We fixed today's statement on #Sudan by UN Secretary General @antonioguterres. The people of #Darfur deserve far more than our concern. They deserve action. Here's what he should've said instead.👇 #KeepEyesOnSudan #Genocide #NeverAgain

Please take a moment to absorb the enormity of what is unfolding in Darfur right now. Despite a comms blackout, we know a major massacre is unfolding because a genocidal militia are posting snuff videos on social media and bragging about their body counts. W/ @mutasimali3
