This is a fantastic piece in @quillette by Chama Mechtaly about a conflict that is barely understood. For all the focus on Israel & Gaza, not least on Western streets, there is very little attention on Sudan. A short 🧵on this fascinating piece & the wider conflict. This story starts in Khartoum, the capital of Sudan, in 1967. In the wake of Israel’s stunning victory in the Six Day War, Arab countries came together to express their unity and issued the infamous “Three noes”. The path was set for Sudan to remain a safe space for Islamism.

A crowd of hundreds of men scream “ALLAHU AKHBAR” & demand the release of a literal Jihadist terrorist 🧵 These monsters are demanding the release, from an Italian prison, of Najmadin Faraj Ahmad, better known as Mullah Krekar.
He is a Kurdish jihadist who founded Ansar Al-Islam, a short-lived Islamic statelet that imposed strict sharia law on Kurdish villages in the early 2000s.

We all know that the Green Party's leader thinks it's good to arrest people for tweets and has claimed that he could enlarge a woman's breasts with the power of his mind - for a fee, of course.

But what about their newly elected Deputy Leader, Mr Mothin Ali? A short 🧵 Mr Ali was elected as a Green councillor early last year, and led his supporters in a rousing cry of 'allahu akhbar' at the count. He accused anyone who mentioned this novel (in Britain) reaction at an election count as islamophobic.

Ahead of his book coming out this week, @nadhimzahawi has been on media about his time in Government, his remarkable life story & the social & political challenges facing the UK. A 🧵on part of his interview with @TimesRadio about islamist extremism & what needs do be done 1/13 Q: In practical terms, what does a national effort to unite the country look like?
A: We need to speak to the people being impacted by both legal & illegal migration. This will be the challenge of the decade in Europe, it’s already brought down the Dutch Government. 2/13

Over 48 hours, the Business Secretary @KemiBadenoch has made not one, but 4 really impressive & brave interventions across education, health, business & liberties. They show the best combination of conservative & classical liberal thinking & are deeply encouraging!

A short 🧵 🏫 Praised the success of the fantastic Michaela Community School, headed by @Miss_Snuffy, against a nasty little legal challenge. Badenoch said “The Equality Act is a shield, not a sword and teachers must not be threatened into submission.” A brilliant line!
