Sudanese and Ukrainians deserve our sympathy and empathy and outrage at what they are enduring.


"We put just a little bit in to make people realize the level of violence this military is capable of," said Meddeb in a recent interview. "We still don't know how many people were killed that day, especially because there were homeless people and people coming from other regions without papers."

"It's not just poetry for beauty. Here in Europe or America, we can say poetry is for the love of the world," said Meddeb. "No, [in Sudan] it's a question of life or death. It's poetry to survive and also to keep memories alive and the people who died alive."
