 Entire towns are being massacred, and the world is just letting it 
happen...









                                Dear friends,
                                You wouldn't know it from the news, but 
Sudan is sliding into the jaws of genocide.

                                Over 27 towns have been massacred in recent 
weeks. Thousands were slaughtered as death went door to door: families 
murdered, bodies rotting outside, and mass graves appearing on satellite 
imagery. Now there's evidence of child soldiers being used, and killed.

                                It's already being called a genocide. But as 
journalists are hunted down or blocked from the country, mass atrocities are 
hidden from the news, and the world does almost nothing.

                                Over 300,000 people died in the Darfur 
genocide 20 years ago. We cannot let it happen again. Here's what we can do.

                                Avaaz has identified a "sleeping network" of 
Sudanese journalists, ready to report from the frontlines. They can drag 
hidden horrors into the light -- but first they need funding to operate in a 
literal war zone. We can provide it, along with photographers, 
fact-checkers, and targeted political pressure to shatter the silence. You'd 
also be supporting Avaaz campaigns on human rights.

                                This isn't about "making a donation" -- it's 
about funding action to prevent genocide. Together we can amplify Sudan's 
silent scream, waking world leaders before it's too late.

                                Another community could be under imminent 
attack. But now millions of us know. Let's do something about it! Donate 
what you can now:




                                I'LL DONATE $2

                                I'LL DONATE $3

                                I'LL DONATE $4

                                I'LL DONATE $5

                                I'LL DONATE $8

                                OTHER AMOUNT

                                This is a chance to have direct impact in 
the face of horror.

                                The scale of Sudan's crisis is staggering --  
but by pooling our donations, we can have an out-sized impact, pressuring 
world leaders to act. This could unlock far more than we'd achieve on our 
own: billions in life-saving aid, urgent peace-keeping missions, and 
sanctions on mass-murder weapons.

                                Sudan is at the heart of many Avaaz 
campaigns: from tackling hate speech and disinformation on social media, to 
fighting global inequality and the accelerating climate crisis. So while 
funding concrete action to prevent genocide, your donation will also power 
Avaaz campaigns on human rights and democracy. If we raise enough we could:

                                a.. Fund independent journalists to file 
photos, footage, and first-hand reports from Darfur and across Sudan;
                                b.. Support fact-checking organisations to 
verify news reports, tackle disinformation, and enable international 
coverage of mass atrocities;
                                c.. Power hard-hitting advocacy and media 
campaigns to drive political action on the looming genocide and the wider 
civil war; and
                                d.. Launch a specialist Human Rights Action 
Team to track emerging threats, and mobilise millions across the planet to 
defend democracy and our fundamental rights.
                                I refuse to live in a world where genocide 
can just slip by -- where "never again" becomes "again and again". Parents 
are being executed, their children orphaned in a war zone, as Sudan slides 
into darkness. Let's sound the sirens of genocide NOW:
                                I'LL DONATE $2

                                I'LL DONATE $3

                                I'LL DONATE $4

                                I'LL DONATE $5

                                I'LL DONATE $8

                                OTHER AMOUNT

                                When acts of bloodcurdling violence are kept 
in the dark, warlords win -- their crimes shielded from international 
scrutiny and action. But brought to light, survivors have a shot at justice 
and peace. We've proudly supported journalists on the ground before in war 
zones from Syria to Yemen to Ukraine, and we can help break the blackout 
again -- this time in Sudan. So we can truly say, never again.

                                With endless hope and fierce determination, 
always,

                                Mike, Camille, Kaitlin, Abdelrahman, Adela, 
Bert, and the whole team at Avaaz

                                Note: The photo we're using shows Adam 
Abdel, a young boy from central Darfur. He was badly burned when the 
Sudanese government dropped a bomb outside his home, in Burgu, Sudan, 
February 12, 2015. That violence is still ongoing -- and all signs are now 
pointing towards genocide. But due to the extreme danger and restrictions 
that journalists are facing, we are relying on older images to portray the 
violence unfolding today. As Darfur edges towards genocide again, reporters 
must be able to document mass atrocities so the bloodshed can be stopped --  
and those responsible held to account. Image credit: Adriane Ohanesian
