Sulaiman Addonia - take a bow! Not for the feeble-hearted. Do you like your heart ripped out, your comfort zone shaken and are you ready to face a barrage of relevant questions asked unflinchingly? The last line of the book is so PERFECT! Huge respect!

you deserve it even though you are ripping my heart to shreds these days (I am about to finish your Silence is my mother tongue)

Congratulations Sulaiman Addonia ! 👏🥰🌟

Leaving London for Brussels has changed my writing.
In this cover interview with Liza Noteris, VERZIN magazine, I talk about taking risks and writing from as close to the edge as possible.

“Out on the edge you see all kinds of things you can't see from the center -” K Vonnegut.

Egypt has acted appallingly towards the people of Sudan.

Maintaining a hard border and a hard visa regime in the face of war is inexcusable.

Media saturated with anguished accounts of 000s of Sudanese stranded at border, insensitive treatment by border control officials.

'Our understanding of racism should not be reduced to a litany of gaffes & flubs..It is a system rooted in history, politics, economics & culture...Moreover, people have the right to misspeak, be corrected, offer a proper apology and move on.' From 2019. bit.ly/3LqmfNs

Sudan is a magnanimous country with a habit of letting in civilians fleeing conflict from neighbouring states.

Today, Sudan needs its neighbours to repay that debt.

I appeal to neighbouring states to let in Sudanese civilians escaping fighting without restrictions.

Read a touching new essay from SILENCE IS MY MOTHER TONGUE author Sulaiman Addonia in the New York Times: On how a language barrier can both limit and liberate.

خروج المشافي من الخدمة ،عدم توفير مسارات امنة لاطقم الاسعاف وعدم السماح لاهالي الشهداء بدفن احبائهم وإنقطاع المياه والكهرباء كل هذه الازمات والمأسي لم تحرك فيكم شعرة !!
فعلا كما قال الطيب صالح :
من أين جاء هؤلاء الناس ؟ بل مَن هؤلاء الناس ؟
#اوقفوا_الحرب_في_السودان

Read Sulaiman Addonia's excellent personal essay in New York Times Books about how language bounds us but also frees us — especially in the case of a mother who can't read or write and a son who is a thriving novelist. nytimes.com/2023/04/05/boo…
