In Solidarity with Sudan: A Bonfire Discussion.
10 December 2025, 15:30 GMT/16:30 CET/17:30 Cairo/10:30 EST via zoom
A conversation on solidarity, power, complicity, and how transnational organizing can make a difference co-organized by South/South Movement, Sawiyan, Salam Sudan, and Locally Led.
As Sudan continues to endure the devastating impacts of war, displacement, and political violence, we invite you to gather with us around the bonfire for an open-format, informal space of collective reflection and radical imagination.
Together, we will hold space to ask:
What does true solidarity with Sudan look like now and moving forward?
How do the lessons of Sudan sharpen our understanding of power, state violence, and the failures of global institutions?
And how might they also offer new maps for rethinking learning, solidarity, and liberation across borders?
From across geographies and communities, we feel the urgency of this moment. But what does it mean to show up in ways that are grounded, responsible, and rooted in justice?
In this conversation, we’ll think through:
Solidarity Beyond Slogans: What practices, relationships, and responsibilities are required to be in meaningful solidarity with the people of Sudan? How do we avoid extractive allyship and instead co-build with Sudanese organizers, scholars, artists, and everyday people?
Power, Empire, and the Entangled Roots of Violence: What colonial and imperial entanglements have shaped, and continue to shape, the crisis in Sudan? Why must an understanding of these global structures be central to any meaningful act of solidarity?
Learning From Sudanese Knowledge and Resistance: What can we learn from Sudanese communities, both locally and in the diaspora, about resilience, liberation, and organizing? How do we listen deeply, move humbly, and act accordingly?
This bonfire is part of a broader effort to create spaces for learning and unlearning, and for us to imagine other possibilities. It is organized together with South/South Movement, Sawiyan, Salam Sudan, and Locally Led.
