In screenshots of text accompanying the post, Khidir references Khartoum, where, according to the text, “no one is allowed to move — if you see someone you know being shot to the ground you’re not allowed to pick up their dead body.”

Khidir told The Cut over email that since her post went up last week she’s been inundated by messages of support. “I am so impressed by the amount to messages and condolences and kindest words and warmest regards that people have sent me,” said Khidir. “There’s a complete internet blackout and we have to be the peaceful protestors’ voices.”

In April, former Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir, whose reign had lasted 30 years, was deposed in a military coup following popular uprisings against his government. The International Criminal Court has accused Bashir of crimes against humanity in the western region of Darfur.

CNN reports that the military council and pro-democracy organizers, who call themselves the Sudanese Professionals Association (SPA), had at first agreed on a three-year plan to transition to democracy, but negotiations broke down in May. On Thursday, Medani Abbas Medani, leader of the Declaration of Freedom and Change Forces (DFCF), said in a Facebook post, “There is no way to solve the complexity that cripples the country except by continue the revolution until we eliminate the military council.”

Khidir said of the relative media silence on Sudan, “It’s literally embarrassing how the international community and press has ignored this crisis. But I strongly believe that social media is mainstream media and that has done way more than any press.” Khidir continued, “I remember in undergrad I studied the Arab Spring and now students will study the Sudan Revolution!”
