@HagirNetwork The key message was to raise awareness and pressure for an end to the #war, with solutions including social media advocacy and understanding the complex web of international involvement.

[The Washington Center for Human Rights @WCHR_DC]

@HagirNetwork Elsheikh emphasized the critical need to raise awareness about the unfolding humanitarian disaster in Sudan. Due to the lack of media coverage, Sudan's crisis isn't receiving nearly the same level of attention as other global disasters.

[The Washington Center for Human Rights @WCHR_DC]
