In this follow-up episode with the Sudanese Community in Edinburgh, Zaki El-Salahi speaks to Rachel Hosker, University of Edinburgh Archivist and Collections Manager, about their visit to the Edinburgh archives, the history of Sudan within the archives, and the colonial politics of cultural heritage ownership.

After their conversation, Zaki reflects with two other members of the Sudanese community, who have chosen not to be named, about their visit to the University of Edinburgh's Anatomical Museum's 'collection of African skulls.' Two of the skulls on display were stolen during the Battle of Omdurman, one episode during the British colonial conquest of Sudan.
