Church guide

Earlier this year, there was a huge victory for the people of Sudan when Omar Al-Bashir, the dictator who ruled the country for thirty years finally stepped down. It was decided then that Sudan would have a transitional government led by the military council until a new leader was elected. Since then, our brothers and sisters in Sudan have been protesting for their freedom and participating in peaceful sit-ins demanding a civilian led government. On June 3rd, the day before Eid Al-Fitr, those peaceful sit-ins ended in a unforgettable massacre of protesters. Authorities have banned social media platforms and cut off all data in Khartoum, the capital of Sudan. This has made it extremely difficult to display the injustices currently happening to the Sudanese people. They are being raped, beaten, and killed with little to no media coverage. There have been over 100 confirmed deaths, and nearly 600 injuries. Bodies have been thrown into the Nile River, and this is far from over. Many people around the world have changed their profile pictures to blue to honor Mohamed Mattar and all the martyrs of the revolution. The specific shade of blue was his favorite color and profile picture prior to his death. Mohamed was martyred while protecting two women during the #SudanMassacre. We stand in solidarity with our brothers and sisters in Sudan and pray for eventual justice. We encourage our community to stand by one another in this hard time. Use your platform to be vocal about what’s going on. Attend events and protests, share these stories, and say the martyrs names. Always remember that with every hardship comes ease, in order to move forward you must go back. We ask that Allah SWT grants them victory and justice against their oppressors. May Allah have mercy on Mohamed, and all the martyrs his legacy stands for, and grant them the highest level of Jannah. May they Rest in Power and Peace. #MattarBlue #BlueForSudan #SudanUprising #SudanRevolts #Sudan #SudanMassacre #Sudan_Internet_Blackout #IAmTheSudanRevolution

Deah Barakat was a NC state alumnus and second year student at the University of North Carolina School of Dentistry. His wife, Yusor Abu Salha was also a NC state alumna, and planned to enroll in the UNC school of dentistry as well. Her younger sister Razan was an undergraduate architecture student at NC state. On February 10, 2015 these three young Muslims were gunned down in their home by a neighbor. This act of violence was driven by hate and bigotry. Today, the man who took the lives of #ourthreewinners was sentenced to life in prison without parole. Let’s keep the Abu Salha and Barakat family in our prayers today and everyday. We ask that Allah grants Deah, Yusor, and Razan the highest level of Jannah and continues to give their families strength. #Chapelhillshooting
