For over 17 months, the Sudanese people have endured a senseless war that has created one of the world’s worst humanitarian crises.
Kidnapping, sexual assault, and famine have threatened millions – and now, the month-long siege on El Fasher, Darfur has become a full-on assault.

In #Sudan, instead of fireworks, 2024 started with the sound of artillery - the two sound remarkably the same, but ring in a very different new year, one filled with despair, not hope.
This year #Sudan tops the #IRC list of wars that need to be watched in 2024.

The international community must scale up any/all support to them.

“There are piles of bodies which are visible from outer space."
Visible from outer space. Let that sink in.
And what is the world's response to war in #Sudan? Silence, firmly keeping heads in the sand, sclerotic apathy or...sending more weapons for more killing.
Disgusting.
Agree with her or disagree with her.
But this attempt to silence @RepRashida's voice in this important moment is a shame. Congress should instead focus on solving actual problems in our country and moving our world toward peace.
Standing with you, my friend. ❤☮
I am the only Palestinian American serving in Congress, and my perspective is needed here now more than ever. I will not be silenced and I will not let anyone distort my words.
I’m from Detroit, where I learned to speak truth to power, even if my voice shakes.
Join us tomorrow for this webinar on Solidarity with Sudan and Sudanese. The focus will be to hear from resistance committee members and Sudanese artists/activists on the LIVE revolution. Link to webinar on the poster. Kindly circulate to our friends back home in Sudan.

What would happen if migrants on boats with limited resources were also seen as brave explorers gifted with curiosity and wonder for depths unknown, I wonder.
