We should not blame anyone else when we ask why nobody is talking about Sudan, when we ourselves barely talk about it, when we barely know about Muslim communities beyond our own, when we don’t even care enough to take a few minutes out of our day to browse stories that affect different Muslim groups around the world.
So let us be part of the solution by ensuring we take a closer interest in the affairs of Muslims in our localities and far beyond. We should share our findings with family and friends, lobby MPs to raise issues in Parliament, and just stay interested in how Muslims are doing, wherever they are.

Secret Israeli deal with Google & Amazon
A joint investigation by +972 Magazine and Local Call has revealed that, in 2021, two of the world's largest tech firms agreed to a secret "winking" code that would notify the Zionist state when foreign law enforcement had accessed data stored on their cloud-computing platforms.
The potentially illegal clause has renewed condemnation of such firms while the Gaza genocide continues in spite of the Trump-led ceasefire.

Making Muslims happy 😊

Sudan atrocities: UK military equipment being used
Via the UAE, British military equipment has reportedly landed in the hands of the RSF — one side to the devastating conflict that has already led to the deaths of hundreds of thousands.
It is believed that a Welsh firm called Militec has provided "small-arms training and target systems" to the UAE since at least 2013, with these devices now being used by paramilitary forces.
260,000+ Sudanese civilians at grave risk
Hundreds of thousands of civilians are trapped in the city of al-Fashir, after the paramilitary group known as the Rapid Support Forces took control of the main army base.
The RSF, along with the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF), have been engaged in a devastating civil war that has internally displaced more than 14 million and killed 150,000 in the Muslim-majority country.
Truth-tellers are being hunted while war criminals roam free, but silencing one voice will only awaken millions more. We need to stand with Sami Hamdi, Gaza, and all those criminalised for speaking truth.
Turn intimidation into mobilisation. Turn silence into outcry. Until Palestine is free, our work continues — louder, smarter, and more united than ever.

Israel propped up by 63 countries in its Gaza genocide!
Francesca Albanese, the UN Special Rapporteur for the Occupied Palestinian Territories, has revealed that the Zionist genocide in Gaza has been enabled by dozens of nations.
"Framed by colonial narratives that dehumanise the Palestinians, this livestreamed atrocity has been facilitated through Third States’ direct support, material aid, diplomatic protection and, in some cases, active participation."

Illegal Israeli settlers destroying olive groves
Since the year's olive harvest began at the start of October, officials have recorded 158 assaults by Zionist settlers and/or forces, against Palestinian farmers.
795 trees have been destroyed, with the latest violent attack involving an elderly woman who was targeted while picking olives in Turmus Ayya.
A crime to say "I love Muhammad"!
Hindutva-driven authorities in India reacted with fury as Muslims marking the Mawlid displayed signboards with the above text.
After the event last month, BJP-ruled states went further by demolishing Muslim homes without court orders, filing legal cases against 2,500 individuals, and making dozens of arrests.
The "bloody obvious" when it comes to Palestine
Palestinians have been dehumanised for a long time, and this has caused people to believe they have different rights to others.

Saudi Arabia to finally make public its relationship with Israel?
Saudi Arabia has long been known to have under-the-table diplomatic contact with Israel, but to make this official would cause a huge uproar among Muslims.
However, the US leader Donald Trump has recently suggested that it may be reaching the point where Saudi Arabia openly "normalises" its relations with the Zionist state.
Survivors recall RSF massacres in al-Fashir
Some have likened RSF fighters to Zionist thugs in Gaza, with footage showing them smiling and gloating after killing civilians.
Survivors have also given their accounts: countless women have been raped, men shot dead, and the injured run over with vehicles to finish the job.
These are our Muslim brothers and sisters, we need to speak out about their horrific situation!
Beautifying your Sadaqah

How do you trust a charity?
Islam21c's Head of Islamic Thought is currently on the Türkiye-Syria border, working with our charity partner Mercy to Humanity, as they give out critical food packs, each supporting a family for an entire month.
Many of us are often wary of charities claiming to give out aid, this is why compliance is being taken with the utmost seriousness while the aid distribution takes place.
Please give what you can to support Syrian refugees!

Dr. Salman Butt is currently in Kirikhan, near the Türkiye-Syria border, helping to label, pack, and distribute vital food packs with our charity partner, Mercy to Humanity.

Britons who fought for IDF targeted for prosecution
The International Centre for Justice for Palestinians (ICJP) has launched an application to prosecute British citizens who have fought for Zionist forces.
They may have thought they would get away with it, but evidence has been gathered against more than 10 Britons, with more likely to follow.
Yesterday, the Trump administration's Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detained our brother Sami Hamdi, the prominent political commentator and Director of The International Interest.
Currently in ICE detention, he is facing deportation after being arrested at San Francisco International Airport. His only crime was exposing the Zionist genocide in Gaza while on a speaking tour in the US.
American politics has long been beholden to the Israel lobby, this latest ICE arrest and likely deportation is proof that the Zionist regime is feeling the heat as the majority of the world stands with the Palestinian cause and calls out Zionism for its terrorist roots, for its apartheid rule, and for the genocide in Gaza!

Portugal close to introducing niqab ban
Once again, a so-called civilised country is desperate to force Muslim women to undress — according to its own twisted definition of women's rights.
So much for liberalism and its failed offshoots, the irony is striking when a state dictates what a handful of women must not wear, thereby disregarding their supposed freedom of choice.
Israel returns dead Palestinians in horrific condition
It is not enough for the Zionist state to simply kill an estimated 186,000 Palestinians in its quest to ethnically cleanse Gaza.
Why? During this latest "ceasefire", the majority of bodies returned are unidentified and unrecognisable. They were sent back with hands and feet tied, blindfolds in place, and burn marks and other signs of torture. Some are missing limbs and teeth, almost all were shot in the head.
Do you condemn Israel?

Palestinians held by Israel face outrageous treatment
Doctors have found clear proof of Palestinian prisoners being blindfolded and shot between the eyes, while those who have been released alive also faced torture.
In late 2023, around 1,700 Gazans were rounded up, all were held without charge for over two years. They experienced regular beatings, contaminated cells, and extreme weight loss.
But Israel would still like us to believe that it has the "most moral army in the world", that it follows international law, that it has no desire to destroy the Palestinian people.
Gazan people's character may be superior to us all
Thousands of forcibly displaced Gazans are returning to their homes while fully aware that they may have little of their family, houses, or businesses remaining.
Such is the resolute nature of Gaza, they have already begun rebuilding and restarting their lives, with the knowledge that Allah (subḥānahu wa ta'āla) will compensate them for all their hardship.
