US Department of Education says it's freezing around $2.5 billion of federal funding to Harvard University, accusing the institution of fighting White House demands to combat left-wing bias at universities; and a 16th century book about cheese reveals details of Britain's long love affair with the dairy product.(Photo: A woman sits by the roadside after paramilitary Rapid Support Forces attacks on the Zamzam and Abu Shouk refugee camps, near the city of El-Fasher in Darfur.

“Right now we're receiving hundreds of patients and victims from ZamZam camp. You can hear the sounds of children… they do not belong to any military.”Today marks two years since war first broke out in Sudan, and in the second of two podcasts on the state of the war, we turn our attention to Darfur.Over the last few days, attacks by the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces on the Zamzam camp, near the city of El Fasher in North Darfur, have intensified, and the RSF say they have taken control. Over 700,000 people already displaced by the fighting have been taking shelter there. The UN says more than 100 civilians have died in these attacks - including at least 20 children. The aid group Relief International, said its entire staff of 9 hospital employees - including the head doctor – were shot dead by paramilitaries after they broke into the main camp.In today's pod we hear from a member of the Masalit community of El Geneina which faced similar attacks earlier in the war.

La guerre au Soudan a fait « 13 millions de déplacés et réfugiés » en deux ans. Alors que le Soudan, troisième plus grand pays d'Afrique en superficie, est déchiré depuis avril 2023 par un sanglant conflit entre l'armée du général Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, dirigeant de facto du pays depuis un coup d'État en 2021, et les forces de son ex-adjoint, le général Mohamed Hamdane Daglo. Le Haut Commissariat aux réfugiés s'alarme des conséquences régionales de cette guerre civile, avec chaque jour plus de déplacés. Abdouraouf Gnon-Konde, directeur régional du HCR pour l'Afrique de l'Ouest et du Centre répond aux questions de Léa-Lisa Westerhoff. RFI :  Deux ans après le début du conflit au Soudan, la violence a encore franchi un cap ce week-end au Darfour avec l'attaque et la prise du camp de déplacés de Zamzam. 13 millions de personnes déplacées de force à l'intérieur du pays comme au-delà des frontières. En tant que directeur régional du Haut-Commissariat aux réfugiés pour l'Afrique de l'Ouest et du Centre, comment est-ce que vous qualifiez cette crise ? Abdouraouf Gnon-Konde : D'abord, c'est de dire que c'est une crise humanitaire aiguë. C'est la pire crise humanitaire au monde après Gaza. Mais malheureusement, on n'en parle pas assez. Et je pense que justement, à deux ans du rappel du début de cette crise, c'est important que vous puissiez nous donner cette opportunité de souligner les conséquences de cette crise et d'appeler les uns les autres à réellement trouver une solution politique à l'intérieur du Soudan.Vous rentrez du Tchad où vous vous êtes rendu la semaine dernière. Ce pays frontalier joue un rôle particulier dans la guerre civile. Quelles répercussions la guerre civile a-t-elle sur le Tchad ? Une des conséquences immédiates, c'est que les populations, elles vont chercher un lieu de refuge. Et le lieu de refuge le plus près, pour certaines d'entre elles, c'est le Tchad. Et on a pu voir des populations arriver, qui continuent d'arriver et certaines viennent même depuis Khartoum et qui ont traversé donc des conditions vraiment difficiles. Et depuis avril 2023, le Tchad a déjà reçu près de 800 000 nouveaux réfugiés soudanais. Et cette année, le Tchad a déjà reçu 50 000 nouveaux réfugiés soudanais depuis le début d'année. Et malheureusement, nous nous attendons avec ces attaques auxquelles vous faites allusion, à davantage d'arrivées. Donc vous voyez, pour un pays fragile comme le Tchad, avec une population de 17 millions d'habitants, sans oublier d'autres réfugiés présents sur le territoire, les réfugiés nigérians qui sont là dans la région du lac Tchad et les réfugiés centrafricains et des déplacés internes. C'est extrêmement lourd.Tous les regards sont tournés vers le Darfour. Est-ce que vous craignez que la chute de Khartoum conduise à une aggravation des violences contre les civils dans cette partie ouest du Soudan ? C'est une source de préoccupation dans cette partie ouest du Soudan. Une préoccupation parce que si les combats se rapprochent de la frontière du Tchad, la crainte immédiate, c'est de voir ce que nous appelons en anglais le « spillover », donc un débordement de la crise sur le territoire du Tchad.D'un point de vue régional, quelles conséquences cette crise, ces deux années de guerre civile du Soudan ont-elles sur les pays frontaliers, sur la région ? On a observé des mouvements de populations vers le Tchad. Nous en avons déjà parlé, mais aussi des mouvements de populations vers la Centrafrique. La Centrafrique a déjà accueilli à ce jour à peu près 40 000 Soudanais dans une partie frontalière assez difficile : Birao, Korsi. Mais il n'y a pas que la Centrafrique, il y a aussi l'Égypte, il y a l'Éthiopie, il y a le Sud-Soudan et nous connaissons tous la situation dans laquelle se trouve donc le Sud-Soudan. Et la conséquence, elle va bien au-delà de la région parce que, à la frontière entre le Tchad et le Soudan, nous voyons des populations arriver qui transitent par le Tchad et qui continuent jusqu'en Libye, voire la Tunisie, et qui ont vocation à continuer en Europe. Donc pour nous, ça montre que la conséquence va bien au-delà des pays voisins. Elle va bien au-delà de la région et malheureusement, on voit davantage donc de Soudanais qui essaient d'arriver aux portes européennes.Il y a aussi la question du financement des activités humanitaires. Quel impact la coupure des financements américains a-t-elle sur cette crise au Soudan ? Elle nous contraint à faire des choix extrêmement difficiles. Au Tchad, déjà depuis 2003, nous avions déjà des Soudanais qui étaient là et nous étions en train de travailler à trouver des solutions d'intégration de ces populations. Mais malheureusement, aujourd'hui, avec cette baisse de ressources, nous sommes obligés de nous concentrer sur la réponse d'urgence dans les zones les plus fragiles.Quelle est votre crainte ? Qu'est-ce que vous craignez que ça puisse susciter sur une crise comme celle du Soudan ? La crainte immédiate, c'est de ne pas être en capacité d'apporter la plénitude de réponse. Au niveau global, pour le HCR, les États-Unis contribuent à hauteur de 40% de nos financements, dans la région ils nous accompagnent pour 60%. Mais il n'y a pas que les États-Unis qui ont baissé (leurs contributions). Déjà, pour les besoins immédiats, dans la région Afrique de l'Ouest, Afrique centrale, on parle de 14 millions de déplacés de force. Aujourd'hui dans cette région, 61 % des enfants en âge d'aller à l'école, âgés de 6 à 17 ans sont hors des circuits d'éducation. Donc, comment continuer à prendre en charge ces questions de besoins qui vont bien au-delà de la simple question humanitaire si on n'a pas les ressources adéquates ?

It's estimated that half-a-million people have been living in Zamzam - Sudan's largest refugee camp for people trying to escape the chaos of the country's civil war. Now, tens of thousands are said to have fled the site after continued attacks from the Rapid Support Forces paramilitary. Ahead of a London-held conference that will discuss a potential ceasefire, we speak to a former UN envoy to Sudan.Also in the programme: US President Donald Trump, alongside the leader of El Salvador, defends the American deportation of Venezuelans accused of gang violence to Salvadoran prisons; and an all-female group of celebrities, including pop star Katy Perry, head to space.

The UN says more than 100 civilians, among them at least 20 children and a medical team, have been killed in a series of attacks in Sudan's western Darfur region. The attacks, on the city of el-Fasher and two nearby camps, Zamzam and Abu Shouk, have been blamed on the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF). They say they've taken control of Zamzam, but denied reports of atrocities.Also, what's it like working in the uninhabited continent of Antartica?And what everyone should know about menopause.Presenter: Audrey Brown Technical Producer: Pat Sissions Producers: Patricia Whitenorne and Bella Hassan Senior Journalist: Karnie Sharp Editors: Alice Muthengi and Andre Lombard

Vita ya sasa ya Sudan ikielekea kuingia mwaka wa tatu, Tume Huru ya Umoja wa Mataifa ya kusaka ukweli kuhusu Sudan imelaani vikali mauaji ya watu zaidi ya 100 yaliyotokea wikiendi hii katika kambi za wakimbizi wa ndani Darfur, ikionya kwamba hali inaweza kuwa mbaya zaidi. Anold Kayanda na taarifa zaidi.(Taarifa ya Anold Kayanda)Shukrani LeahTangu kuanza kwa vita kati ya Jeshi la Sudan (SAF) na kikosi cha waasi cha RSF mnamo tarehe 15 Aprili mwaka 2023, maelfu ya watu wamepoteza maisha, huku mamilioni wakikumbwa na njaa, ubakaji, na ufurushwaji. Kambi kama ya Zamzam, yenye wakazi zaidi ya laki saba – nusu yao wakiwa watoto – zinaripotiwa kuzingirwa, wakazi wake wakikosa chakula, dawa, na maji, imeeleza Tume Huru ya Umoja wa Mataifa ya kusaka ukweli kuhusu Sudan.Mwenyekiti wa tume hiyo, Mohamed Chande Othman, ananukuliwa akisema, “Dunia imeshuhudia miaka miwili ya mzozo usio na huruma ambao umewanasa mamilioni ya raia katika mazingira ya kutisha, wakiwekwa katika hali ya ukatili bila matumaini ya mwisho.”Kwa mujibu wa taarifa iliyotolewa leo na Mkurugenzi Mtendaji wa shirika la Umoja wa Mataifa la kuhudumia watoto UNICEF, Catherine Russell kuhusu tukio hili la hivi karibuni ni kwamba watoto takriban 23 na wahudumu 9 wa misaada wameripotiwa kuuawa katika mfululizo wa mashambulizi katika eneo la Darfur Kaskazini, katika kipindi cha siku tatu zilizopita.Jana Jumapili, Katibu Mkuu wa Umoja wa Mataifa, Antonio Guterres amesisitiza kuwa mashambulizi yanayolenga raia ni marufuku kabisa chini ya sheria ya kimataifa ya kibinadamu. Wafanyakazi wa misaada ya kibinadamu na wafanyakazi wa afya wanapaswa kuheshimiwa na kulindwa,anasema.Kesho Jumanne huko London Uingereza, mataifa takriban 20 yanatarajiwa kujadili hali ya kibinadamu nchini Sudan. Umoja wa Mataifa unatoa wito wa hatua za haraka kulinda raia, kusitisha uungwaji mkono kwa pande zinazopigana, na kuhakikisha haki na uwajibikaji kwa uhalifu wa kivita.

Cela fait deux ans, mardi 15 avril, que la guerre au Soudan a démarré. Elle est aujourd'hui la plus importante crise de personnes déplacées au monde, selon l'ONU, 13 millions de Soudanais ayant fui leur foyer. Quatre millions se sont réfugiés dans les pays voisins comme l'Égypte, le Tchad ou le Soudan du Sud. Certains ont réussi à pousser jusqu'au Kenya, loin des camps de réfugiés. À Nairobi, la capitale, ils essaient de se réinventer une vie. De notre correspondante à Nairobi,À Nairobi, la capitale du Kenya, dans le quartier de Kilimani, le Jayta est devenu le rendez-vous de la jeunesse soudanaise. Dans ce petit restaurant, pas de manières, on y mange comme à la maison. « Nos clients sont des Soudanais, des Somaliens et des Éthiopiens. Mais on n'aime pas les appeler des "réfugiés". Bien sûr, notre vie est finie au Soudan, avec cette guerre. Il faut tout recommencer, pour survivre. Pendant la révolution, on disait : "À chaque fois, nous referons la révolution, si le gouvernement n'est pas bon pour nous" », se souvient Ahmed Albadawi.Les généraux Abdel Fattah Al Burhan, à la tête de l'armée soudanaise, et Mohamed Hamdan Daglo dit « Hemedti », chef des Forces de soutien rapide (FSR), se mènent une guerre sans pitié depuis deux ans. Mabio Swale, 24 ans, a fui Khartoum dès les premiers bombardements : « J'ai laissé derrière moi, mon père, mes petits frères, même mère. Je ne sais pas comment ils vont, s'ils sont en sécurité. La vie au Soudan est très dure : il n'y a pas de travail, pas de sécurité. On entend les armes et les balles partout. J'aimerais bien refaire ma vie au Kenya. Là, je travaille comme serveur. Avant, je rêvais d'être footballer. Aujourd'hui, je veux juste continuer à travailler pour envoyer de l'argent à ma famille. »Ousmane aussi a quitté Khartoum en 2023. Il y suivait alors des études en génie civil. Diplômé ici à Nairobi, c'est vers le Soudan que ses projets se tournent. « Je ne peux pas imaginer mon futur sans le Soudan. Maintenant que l'armée a récupéré Khartoum, mes amis et des membres de ma famille, y retournent. Ils essaient de reconstruire. J'y retournerai, c'est sûr. Les deux généraux viennent du même gouvernement. Mais vous pouvez vivre avec l'armée. Avec les FSR, c'est impossible. Je le sais, je les ai vus, ils ont essayé de me tuer, ils m'ont jeté à terre. D'abord la paix. Après, on cherchera la démocratie », affirme-t-il. En 2024, les Nations unies recensaient plus de 11 500 réfugiés soudanais au Kenya. À lire aussiSoudan: les FSR revendiquent la prise du camp de Zamzam au Darfour, «tuant de nombreux civils»

Devastating attacks on a camp hosting hundreds of thousands of people who had fled Sudan's civil war have continued for a third day, residents say.

Al Fadi, Dr Jay, and Brother Mel are starting a new series called Exposing the Myth. In this episode they are talking about how Islam borrowed from the Persian religion of Zoroastrianism. 1.The name of the ZamZam well is zoroastrian in origin. The name Zam is a pagan god which refers to mother nature. 2. The Black stone in al Kaaba is connected to another demon called Afraditi(Venus/ Lucifer). 3. The Jamarat represent Satan. 4. The Sunna/ hadith was written in persian lands. 5. The times of prayer, the washing before prayer, the kibla, and the word Jin were borrowed from Zoroastrianism.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Zamzam of Spiritual Knowledge. Excerpts from the teachings of Shaykh Mohamed Faouzi al-Karkari (qs).

The Seerah of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH): Understanding His Noble Lineage and Early LifeIntroductionIn the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Studying the Seerah (biography) of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) is an essential part of understanding Islam. His life serves as a timeless example of virtue, patience, and unwavering faith. This blog highlights key aspects of the Prophet's lineage, early life, and significant events, with references from the Quran and authentic Hadith.1. The Noble Lineage of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) belonged to the prestigious Quraysh tribe, tracing his lineage back to Prophet Ibrahim (AS) through Ismail (AS). His noble ancestry is affirmed in the Quran:"Indeed, Allah chose Adam, Noah, the family of Abraham, and the family of 'Imrân above all people of their time." (Quran 3:33)His ancestors were known for their moral integrity, and no instance of illegitimacy tainted his lineage.2. His Blessed Birth and the Year of the ElephantProphet Muhammad (PBUH) was born in the year of the Elephant, marked by Allah's divine intervention when Abraha's army attempted to destroy the Kaaba."Have you not seen how your Lord dealt with the Army of the Elephant?" (Quran 105:1)While the exact date remains disputed, many scholars agree he was born on the 12th of Rabi' al-Awwal.3. Orphanhood and Allah's CareHis father, Abdullah, passed away before his birth, and his mother, Amina, died when he was six. Despite these losses, Allah provided care through his grandfather Abdul Muttalib and later his uncle Abu Talib."Did He not find you as an orphan and then sheltered you?" (Quran 93:6)4. The Story of the Wet NursesIn accordance with the Arab tradition of sending infants to the desert for better upbringing, Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was nursed by Haleemah Sa'diyah. This practice is supported by Quranic guidance on breastfeeding:"Mothers shall breastfeed their children for two whole years, for those who wish to complete the nursing period." (Quran 2:233)While reports about his miraculous birth exist, scholars classify some of these narrations as weak (da'eef).https://islamqa.info/en/answers/247681/is-it-proven-that-when-the-prophet-blessings-and-peace-of-allah-be-upon-him-was-born-he-rested-on-his-arms-raising-his-head-to-heaven5. The Incident of the Chest OpeningWhen Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was around four years old, Angel Jibril (Gabriel) appeared, opened his chest, and purified his heart.Anas b. Malik reported: "Gabriel came to the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) while he was playing with his playmates. He took hold of him, opened his breast, removed a blood-clot, and said: 'That was the part of Satan in you.' Then he washed it with Zamzam water and restored it." (Sahih Muslim 162c)6. Significance of Avoiding InnovationsNeither the Prophet (PBUH) nor his companions celebrated his birthday. Introducing acts of worship not practiced by him is considered innovation (Bid'ah)."This day I have perfected for you your religion and completed My favor upon you and have approved Islam as your religion." (Quran 5:3)ConclusionReflecting on the Seerah deepens our understanding of the Prophet's (PBUH) journey and enhances our appreciation for his exemplary character. May we strive to embody his teachings in our daily lives."Indeed, in the Messenger of Allah you have an excellent example for whoever has hope in Allah and the Last Day, and remembers Allah often." (Quran 33:21)May Allah guide us to follow the footsteps of His beloved Messenger. Ameen.ReferencesQuran 3:33, 5:3, 33:21, 93:6, 105:1Sahih Muslim 162cAuthentic Seerah sourcesIslamQA Fatwa InsightsWritten by Zayd Haji, Postgraduate Student at Zad Academy.

Sudan: Access to stricken Zamzam camp ‘is nearly impossible'UN emergency aid fund releases $110 million for neglected humanitarian crisesClimate change: La Niña fades, as global heat keeps rising

Nchini Kenya, shirika la Umoja wa Mataifa la Kuhudumia Watoto (UNICEF) na wadau wengine wanafanikisha mpango wa kuhamasisha wasichana kuingia katika masomo ya STEM yaani Sayansi, Teknolojia, Uhandisi na Hisabati. Baadhi ya wasichana wakimbizi katika kambi ya Dadaab nchini Kenya ni wanufaika wa mpango huu. Sharon Jebiichi na maelezo zaidi.Zamzam Hussein,aliyekuwa mwanafunzi wa shule ya sekondari ya Hagadera. Ni mkimbizi mwenye asili ya Somalia na sasa anaishi katika kambi ya wakimbizi ya Daadab nchini Kenya akiwa na ndoto ya kuwa daktari. Kupitia mpango huu ambao ni sehemu ya programu ya PROSPECTS ambao ni ushirikiano wa kimataifa unaojumuisha mashirika kadhaa ya Umoja wa Mataifa ukilenga kuboresha upatikanaji wa elimu, ulinzi wa jamii, na ajira yenye hadhi kwa jamii zinazowakaribisha wakimbizi na watu waliolazimika kuhama makazi yao Zamzam Hussein ameweza kukumbatia sayansi.“Nilikuwa mwanafunzi wa shule ya sekondari ya Hagadera na nikamaliza elimu yangu mwaka wa 2024. Nilijiunga na shule hiyo Agosti 2021. Nilichopenda zaidi nikiwa shuleni ni maktaba, maabara ya sayansi na maabara ya kompyuta. Napenda kuwashauri wasichana wadogo wanaosoma shuleni  na walio wakimbizi wafanye kazi kwa bidii bila kujali changamoto wanazokabiliana nazo. Watatimiza ndoto zao na waweze kufanikiwa katika siku za usoni. Nataka kuwa daktari kwa sababu nilipokuwa shule ya upili nilijifunza mambo mengi kuhusiana na matibabu. Ningependa kuwashukuru wafadhili wetu kwa sababu bila wao nisingekuwa hapa.”Mpango huu wa STEM umetoa msaada wa rasilimali kama vile kuajiri walimu zaidi wa sayansi, kutoa mafunzo kwa walimu, kutoa vifaa vya sayansi kwa ajili ya maabara ya shule na kuanzisha programu ya maabara ya mtandaoni (virtual lab) ambapo wanafunzi wanaweza kufanya majaribio ya sayansi  kwenye mtandao wa intaneti. Kupitia video iliyorekodiwa na UNICEF, Patrick Njogu, Mwalimu Mkuu wa shule  ya Sekondari ya Hagadera anasema,“Nimemfundisha Zamzam na wasichana wengine ili waweze kutimiza ndoto na malengo yao. Wasichana wamekuwa wakikabiliana na changamoto kama vile ndoa za mapema. UNICEF imekuwa ya manufaa zaidi kwao. Kwa sasa walimu wawili zaidi wa sayansi  wameajiriwa. Mbali na hayo imekuwa ikiendesha mafunzo ya walimu, imetoa vifaa vya sayansi kwa ajili ya maabara ya shule na kuanzisha  programu ya maabara ya mtandaoni (virtual lab). Programu hii ya mtandao (virtual lab) imetengeneza  uhusiano nzuri wa wanafunzi katika masomo ya sayansi.”

Sudan đang phải đối mặt với tình trạng bạo lực mới ở khu vực phía tây Darfur, khi Lực lượng hỗ trợ nhanh bán quân sự, siết chặt quyền kiểm soát khu vực đang bị nạn đói hoành hành. Trại tị nạn Zamzam đã bị các chiến binh đột kích, ước tính có hàng chục người di dời đã chết hoặc bị thương.

Sudan is facing new violence in its western region of Darfur as the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces tightens their grip on the famine-stricken area. The Zamzam refugee camp has been raided by militants with dozens of displaced people estimated dead or wounded.

Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh.Welcome to Day 30 of the BeQuranic New Year 2025 Challenge!SubhanAllah, we've reached the final ayah of Surah Al-Mulk. If you've been with us from the start, that means you've now studied every ayah of this incredible surah—its meaning, its tajweed rules, and its deeper wisdom. And if you've been memorising along the way, then today, you're completing the memorisation of an entire surah that Rasulullah ﷺ recited every single night. That's huge!Now, if you're just joining us, don't worry. You can take your time and go at your own pace. The goal here isn't speed—it's consistency. Microprogression. The most beloved actions to Allah are those that are done consistently, even if they are small. So even if you're moving slowly, keep going. Make sure today is better than yesterday, and tomorrow, inshaAllah, will be better than today.Let's dive into the final ayah of this surah:قُلْ أَرَءَيْتُمْ إِنْ أَصْبَحَ مَآؤُكُمْ غَوْرًۭا فَمَن يَأْتِيكُم بِمَآءٍۢ مَّعِينٍۢThis ayah is a powerful rhetorical question from Allah. He's asking the Quraysh—and by extension, all of us—“What if your water were to sink deep into the earth? Who could bring you fresh, flowing water?”Think about that for a second. Water. Something so basic, so fundamental to life. We turn on the tap, and it's there. We don't even think about it. But Allah is reminding us—this water we take for granted? It's a gift. And if He willed, it could disappear.For the Quraysh, this hit hard. They lived in a desert. They had no rivers, no easy access to water. Their survival depended on wells—especially Zamzam. So this question was very real for them: What if Allah took your water away? What would you do?BeQuranic is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.And it's still just as relevant today. With climate change, droughts, and water crises around the world, we're seeing just how fragile this blessing really is. Who controls the rain? Who keeps our rivers flowing? Who ensures that water reaches our homes? Only Allah.This final ayah wraps up Surah Al-Mulk beautifully by bringing us back to a central message: everything we rely on comes from Allah. The food we eat, the air we breathe, the earth we walk on, the stars above us, the water we drink—it's all from Him. And just as He gives, He can take it away.So, what's the takeaway from this ayah?1. Gratitude. We need to be deeply grateful for the blessings we take for granted, especially the basics like water. Every time we drink, we should say Alhamdulillah.2. Tawakkul. Just like yesterday's ayah reminded us to put our trust in Allah, this one reinforces it. He provides. If we ever feel uncertain, if we ever worry about provision—remember this ayah.3. Reflection. Every night, as we recite Surah Al-Mulk, let's take a moment to think: How much do I depend on Allah? How much gratitude do I show for His blessings?Alhamdulillah, we've now completed all 30 ayahs of Surah Al-Mulk! If you've memorised the entire surah—congratulations!

L'ONU a condamné le bombardement du camp de déplacés de Zamzam, dans l'ouest du Soudan, réclamant la protection des "civils innocents", qui ont trouvé refuge au sud d'El Fasher, grande ville du Darfour assiégée par les paramilitaires. Le camp abrite plus de 500 000 déplacés, selon l'ONU, qui décrit un camp tout près du "point de rupture". Alors que la famine a été déclarée dans le camp l'été dernier, des camions du Programme alimentaire mondial y sont enfin parvenus fin novembre.

Hungursneyð ríkir í Zamzam-flóttamannabúðunum í Norður-Darfurhéraði í Súdan, þar sem áætlað er að um 600.000 manns hafist við. Þetta kemur fram í tilkynningu Sameinuðu þjóðanna og greiningarstofnunarinnar IPC, en IPC er samvinnuvettvangur Sameinuðu þjóðanna og nokkurra alþjóðlegra hjálparsamtaka, sérhæfir sig í greiningu á fæðuöryggi í heiminum og skorti á því, samkvæmt samnefndum, alþjóðlega viðurkenndum kvarða. Hungursneyðin í Zamzam er sú þriðja sem lýst hefur verið yfir í Afríku frá því að byrjað var að greina slíkar hörmungar eftir IPC-kvarðanum fyrir 20 árum. Hinar tvær fyrri voru líka á Horni Afríku, sú fyrri í Sómalíu 2011 og sú næsta í Suður-Súdan 2017. Í tilkynningu IPC segir að ótvíræðar sannanir séu fyrir því að í Zamzam-búðunum sé fólk að deyja hungurdauða á degi hverjum og að þetta ástand hafi varað allt að tvo mánuði. Ævar Örn Jósepsson fjallar um málið. Sveitarstjórnarmenn á Norður- og Austurlandi kalla eftir meiri stöðugleika í strandveiðum á næsta ári í stað þeirrar óvissu og sífelldu breytinga sem einkenni þetta kerfi í dag. Fjölmargir eigendur smábáta treysti á strandveiðar og þær skipti miklu máli fyrir mörg byggðarlög við sjávarsíðuna. Ágúst Ólafsson ræðir við Hjálmar Boga Hafliðason, sveitarstjóra Norðurþings.

At the London 2012 Olympics, the Somali sprinter Zamzam Farah became a crowd favourite after finishing last in her 400m heat by 27 seconds. Zamzam had grown up in war-torn Mogadishu, where she had to dodge violence while training on the so-called ‘Road of Death'. She competed with her body fully covered, but, after the Olympics, her family in Somalia received death threats because of what Al-Shabab considered unacceptable behaviour for a Muslim woman. She remained in the UK and gained asylum. Zamzam Farah spoke to Ian Williams in 2021.(Photo: Zamzam Farah about to start the 400m at the London 2012 Olympics. Credit: Olivier Morin/AFP/GettyImages)

Welcome to this bonus episode with Kundan Baidwan and Sameer Gupta. Kundan and Sameer talk all about the Rootstock Arts' event Color Your Mind Festival, which is happening in Yerba Buena Garden this Saturday, July 27, 2024 from noon to 5 p.m.   (This episode was created in collaboration with Erin and Ange from Bitch Talk Podcast.)   We start with Kundan. Long-time listeners will recognize or remember Kundan from ... Season 1, Episode 40, Two Storied Nights, and Hungry Ghosts. She's been a friend of the show since that fateful day in 2018 when I waltzed into Zam Zam with Bitch Talk on their Bourdain Crawl. But, podcast-wise, it's never been about Kundan.   We learn that she was born in San Jose and raised in Fremont. She went to college in San Diego, and after she graduated, was off to Paris and then New York. She returned to The Bay around 2004. She says that SF was always close to her Bay Area roots. She's an artist (an amazing artist, I must say) who pays the bills by bartending at Zam Zam.   Sameer Gupta was also born in San Jose. When he was around one year old, his family began moving roughly every couple of years. His dad was in tech and took jobs all over the world. While his family was in Japan, Sameer picked up playing music. He says he "caught the bug" there and started playing drums.   When his family came back to the US, he stuck with drumming. It wasn't what his parents expected of him, but they encouraged him nonetheless. He went to college for music, where he was immersed in Western and Classical styles. He was gravitating more toward jazz, though. He played jazz through his time in and after college, and then he found Indian Classical music.   Sameer moved to New York City and stayed for about 15 years, long enough to form a music collective. A little more than a year ago, he returned to the Bay Area.   Then we hear how Kundan and Sameer met. It's a story that goes back to their respective childhoods. Their dads worked together before either of them was born. Their families lived in the same neighborhood and knew each other well. The two ended up in high school together. Beyond their families' histories, Sameer and Kundan both ran in creative circles around this time, and naturally gravitated toward each other.   Both Kundan and Sameer are the only creative people in their families, and we get to hear how that informs the art that each of them creates. They recognize the abundance of creativity in their culture, but distinguish themselves as individuals who set out to make art their life's mission. And Sameer speaks to the example that folks like him and Kundan can set for the next generations, who see more possibilities than they might otherwise.   Having grown up the entire time in the Bay Area, Kundan says she more or less always felt the influence of Indian culture. And Sameer talks more about what it can mean for their families to see them making a life out of art.   Then the conversation shifts to this weekend's inaugural Color Your Mind Festival. Sameer and Kundan intentionally invited young artists to be part of the event. There will be art, music, crafts, books, and more. Sameer says their intention is for the festival to be "adventurous," not what people might think of as a traditional Indian event. They want it to be approachable for as many folks as possible.   The festival's music will include North Indian Classical (think Ravi Shankar), South Indian Classical, and Sameer's group, the Jupiter Project. There will also be dancing between music sets.   Follow Rootstock Arts on Instagram.   We recorded this episode in collaboration with Bitch Talk Podcast at Medicine for Nightmares in the Mission in June 2024.

It is now more than a year since civil war erupted in Sudan following a power struggle between the Sudanese Armed Forces and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces. 14 months on, the figures show that over 6 million people have been displaced within the country, with at least one and half million people fleeing across Sudan's borders. The UN High Commissioner for Refugees Filippo Grandi has just got back from the country and explains what he has seen.Also on the programme, we reflect on the life of actor Donald Sutherland who has died at the age of 88; and we hear from Kenya where young people have taken to the streets to try to force the government to back down on its plan for tax rises.
