The martyrs are never dead, they are forever in our hearts. Here is a thread of the events that occurred a year ago that led to the massacre of hundreds of peaceful protesters. *Viewer discretion advised *#SudanUprising #BlueForSudan #SudanMassacre 
These peaceful protests began December of 2018 in the city of Atbara when the price of bread doubled in price. Most of the public can barely afford to feed their families due to the dictatorship that Omar Al Bashir was running for 30 years.
After month’s of torture and civil unrest the dictatorship was toppled after a coup occurred. The Vice President and his colleagues took over power and stepped down in less than 24 hrs after the protestors called for a complete change of the government.

Using these videos, we can bring you a shocking, street-level view of the violence that was inflicted on protesters that morning…& the 1st direct testimony from men who say they took part in this attack
A quick note on the background to these events - In April, Sudan’s former president, Omar al-Bashir, was toppled by months of mass demonstrations.
Since then, protesters have been staging a peaceful, round-the-clock sit-in along Buri road, close to military HQ

On June 3, 2019, there was a massacre on the streets of Sudan’s capital, Khartoum.
This is the story of that massacre, told through the phone cameras of those who kept filming, even as they came under live fire.

Very desperate people always do very desperate, & usually very stupid, things - & the TMC & RSF are NOW “very desperate” people.

Mohammed Hamdan Dagallo, also known as Himedti, is the vice-president of the Sudanese transitional military council, and the commander of the Rapid Support Forces militia.
According to Amnesty International, #SudanMassacre is a result of the Rapid Support Forces bringing to Khartoum its history of murders, rapes, looting, and other crimes, from Darfur.
