In this urgent and emotional episode of I AM NALA, host Aya Chebbi is joined by Hanin Ahmed, a Sudanese activist, feminist organizer, and frontline humanitarian. From organizing protests during the revolution to leading the Emergency Response Room during Sudan’s war, Hanin’s story is one of defiance, compassion, and clarity.
She speaks candidly about waking up to gunfire in her hometown, evacuating students from dorms under siege, and confronting the impossible choices of war: feed or evacuate, educate or protect. With raw honesty, Hanin shares the horrors faced by Sudanese women—rape as a weapon of war, fractured families, starvation—and how grassroots networks continue to resist with courage and care.
This episode is a testimony to the women saving lives amid global indifference—and a rallying cry for protection, funding, and real peace rooted in justice.
