Elements of the defunct regime continue their attempt to liquidate the revolutionary forces after they ignited the war through an organized campaign that began targeting political and civil forces, doctors, journalists, public opinion leaders, and resistance committees.
The Civil Front for Stopping War and Restoring Democracy believes that the incident of targeting resistance committees and attempting to betray them and accusing them of siding with one of the two sides of the conflict is the same approach that sought to betray doctors, question their professionalism, and accuse them of the same accusation, and by them the political and civil forces that declared their position rejecting the war, which holds both sides of the war, attacked Conflict full responsibility for what happened.
This clarifies more and more an important goal of this war, which is to completely liquidate the forces of the revolution and pounce on them, especially since the hate speech and media propaganda of the elements of the isolated regime unequivocally exposed their plans.
The Civil Front warns against exploiting the elements of the defunct regime of the armed forces and their various platforms to settle scores with the political forces and the living civil society. It also affirms that the armed forces must be a national institution, which must not be exploited or siding with any political or ideological group, especially if that group stands against the process of civil-democratic transformation and seeks to restore the isolated totalitarian regime.
The Civil Front to Stop the War and Restore Democracy with all civil, political and societal forces seeking to achieve democratic transition, civil transformation, and achieve the goals and aspirations of the glorious December Revolution, renews the call for rallying and continuous and joint action to stop the war, coordinate positions and efforts, and continue to besiege war and hate speech.

Our country is still living in the atmosphere of the war, which is entering its fourth week, which reinforces the catastrophic conditions that are exacerbating day after day from our position calling for the need to stop it immediately without delay.
In the midst of the tragedies of the accursed war, we have mercy on all the martyrs who fell in it, and we wish the speedy recovery of the injured and the wounded, the safe return of the missing, and the safety of all our people in war zones who are patient in their hell and who were forced by the circumstances of armed clashes to search for a safe haven.
We extend our salutations, thanks and gratitude to the male and female doctors of Sudan who did not break the oath of the profession, so they worked in the darkest moments and the worst conditions and without capabilities and recorded an epic and presented martyrs and martyrs and risked their lives so that others might live.
Our mission also bows to the male and female volunteers of the Sudanese youth and the members and members of the resistance committees and emergency rooms throughout the state of Khartoum who voluntarily rushed to fill the void resulting from the absence of the state apparatus in the areas of health services, securing neighborhoods, providing and organizing the distribution of the necessary and necessary needs, as well as receiving those coming from war zones or those present At the border crossings, they have confirmed that the future of Sudan is in safe hands.
In light of these extremely dangerous circumstances, other sectors presented honorable models in order to reduce the damage to citizens, especially those working in the fields of electricity and water services. They strive to provide these services.
Sudanese men and women presented luminous models of interdependence, cohesion and synergy inspired by our Sudanese social heritage. A unique and cohesive fabric in adversity and misfortune, so people opened their homes and shared “food and bread” in the cities and countryside of the regions and states. The country, despite these circumstances, was devoid of any camps for the displaced in the states near Khartoum, emphasizing that What unites the people of the same country is stronger and deeper than all calls, strife, hate speech and discrimination on the basis of culture, tribe or religion.
Many neighboring, friendly and loving countries of the Sudanese people hastened to open the borders to receive those departing from the war zones or to extend the residence of the stranded and host them and to provide humanitarian aid and organize talks to end the war and support the legitimate aspirations of the Sudanese people for freedom, peace, justice and the restoration of civil rule. Our people will never forget the stand of our neighbors and friends from The governments and people who supported him through this ordeal.
In the Forces for Freedom and Change, we affirm our firm position that is not subject to any outbidding or extortion, that this war must be ended and stopped immediately, and support joint discussions between its two sides in the Saudi city of Jeddah, according to the Saudi-American initiative, to reach a cease-fire and resolve contentious issues through a comprehensive political solution that leads to peace, justice, civil democratic transformation, and security reform. And a military one leads to a single professional national army that distances itself from politics
The Forces for Freedom and Change monitor the plans of the exterminated regime and its dissolved party aimed at transferring the war to other regions and turning it into a civil war by exploiting the incitement of tribal strife and exploiting the absence of state institutions. To work together and together to thwart this miserable and hopeless evil scheme and to end the last episodes of the exterminated regime and its dreams of returning to rule the country or razing it over the head of everyone as a punishment to all Sudanese men and women for the December revolution that ended their hateful rule that extended for thirty lean years.
The will of our people for life will triumph over the reality of war and for the sake of peace, freedom and justice, and it will ultimately defeat all those who oppose it.

We begin by paying respect to the martyrs of the great December Revolution and the treacherous putschists war. Speedy recovery for the wounded and injured, safe return to all the missing and displaced.
Our resistant People:
In spite of this accursed war, the suffering of which we are currently experiencing, we witnessed a shameless statement on the platform of the Armed Forces, in which two members of the Resistance Committees were detained and accused of conspiring with the Rapid Support Militia.
The resistance committees made sacrifices for the sake of this country, not made by any of the leaders of the fateful October 25 coup. The committees tirelessly provided much-needed humanitarian aid in response to the crisis caused by the war. extended to health emergency teams, where members responded to the moral and humanitarian call to action, striving to save as many innocent lives as possible. In contrast, the war leaders showed a complete lack of care or conscience towards the same innocent lives they were tasked to protect.
We have rejected the war since its inception, we reject it now, and we will reject it in the future because of its consequences on the country and the citizen. What was stated on the Armed Forces platform is nothing more than a long-standing disgrace that gets resurfaced every time they try to conceal it.
What was said in another statement on the Rapid Support Militia’s platform will not sway us from our position towards the dissolution of these forces that wreak havoc in the land, the resistance committees are not the ones who granted legitimacy or provide political and economic support to this militia and will not be a tool for either party nor will they promote war, chaos, or destruction. Rather, will continue to advocate for peace and work towards fulfilling the demands of the revolution based on the principles and values on which it was founded.
Our revolutionary comrades:
We, in Al Kalakla and South Khartoum Resistance Committees Coordination, condemn the behavior of the war leaders and their involvement of the resistance committees in their power struggle. We hold the military leadership and intelligence responsible for the safety of the detained revolutionaries. We affirm that we do not support any side over the other, and we reject this war in its entirety.
Our revolution’s demands remain firm and unchanged, including the return of the military to the barracks and the dissolution of the Janjaweed militias.
