Bisha TV is a satirical web series created by Ganja and his friends in the Nuba Mountains of Sudan using puppets of dictator Omar al-Bashir. Made under extremely difficult conditions in a conflict zone, the show follows the president’s schemes to raise money for a campaign of violent suppression across Sudan. Despite the dangerous circumstances, over one million people watched Bisha TV, most of them inside Sudan, making it a powerful form of resistance through humour and satire. The name ‘Bisha’ comes from the nickname for Omar al-Bashir.
