The accursed war that broke out in various parts of Sudan completes its third week, as the scale of the humanitarian catastrophe afflicting the country increases daily, including killing, displacement, displacement, asylum, ethnic confrontations, the collapse of the health sector and basic services, the destruction of infrastructure, and the situation of the state entity itself at risk of fragmentation and collapse.
We, in the forces of freedom and change, have mercy on the dear souls that we lost during this war, and we wish a speedy recovery for the wounded and a return for the missing.. In view of the continuation of this reprehensible war, we summarize our vision on the current situation as follows:
First: We renew in the Forces for Freedom and Change our principled position rejecting this war and its continuation, and we communicate with the leadership of the Armed Forces and Rapid Support to urge them to stop the fighting and abide by the declared humanitarian truce, and the need to reach an urgent and permanent ceasefire that paves the way for a peaceful political solution that preserves the unity, security, peace and freedom of the country. And his dignity.
Second: We condemn all forms of violations that occur as a result of this war against defenseless civilians, acts of looting, assault, intimidation, and the use of heavy and light weapons within populated areas. We call for its immediate cessation and the opening of safe paths that enable national and international organizations working in the humanitarian field to deal with the disastrous effects of the war.
Third: We commend the important step taken by the forces of the revolution in establishing the Civil Front to stop the war and restore democracy, which included a wide spectrum of political forces, resistance committees, democratic civil society, professional groups, elected unions, and patriotic personalities, and we affirm our full support for expanding this front, developing its work, and tightening coordination among its components.
Fourth: We welcome the international and regional initiatives calling for a permanent ceasefire and a comprehensive political solution that ends the war, addresses its effects and ensures that it does not recur again. In this context, we commend the important steps taken by the US-Saudi initiative, and we appreciate the important role played by the United Nations, the African Union and IGAD. Through the tripartite mechanism, the Quartet countries, the troika, the European Union, the Arab League and all the efforts that are directed towards stopping the war and not fueling it. We call for the coordination and integration of these initiatives, building on the steps taken and strengthening cooperation in the humanitarian field to respond to the basic needs of those affected by this war.
Fifth: We are following the escalating campaign behind which the remnants of the defunct regime and their collaborators stand behind, seeking to hide their crime that they committed by dragging the country into this war and fueling its fire, by spreading baseless lies that attribute this armed conflict to the political process and the framework agreement that came to spare the country from this war, or spreading a lie that says That freedom and change called for this war or wanted to carry out a coup, which are all naive and baseless propaganda.
The threats posed by the remnants and their aides to the leaders of the Forces for Freedom and Change and the democratic civil forces and personalities expose their true role in igniting this war and their goals from it. Their plan is exposed and exposed, and our people will inevitably nullify it, and our country will emerge strong and healthy from this crisis.
In conclusion, we call on the sons and daughters of our people to retire from this war sedition, work to stop it, distance themselves from hate speech, regionalism and racism, and confront the plans of the remnants that increase its ignition. Our country is now facing a test that threatens the existence of the state and warns of the collapse of the homeland. This war and the achievement of our national goals of peace, justice, freedom and a decent life for all segments of our people without discrimination.
