Friendships deserve praise songs, and here’s a praise song — an ode — to friends that have crossed continents for each other, and would go further if needed.

Sudanese by way of D.C., Safia Elhillo is the author of Girls That Never Die, The January Children, and Home Is Not a Country, and is co-editor of the anthology Halal If You Hear Me. Winner of the Sillerman First Book Prize for African Poets, the Arab American Book Award, and the Brunel International African Poetry Prize, she is also the recipient of a Cave Canem Fellowship, a Wallace Stegner Fellowship from Stanford University, and a Ruth Lilly and Dorothy Sargent Rosenberg Fellowship from The Poetry Foundation. Her work has appeared in Poetry magazine, The Atlantic, and the Academy of American Poets’ Poem-a-Day series, among others.

We’re pleased to offer Safia Elhillo’s poem, and invite you to connect with Poetry Unbound throughout this season.

This team chose to champion the Sudanese people as they protest against corruption and military control in Sudan during the Million Man March.

Isra Mohammed's speech to her school in Newcastle, UK, went went around the world in December of 2015. She was a 15 year old student at Kenton School, Newcastle, and she'd been subjected to racist and Islamophobic taunts after the ISIS attacks on Paris, that killed 130 people and injured hundreds more. When her brother and sister were targeted, Isra decided she had to do something, and so arranged to address the whole school, to tell her fellow students about Islam, and to try to dispel myths and ignorance about the religion. One delivery of this speech (she gave a few) was recorded, uploaded to YouTube and went around the world as a viral sensation.

In 2011, Boronika Hothnyang was accused of fatally stabbing her best friend, William Awu, directly in the heart.

But when police arrived at the scene of the crime, Boronika's apartment in Dandenong south-east of Melbourne, she was fast asleep.

Six men who had earlier been drinking at her place each gave detectives a very different version of events.

In this episode, Sarah Dingle uncovers new evidence that raises serious questions about the strength of the case against Boronika.

On Friday August 30, 2019, former Sudanese president Omar Al Bashir admitted in court that he had received $25 million in cash from the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia, Mohammed Bin Salman(MBS). Mr. Al Bashir is facing corruption and possession of foreign currency charges that could send him in prison for decades. Omar Al Bashir was forced out of office in April 2019 following a massive uprising led by many young people, and a violent response by the Rapid Support Forces(RSF), a police/military unit loyal to Al Bashir. After Al Bashir was deposed, a coalition government was formed between the military and opposition leaders with hopes of peacefully alternating power in preparation for free and democratic elections. Al Bashir was ousted after violent protests led by young Sudanese people many of the leaders of the protests were young women, and they used social media platforms such as Twitter, Facebook, WhatsApp and Instagram to spread their message worldwide. Omar Al Bashir who spent nearly three decades as president, financed and supported the ethnic genocide of the populations of the Darfur region that saw over a million deaths and millions of refugees. The atrocities perpetrated by Janjaweed barbarians supported by Al Bashir caused the International Criminal Court to issue an arrest warrant against him for war crimes, genocide and crimes against humanity in March 2009. Upon his arrest, millions of dollars in local and foreign currencies were found stashed inside his palace, meanwhile millions of Sudanese youth lacked jobs, education, food, potable water and electricity. This episode analyzes the root cause of issues in Sudan from its inception to independence, and through the multiple coup d’etats that culminated in Omar Al Bashir’s ascension to power, and his eventual demise.

The Australian Human Rights Commission has highlighted the discrimination experienced by African-Australians in contemporary Australia - through media representations, and the adverse effects of such discrimination.

A critical challenge for any society is the search for social justice, a core dimension of which concerns the promotion of belonging, a sense of feeling a part of society.

An innovative research based journalism training initiative for Sudanese-Australians has been developed to seek to promote social inclusion and belonging through mobilising the communicative power of the media.
