"Keep Eyes On Sudan. Write to your media org. Your rep. Your mother. Your group chat!!! We need people to speak on what is happening in El Fasher. Today!" from Yasmin Abdel-Magied, 25/Apr/2024:
Revolutionary and co-founder of the PKK, the political and military movement for Kurdish liberation.
"the excitement of entering the movement as a young woman--and discovering quickly that she would have to challenge traditional gender roles as she rose among its ranks. And she succeeded: total gender equality is now one of the central tenets of the PKK."
She wrote 2 memoirs about her activist youth and when she was in prison.
She was sadly assassinated by the ethnoreligious fascists in Turkey in 2013.
She survived 40 years of political involvement in a nation that didn't want her to exist.
