			'''Sudan'''

			* We need to focus on mis/disinformation (endangering people with wrong dangerous routes). For example, there were incident of Disinformation / lies about fake support (UN providing support) yet it turned out to be RSF trapping people.
			* We must keep in mind that there’s no infrastructure (no water, no electricity, lack of stable telecom services)
			* Big cities outside Khartoum, although they have good services, but now bc of pressure from people moving from Khartoum, services are strained, so more burden on networks/ out of order.
			* We need to focus on which services might leave or reduce services, such as MTN (MTN left Syria, have reduced share in Iran)
			* We need to support fact checking efforts, mainstream reliable sources
			* We must focus on Meta to do their own fact-checking processes / and deplatforming of RSF/ removing posts

The monthly meetups bring together folks from the MENA region to share, connect, seek help, and release stress by celebrating each other. In addition, it's a time for us to find ways to support each other, and help us understand what is happening in our part of the world. If you cannot attend the monthly meetups, we are taking notes of each gathering and linking to them below.
