People can detach from the wars/ genocides happening because they think that they’re happening in an alternate reality & that it could never happen to them or anyone they know.
But whenever I watch the videos, I’m aware that it could’ve easily been me.
It could easily be you.

There’s a very serious mental health crisis happening among Sudani men. Especially heads of households.
In a society where so much of a man’s pride lies in his ability to protect those he loves and provide for them, most of them have - overnight - lost the ability to do either.

There was a time where I didn’t bother shaming people into caring about the situation in Sudan because if you needed to be shamed then you likely wouldn’t know how to meaningfully engage and understand what’s happening.
That was back when it was a revolution, now it’s a war.

Whenever people say that they didn’t reach out because “they don’t understand what’s going on”, I think about how my friend Kayla - from Guinea Bissau & Britain - heard about the coup in 2021, came over, made dinner, then sat and listened.

From my experience, non-Sudani people are bored of our suffering (the events over the years all look like the same story to them), they think we should be used to it & some of them are reluctant to engage because they think we might deserve it.
The problem isn’t that sudanese people aren’t doing enough, the problem is the world only listens when you look a certain way.

Azhar’s grandparents passed away alone and horrified in Khartoum as she was forced to beg helplessly for them to be saved.
They haven’t even been able to give them a burial that would honour their lives & acknowledge their grief. This is a nightmare. We do not deserve this.
my grandmother has passed away. We’ve been struggling to find a way to get her out and bury her. Apparently it’s already been a few days. If anyone knows someone from the SAF/RSF who can help get her out or at least bury her at the backyard of our house please lmk.

This left my Twitter neighborhood so let me clarify:
1. I’m Sudanese and this is mainly about Sudan.
2. This is not a hypothetical where I am straining to relate. I was in Khartoum months before the war began. I grew up there. It could - very easily - have been me.
People can detach from the wars/ genocides happening because they think that they’re happening in an alternate reality & that it could never happen to them or anyone they know.
