An environmental activist group; Avaas, have raised concerns of an upcoming genocide in Sudan.
According to Avaas;
“You wouldn’t know it from the news, but Sudan is sliding into the jaws of genocide.
Over 27 towns have been massacred in recent weeks. Thousands were slaughtered as death went door to door: families murdered, bodies rotting outside, and mass graves appearing on satellite imagery. Now there’s evidence of child soldiers being used, and killed.
It’s already being called a genocide. But as journalists are hunted down or blocked from the country, mass atrocities are hidden from the news, and the world does almost nothing.
Over 300,000 people died in the Darfur genocide 20 years ago. We cannot let it happen again. Here’s what we can do.
Avaaz has identified a “sleeping network” of Sudanese journalists, ready to report from the frontlines. They can drag hidden horrors into the light — but first they need funding to operate in a literal war zone. We can provide it, along with photographers, fact-checkers, and targeted political pressure to shatter the silence. You’d also be supporting Avaaz campaigns on human rights”.
Avaas has since called for donations from the global environment to aid the Sudan social environment from the genocide;
“This isn’t about “making a donation” — it’s about funding action to prevent genocide. Together we can amplify Sudan’s silent scream, waking world leaders before it’s too late.
Another community could be under imminent attack. But now millions of us know. Let’s do something about it! Donate what you can now”
