I've been seeing this pic on my #Sudan_Uprising TLs today and it's amazing. Let me tell you why.pic.twitter.com/Gt6Otvj0Al
She's wearing a white tobe (outer garment) and gold moon earrings. The white tobe is worn by working women in offices and can be linked w/cotton (a major export of Sudan), so it represents women working as professionals in cities or in the agricultural sector in rural areas.
Her earrings are the gold moons of traditional bridal jewelry (Sudanese, like many Arabic speakers, often use moon-based metaphors to describe feminine beauty)
Her entire outfit is also a callback to the clothing worn by our mothers & grandmothers in the 60s, 70s, & 80s who dressed like this during while they marched the streets demonstrating against previous military dictatorships.
Sudanese everywhere are referring to female protestors as "Kandaka," which is the title given to the Nubian queens of ancient Sudan whose gift to their descendents is a legacy of empowered women who fight hard for their country and their rights. 
This iconic photo was taken by @lana_hago - anyone reproducing the image, please give her credit.
Per @Joyce_Karam, according to Arabic media, the protester's name is Alaa Salah.
Listen to @lana_hago, the photographer of the iconic Candaka in the White tobe picture, in her own words. "Just pray for Sudan."https://twitter.com/lana_hago/status/1115964210662350848 …
I’m tired of folks reading: “working class” as white “rural” as white “suburban” as white “Appalachian” as white “rust belt” as white “undecided” as white This flattening and reductionist thinking is lazy and racist. Do better or lose always in every way.
I don't understand your tweet. This is a picture from Africa and no whites are mentioned. What?
Thank you for the explanation. This is helpful and POWERFUL! What is her name?
I would say what she is portraying is to big to have a name.
