With respect to the current critical state of Sudan, social media users everywhere are being urged to spread awareness and to speak up for help. A number of local celebrities have also joined in the cause, taking on social media to raise their voice for the mass injustice spreading in the Muslim country.

For those who are unaware of the intricacies of the situation, it all started when Sudan’s security forces opened fire on unarmed protesters at a sit-in outside military headquarters in Khartoum. The events that followed are gruesome, to say the least, with people being raped, beaten, killed and then thrown in the Nile River mercilessly.

Amidst the whole blackout and lack of social media coverage, a Sudanese influencer also took to Instagram to share the real picture.

And in the midst of all the support being lent by people worldwide, Pakistani celebrities have also jumped on the bandwagon, making use of their platform for the right cause. In a tweet, Mahira Khan brought up how there is barely any international coverage over the grave ongoing crisis, which is heartbreaking in all aspects.

In a detailed Instagram post, Hania Amir also attempted to spread awareness about what exactly is going on and how everyone can help. The actress also changed her profile picture to show support, as everyone else is doing so to a specific shade of blue.
