“Not Enough Outrage From Both Sudanese People and the International Community; We are Rejected by Both”
The lack of empathy towards perceived “Arabs” has made me very upset with a lot of fellow Sudanese. I would have thought that the love and pride of being a part of a nation filled with so much history, resilience, and beauty would be enough for us to love and support each other. However, that has not been the case. My family has also lost their homes, their lives, and everything precious to us. I fear I will have no country to go back to, no place that holds my roots.
Protest in NYC: January 14, 2024- A Reflection By Nuralhoda Elsaid
I anticipated heightened emotions entering the protest, but the depth of anger caught me off guard. It's been 274 days since the first shots were fired on April 15, 2023, and the Sudanese Diaspora has been endlessly posting on social media and magnifying the lives that were lost since. However, it never seems to be enough. I was disheartened by the absence of support from the non-Black Arab community, not raising awareness about what is going on in Sudan, and not showing up to protest to support the cause. These are the same Arabs who claim to love their Sudanese friends, the ones who see the Sudanese community continuously amplifying the numerous causes coming out of the Middle East, including the Palestinian cause. It's disheartening then to see the Arab community that I grew up with pick and choose the causes they decide to amplify, throwing the burden to the Sudanese Diaspora to carry alone, to tirelessly educate, and beg for someone to listen.
