SSSUK was proud to host a showing of the film 'Khartoum' at King's College London on Saturday 14 February. SSSUK would like to thank Almas Art Foundation and King's College London and its volunteers for their help supporting this event.

We write to express our concern and dismay about the Government's statement of 4 March 2026. The statement declared that visas will not be issued for students from Afghanistan, Cameroon, Myanmar and Sudan, on account of what it calls widespread abuse, namely students from these countries lodging asylum claims.

The January 2026 issue no. 73 of SSSUK's journal Sudan Studies is now available. Many thanks to Charlotte Martin the editor and all those who have contributed to and supported the publication of this issue. Members can log in to the website to access an electronic copy.
