Raise Awareness about the Sudan crisis

visit the website If you are unsatisfied with a service, you pick up your phone and vilify about it to make the world know, your condemnation floods with hashtags to spread them; you have options to voice your opinion but in Sudan millions of civilians are struggling to make their voices heard despite the state-imposed internet blackout. The government led massacre in Sudan has taken lives of 500 innocent people including children, women have been raped and bodied of the protesters have been dumped into the river of Nile but it’s barely receiving any news coverage.

Activists, commentators and civilians around the world have criticised the lack of coverage of the situation by international media organisations. Many commentators have compared it with the incident of Notre-Dame Cathedral in Paris, which was all over the news, minutes after it started burning. And raised 1 billion dollars for restoration within few days. It is heart-wrenching that an architecture seems to be more important than humans and their lives.

How It All Started?

It all started last year, in December, the protest broke out in Sudan, when economic crisis emptied bank machines and forced the government to triple the price of bread. The protest soon became a nationwide movement demanding the resignation of Omar al-Bashir, the Islamist-backed military dictator who had ruled the country since 1989. He was finally overthrown in April, when a massive sit-in camp outside military headquarters in Khartoum forced top generals to mount a coup against him. Soon the protesters demanded democracy.

Now Sudan is in the midst of a political crisis after security forces opened fire on pro-democracy protesters in the capital, Khartoum. Representatives of the protesters had been in talks with the military over who would take control after the ousting of long-time President Omar al-Bashir. But negotiations collapsed when a military crackdown on 3 June left dozens of protesters dead. Now the country is on the verge of civil war. Much of the country was then shut down by an open-ended strike called by the opposition and Sudan has cut off internet access to end mass protests.

Several celebrities, including Rihanna on Instagram Stories, George Clooney writing for Politico, and Ne-Yo, have used their platform to talk about the massacre and media blackouts, as have influencers. People are making their profile pictures blue for Sudan on social media right now to raise awareness about the Sudan crisis.

It is important to spread the news and awareness, so do your share, and share the news, videos and posts about it, make sure everyone around you, are aware of what is happening. It is not about religion or race, it is about humanity. We cannot remain silent about this; remember, unity is our strength.
