Shout out as always to the brilliant team (from storyliners to script editors to all on the crew!) who bring this show to life. TV truly is a team effort... and I feel very grateful Alhamdulilah to be playing on this one :D

It's 9+ for advanced readers and 11+ generally! There are some deeper themes on social issues which is why it's slightly older but the actual reading age is 9+

I’ve been hitting these (school) STREETS, taking Silverbrook on tour. From Karachi to Kilburn, Chalk Farm to Chelmsford, I’m determined for all these young peeps to meet Yumna and the crew and get inspired inshallah - to stand up for themselves by believing in the power within.

On a different note, A LOT of countries are going to start spending a lot more money on defence. Building weapons. How do we feel about that? I don’t know.

But also I wish KS in the UK had such vision. He is so stuck in the so called rules based order of the last century. CMON MAN!

Values based realism. Principled and pragmatic. This is what Canada’s PM talked about as the future of geopolitical alliances. We are in such a moment - a reshaping of the world as we know it.

Sudan’s story is far from a tragedy The country’s revolution was a successful and nonviolent democratic uprising. The west should remember that

Anyone who believes in civilian self-determination should pay attention to Sudan, writes Yassmin Abdel-Magied Not only because of the scale of the horror, but because the inaction of the international community tells despots around the globe that it is acceptable.

Sudan’s story is far from a tragedy The country’s revolution was a successful and nonviolent democratic uprising. The west should remember that

Sudan’s war is not β€œnihilistic” chaos, nor is it a β€œcivil conflict”, writes Yassmin Abdel-Magied This is a war against civilians, punishment for the people’s audacity in standing up to the military regimeβ€”and the international community is enabling it.
