West Sahara conflict

we have known since this intense new wave of ‘israeli’ aggression started that all social media platforms have been suppressing all forms of palestinian content. so do not become disheartened or demotivated by the lack of tags trending—

*because that does not mean we have stopped talking.*

as people who are not currently in palestine, and especially as non-palestinians, we do not have the right to become demotivated by anything in this situation. we do not have the right to complain that it seems like nothing is changing. we do not have the right to lose hope when palestinians have been passionately fighting the occupation since it began.

and, do not forget about the other struggles for liberation in the world right now. keep talking about palestine, keep talking about congo, keep talking about sudan, about the uyghurs, about the rohingya, about *humanity.*

Zhangye 张掖 is a prefecture-level city in Gansu province, China. It borders Inner Mongolia on the north and Qinghai on the south.

Zhangye lies on the frontier of China proper, historically protecting it from the nomads of the north and permitting its armies access to the Tarim Basin. During the Han dynasty, Han armies were often engaged against nomadic people (e.g. the Xiongnu) in this area. It was also an important outpost on the Silk Road. Before being over-run by the Mongols, it was dominated by the Western Xia dynasty, and before that it was a vassal state for the Uyghurs.

Palestine is going through a genocide/ethnic cleansing/colonization

Sudan is going through Genocide/Famine/War

In Congo the Children are being sold / the woman are getting sexually assaulted along with minors and impregnated/ Man are being slaved

Uyghurs, Kazakhs, Kyrgyz, and other Turkic Muslims are facing: possible genocide, forced abortion, forced sterilization, forced birth control, forced labor, torture in the north-western region of Xinjiang by china.

the Syrian Civil War is primarily rooted in a feud between Russia and the United States and their allies in the region over natural gas pipelines passing through Syria on their way to European markets, Vladimir Putin launched a full-scale military intervention in Syria to prevent the fall of their ally Bashar al-Assad and stop Syria from joining the Western sphere of influence = Syrian are dying everyday because of other people greed.
