"Almost 300 million people are at risk of dying of starvation, according to an analysis published as acute food insecurity continues to soar. It is the sixth consecutive year that the number of people facing 'high levels of acute food insecurity' has grown, reaching 295.3 million according to the latest Global Report on Food Crises. More than 95% of them lived in the Gaza Strip or Sudan."

#Trump has halted virtually all #refugee admissions for people fleeing #famine & #war from places like #Sudan & the Democratic Republic of #Congo. But he has created an expedited path into the country for #Afrikaners, a #white ethnic minority that created & led the brutal #apartheid regime in #SouthAfrica.

The refugee process often takes years. But only 3 months have passed from the time Trump signed an EO establishing refugee status for Afrikaners….

Campaign: Help Buy a Printing Press for Anarchists in Sudan

Since February 2022 Black Rose/Rosa Negra (BRRN) and other members of our international network of anarchist political organizations have been collaborating with the Sudan Anarchist Federation (SAF), which started organizing shortly before the revolutionary upheavals that began in 2018. Thanks to the many comrades who donated to our previous fundraiser, we were able to support some SAF comrades to escape dangerous situations and continue their work, both inside and outside the country. Tragically, at least one comrade, Sarah, was lost to the murderous and femicidal deprivations of the Rapid Support Forces (RSF). We honor her memory and all of the revolutionary martyrs who have died in the struggle for freedom in Sudan.

Now, despite the hardships, a number of members of the SAF have managed to regroup in a stable area of Sudan and are in a position to restart clandestine political work. We are asking for international support to support them in re-establishing their activities and developing enterprises that can financially support their members, many of whom are internally displaced in an area with a wrecked economy.

The plan from our comrades in Sudan is to establish a commercial printing press that will be run as a workers’ cooperative in order to provide a sustainable livelihood, and as a tool for printing political educational materials. In Sudan it is nearly impossible to import revolutionary texts, and internet activity is heavily censored and monitored, so it is important to help develop the local capacity to print texts for distribution.

Our comrades can only succeed in this project with international solidarity. The estimated costs for this project are $15,000. Any extra money raised will go to the general treasury of the comrades and be used for organizational expenses, such as helping displaced comrades travel home. With support from friends of freedom around the world, we can easily meet these needs and support the survival and growth of anarchism as a potent social revolutionary force in Sudan.

Please give now! If you cannot give, please share the fundraiser widely!
