UNHCR Warns Against Spread of Misinformation in Ethiopia and Sudan Situation

UNHCR is aware of a doctored image, presented as a Tweet from UNHCR’s official account in Sudan, being circulated via messaging services. This image is false and was never posted from our official verified Twitter account.

UNHCR is alarmed about the spreading of false information. We urge all those posting on social media to verify information and exercise responsibility and care before publishing and sharing images. 

UNHCR’s official statement on recent developments in Sudan and Ethiopia is available here.
