Read below @standnow's statement on the latest developments in Sudan! The genocide in Darfur was the reason STAND was initially founded. We are following the unfolding events and hope that #Sudan can have an inclusive, sustainable and peaceful transition.

[STAND @standnow]

We are cautiously optimistic about the removal of Omar al-Bashir, the former Sudanese president. However, we stand with the protesters who call for a civilian government and for al-Bashir to be extradited to the Hague. Read our statement here.
