Pakistani Celebrities Stand in Solidarity with Sudanese Civilians

The recent massacre in Sudan has left the whole world shocked. The civil war going on in Sudan due to which innocent civilians are being brutally killed and suppressed is something that should not be taking place in the 21^st century but unfortunately, these stories are real.

People who were silently protesting against the government are being murdered and the poor souls are being thrown in The Nile in order to hide the perpetrators heinous crimes.  It doesn’t only stop there, women and children are being raped and killed. Children as young as seven to eight years old are being raped and the media remains silent. This is an alarming situation and the most shocking thing is that there’s no media coverage. There are no headlines on news channels and no live coverage of the brutality that these innocent people are facing.

Many civilians in different states have taken it upon themselves to spread awareness regarding the unfair and unjust happenings in Sudan through their own social media. And many Pakistani celebrities have also played their part in raising awareness and have condemned the act.

My heart is in pieces.
Humanity seems to be an emotion of ancient times.
What is this world we live in?
Inhumane & ugly display of power.
I stand in solidarity with #Sudan like we must for such massacres across the globe.
Unfortunately I don’t have to go very far to begin with. pic.twitter.com/CLRZTl4GQ5

Why is barely any international news channel giving this proper coverage? It’s heartbreaking to read about what’s happening in #Sudan and so is the indifference towards it. https://t.co/YxSRISaIIf

Some celebrities have only changed their profile picture to a shade of blue that has been going viral. A young man who was killed in Sudan had this same blue profile picture on his Instagram account which people are now replacing their own profile pictures with in his honour. Pakistani celebritites Arij and Ushna have also done the same to support the Sudanese people.

Goodwill Ambassador of UN Women, Muniba Mazari, has also posted on her social media and she stands in solidarity with Sudanese people as well.
