In the post, which has since gone viral, Khidir says she felt moved to write about the crisis after she learned her friend had been murdered by government forces.
“My best friend was in hiding on June 2 and that’s the last time I spoke to him,” Khidir wrote. “He was missing for 4 days and when I got in touch with him he said: ‘I was caught, beaten and abused and humiliated and arrested and had my phone confiscated from me. I am injured currently.’”“I am at my office crying because I have so many emotions in me and I feel horrible. There’s a massacre happening in my country Sudan’s and a media blackout and internet censorship for four consecutive days….
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.”
