This reminds me 'Liberty Leading the People' of Eugene Delacroix.. So impressive..

He was overthrown he didn't step down

The epitome snapshot of the media in 2019: CNN posts a photo of 10 other people in the foreground videotaping something happening with their phones.

Such a brave woman is what we need!.... people who stop at nothing 🙌👏👏👏👏👏

Women are still the greatest in all they choose to do. I'm proud we have the precious gift call woman in this world. Victory to all in Sudan, the tyrant is out.

He is out but the people loyal to him are still in power, one of the his might come to take power and want to set his own record. All must be ousted to start the country afresh with new faces

The problem with this resignation is that; whoever that will succeed him will want to set new longetivity record like is one I'll stay in office more than you contest. Bane of African leadership. Sudan Bashir

angels are here to voice GODs displeasure with RightWing Conservative ideology and using name of the Almighty to do evil deeds

This is a rare scene in a pure Muslim society where a female could emerge to this level... Islam stressed upon the role of mothers to educate their generation and anchor 'the family' a very useful social institution...

Great Show of Women Power

As Sudan brutalizes its people, the US offers closer relationsBeaten in the streets, taken to secret “ghost houses” and submitted to freezing torture techniques. Despite former detainees’ accounts of Sudan’s brutal crackdown, the US is still offering closer ties. Why do we continue to offer ties with authoritarian governments? The dems/non capitalists should all be billed individually.That is for reparations for black folks.The dems enslaved the black folks,the dems initiated the civil war to keep black folks enslaved, dems created Jim Crow laws. Repubs authored & passed the Emancipation Proclamation
