Since April 2023, Sudan has been in a state of conflict driven by a power struggle between two rival military factions that has devastated the country. Over three million people were displaced just in the first 100 days, thousands killed, and many more wounded. But what do we actually know about the conflict in Sudan? Join host Naghmeh Sohrabi as she speaks with Anna Simone Reumert , a postdoctoral fellow at the Zolberg Institute on Migration and Mobility at the New School, who has conducted extensive ethnographic work with Sudanese migrant workers in Lebanon and Sudan. In their conversation, they cover a wide variety of topics from a basic understanding of the various local and global actors to what we miss when we insist on calling the conflict a civil war; the ways in which comparisons to the Lebanese civil war sheds light on the conflict in Sudan; and an assessment of available diplomatic solutions. Anna Simone Reumert , postdoctoral fellow at the Zolberg Institute on Migration and Mobility at the New School in New York City.

Almost as soon as there was an Arab Spring, there was talk of an Arab winter. In Egypt, mass demonstrations in January 2011 led to the end of Hosni Mobarak’s 30-year presidency. But only two years later, the military removed the elected president, Mohammad Morsi, and arrested him and other members of the Muslim Brotherhood. By 2014, General Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, who had led the coup, was elected president and remains so until today. The revolution, by most accounts, had failed. In this episode of Counter/Argument, Youssef El Chazli argues otherwise. Join host Naghmeh Sohrabi as she and El Chazli discuss misconceptions surrounding the success of the Egyptian revolution and the enduring role the revolution plays in shaping Egyptian society, as well as the Egyptian state today.

In October 2022, news broke out about a fire in Evin, Iran’s notorious prison, killing several prisoners and injuring many more. This fire became yet another flashpoint in Iran’s autumn of discontent and thrust Iran’s carceral system into the limelight. But what do we actually know about Evin and Iran’s system of crime and punishment?

Why is Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan so enthusiastic about planting trees? In this episode, we speak with Ekin Kurtiç, 2022-2024 Keyman Modern Turkish Studies Postdoctoral Fellow at Northwestern University and former Neubauer Junior Research Fellow at the Crown Center, who argues that the Turkish government’s interest in greening Turkey is an attempt to monopolize the environmental agenda and turn legitimate protest into criminal activity. Join guest host Daniel Neep as he and Kurtiç examine misconceptions about the Turkish government’s tree planting and other “greening” campaigns, and explore the complex history and politics of environmentalism in the country.
