Unified Struggles: Love, Revolution, and Resistance in Sudan and Palestine
In this episode of PsychLib podcast, part of the Resistance is Fertile Podcast Universe, we are joined by activists Ghaida and Hamza. We delve into their extensive involvement in Sudanese and Palestinian solidarity movements, including setting up fundraisers for Gaza and Sudan and initiating the movement for BDS against the UAE, whose support has eased the RSF militias genociding their way through revolutionary Sudan.
As they share their journey as partners and revolutionaries, we explore how their shared values and experiences forged a deep connection.
Our conversation spans the ongoing crises in Sudan, the liberation struggles in Palestine, and the broader implications of imperialism and capitalism.
Hamza and Ghaida offer insights into the psychological warfare waged by empire, the significance of grassroots activism, and the essential role of mutual aid networks.
Tune in for an inspiring discussion on the power of love and unified resistance against injustice.
