Since people don’t know the rich and unique history of Nubia, I’m going to share some fun facts about some key characters and events that shaped Nubian History
A thread 🧵 My opening will have to be Queen Amanirenas (also known as the one eyed warrior)
She was a ruler of the Kingdom of Kush, during the 1st century BCE. Amanirenas is celebrated in history for her fierce resistance against Roman expansion into Nubian territories, notably leading her armies in battles against Roman forces.
Her significance to Nubia lies in her courageous leadership and determination to protect their sovereignty and independence from foreign invaders.
Her legacy embodies resilience and national pride, making her an enduring symbol of Nubian resistance and strength. THIS is real girl power!

Israel is involved in oppression all over the world.
A thread of all the things Israel has a hand in 🧵
(This is gonna be a long one, buckle up!) 1️⃣ The Rwandan Genocide - 1994
Israel supplied significant weaponry to the Hutu militias responsible for the slaughter of over 1 million Tutsi civilians in Rwanda over the course of 100 days.
The arsenal provided by Israel included 5.56mm bullets, rifles, and grenades. The Rwandan Genocide stands as one of the most horrific genocides in modern history.
Israel has made repeated efforts to hide its arms shipments to Rwanda both before and during the genocide, out of fear of legal repercussions.
