Former Nigerian Senator Shehu Sani has taken to his verified Twitter account to draw attention to the dire situation in Sudan, attributing the country’s ongoing crisis to the actions of its political elites and the influence of foreign powers.
Sani’s tweet, accompanied by a poignant video, states, “How the Political Elites of The Sudan supported by foreign powers destroyed their Country in their quest for power. 15k killed, 33k injured, and 12 million fled their homes.”
The numbers presented by Sani paint a grim picture of the humanitarian catastrophe unfolding in Sudan. According to his tweet, the relentless power struggle among Sudanese political elites, exacerbated by external interventions, has led to the deaths of 15,000 individuals, left 33,000 injured, and forced 12 million people to flee their homes.
