Sudan: Forces of Freedom and Change – Important Statement (02.08.2022)

About (the statements of the commander of the Rapid Support Forces about the failure of the coup)

The commander of the Rapid Support Forces, General Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo admitted in an interview with BBC Arabic channel, the failure of the October 25, 2021 coup, the collapse of the country in all fields and its announcement once again to accept the integration of Rapid Support into the army to establish a single regular army.

These statements proved that the mass popular movement, which confronted the coup and resisted it from its first hour, with determination and courage without breaking, is progressing in the direction of achieving its complete and undiminished goals. And that the revolutionary accumulation of our people’s struggles will pave the way towards completing the tasks of the glorious December revolution and overcoming all plans to block the road ahead, whatever their source.

Getting the country out of the current tunnel and avoiding the risk of regression to the worst scenarios will only come with an actual response to the people’s demands by ending this coup completely and establishing a full democratic civil authority that will lead the burden of the transition according to new constitutional arrangements according to which the transitional period will be managed and the achievement of the goals of the December revolution and its slogans of freedom, peace, justice and the dismantling of empowerment, the formation of a single professional national army that carries out its constitutional and legal duties and exits from political action and the circle of economic and commercial work, and is fully committed to the country’s foreign policies by not engaging in any diplomatic or military activities parallel to the policies and directions of the state, and that the security institutions carry out their duties in protecting the country’s resources from looting and smuggling.

We in the Forces of Freedom and Change affirm that the duty of the current moment for all the forces of the revolution is to unite ranks, unite visions and positions, sharpen determination, overcome differences and petty matters, rise to the ranks and continue the peaceful civil struggle which fulfills the hopes and aspirations of our people in ending this coup and defeating it completely, restoring the democratic transition and realizing the dreams of the martyrs, wounded, missing and detainees of this revolution in the civil and democratic state.

Sudan: Khartoum City Resistance Committees Coordination – Our People’s Steadfastness on July 31 March (31.07.2022)

Our Heroic People:

Salutations to the sons and daughters of our defiant people, as well as to all the defiant resistance fighters in all regions of Sudan who are steadily advancing toward realizing their objectives. And we pray for God’smercy and forgiveness for the martyrs of our glorious revolution as they await justice for their pure souls and for the safe return of the missing, and for the full freedom of the detainees.

Today, the processions of honorable revolutionaries have been subjected to grave violations, documented crimes, and extreme repression in the capital, Khartoum, in front of the People’s Palace and the city of Bahri and Omdurman. The brutal coup authority used tear gas, stun grenades, sticks and batons, resulting in dozens of injured and many arrests. Which clearly confirms that the dictatorial coup authority is repeating the same scenario of crimes and oppression that the defunct salvation regime pursued, and that it is a direct extension of it, and it will inevitably meet the same miserable fate — complete overthrow.

Despite the arsenal of tyranny, the truth’s will prevailed against the machine of oppression. It was a clear representation of the standpoint of our people in rejecting the authority of the coup, and the brave, honorable act of the free revolutionaries.

We also urge on all the forces of revolution and change to quickly organize in a broad front to overthrow the coup and to emphasize the continuity of resistance and the diversity of its tools and forms until the demands of the mass movement are achieved, and the will of the people is not overpowered.

Long live our people free and victorious

Sudan: Sudanese Congress Party – Statement (31.07.2022)

A statement of solidarity with the Organization of the Families of the Martyrs of the Glorious December Revolution and a condemnation of the coup authority’s decision to evacuate the organization’s headquarters

The Council of Ministers of the coup d’état, through the General Administration of Government Real Estate, issued a letter on July 12, 2022 AD Instructed the Organization of the Families of the Martyrs of the Glorious December Revolution to evacuate the organization’s headquarters within 72 hours from the date of the letter, and the organization refused to implement the decision and announced through its Secretary-General not to comply with the decision of the coup authority.

We in the Sudanese Congress Party condemn and reject this decision altogether and in detail, and we declare our full solidarity with the Organization of the Families of the Martyrs of the Glorious December Revolution. Cutting the path of completing the process of civil democratic transformation, as well as being an extension of the cycles of regression from the goals of the revolution that this brute authority has been implementing, foremost of which are the files of justice, this necessitates the continuation of the peaceful mass struggle that seeks to end this coup through all tried and creative means, leading to a general strike and comprehensive civil disobedience.

Long live our people free and victorious

Sudan: Khartoum City Resistance Committees Coordination – July 31 March (29.07.2022)

To begin, we pray for God’s mercy for the honorable martyrs of the homeland in all parts of Sudan, and mercy and forgiveness for the martyrs of the Sudanese revolution, who dreamed of a homeland in which the values of freedom, justice, peace and the right to a decent life are exalted, a homeland that does not take away their lives from its sons & daughters, a speedy recovery for the wounded and injured, and freedom for detainees of the forces of peaceful movement, shame and disgrace to the putschists.

The torrential torrent of mass movement on the July 31 march in the capital is determined to teach the putschists and opportunists a new eloquent lesson in the meanings of the popular will that stripped the coup authority of their legitimacy, on a day documented with valor in the history of Sudan and the pages of the glorious December revolution, so that in the present of the peaceful resistance, it becomes a significant event on the road to overthrowing the coup and establishing a pure civil authority

Let us make July 31 March an earthquake that shakes the rusty coffin of the coup authority, and exposes its contradiction to the will of our proud people who are determined to sweep it to the dustbin of history, and to establish a pure civil authority, leading to a full civil democratic transformation.

We affirm that we are on our path towards overthrowing the coup authority and building our civil state and the revolutionary tide and the mass escalation of resistance by all tried and innovative methods will continue until their complete overthrow. Our people are stronger and retreat is impossible, and the violence of the putschists will not defeat the will and valor of our people.

The Executive Office of the Forces of Freedom and Change held an emergency meeting today, Saturday, July 23, 2022, during which it addressed the speech of the Rapid Support Commander, which he published late last night, and after extensive discussion, we summarize our position as follows:

2. The speech contained a positive acknowledgment of some of the demands of the mass movement, the most important of which is the necessity of handing over full power to civilians, and the complete withdrawal of the military institution from politics and devote it to its constitutional duties and commitment to security and military reform, which includes access to a professional and national army and commitment to and completion of peace.

3. We see in the Forces of Freedom and Change that the coup leads the country to a dangerous situation that threatens the country’s unity and stability, and that our country will survive bad scenarios it will only be possible for the revolutionary authority to step down and to establish a full civil authority that expresses the revolution and its issues during a transitional period in which the immediate start of security and military reform that leads to a single army, and in which issues of justice are addressed in a comprehensive and equitable manner, and the tasks of the glorious December revolution are implemented and at the end of it, it leads to free and fair elections in which our people choose who governs them.

4. We affirm in the Forces of Freedom and Change that the establishment of full democratic civil authority requires the unity of the revolutionary forces and their adherence to the issues of comprehensive democratic change, and we will continue our work on it with diligence and diligence, the Forces of Freedom and Change will present a draft constitutional declaration for all the revolutionary forces and the civil and political democratic forces, based on all the charters produced by the revolution’s forces and on the honest and transparent evaluation of our transitional experiences in order to ensure that our country is placed on the path of sustainable democratic transformation, and to make the October 25 coup the last of our country, and to close this page completely.

5. We call on the regional and international community to stand in solidarity with the Sudanese people and support them in their relentless pursuit of peace, justice and freedom this requires a deep understanding, because the stability equation in Sudan is linked to a real democratic civil transformation.

Sudan: Hemeti continues to cleans his hands of blood…

Lt. Gen. Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo aka Hemeti issued a Press Release yesterday. The Vice President of the Transitional Sovereign Council and part of the Transitional Military Council. The two time coup d’etat leader is now trying to claim moral superiority. That is very clear and he has tried to envision himself in a different image. However, his past and warlord activity will never leave his sights. That’s why his so connected and been a commander of the Rapid Support Force (RSF)/Janjaweed in Darfur. It isn’t like Hemeti is innocent doesn’t have skulls to answer for. He does and that history will never leave his name.

That’s why a Press Release like yesterday is to rebrand and objectively made to differentiate him from others. His trying to be the good governor among the military commanders in the Sovereign Council. Hemeti is trying to say the rights things, but the same government has promoted and prolonged the agony of the Republic. The military commanders who he is a part of is behind massacres and extra judicial murders of civilians. So, Hemeti cannot just suddenly act like his righteous. That’s not how it works…

Here is the most poignant quotes from the Press Release!

The spread of tribal conflicts throughout the country and bloodshed without taking into account the sanctity of the soul that God has forbidden to touch, and the high voices of hatred and racism will inevitably lead our country to collapse, which we will not be part of and we will not remain silent or silent at all about everyone who threatens this country and its people” (Hemeti, 22.07.2022).

It is not like this is anything new. The happenings in the Blue Nile State is tragic and shouldn’t have occurred. However, this is nothing new and he himself has used the RSF for similar actions in the Darfur for years. The TMC and the Military Commanders has also ensured similar actions over the years too. So, the Lt. Gen. cannot run away from that and yes, the acts are wrong, but its not the right person who is issuing this sort of statement. It doesn’t feel sincere from. This is only done for political capital and the quote just proves that…

I have spent the past weeks in Darfur and will return to it again to continue what I started there and implement and complete the peace agreement. I was shocked by the extent of the destruction left by years of wars and marginalization there, the size of conflicts and disputes between the components of the region, the spread of poverty, poor services and the absence of the state, I have made great efforts, the results of which are beginning to show promising, so I will continue with my other comrades the work we have embarked on so that every inch of our country enjoys security and stability and until we end the rhetoric of racism and hatred once and for all” (Hemeti, 22.07.2022).

The Lt. Gen. must think we are fools and not know the history of his armed militia. The destruction of Darfur has been done under his watch and command. The RSF or Janjaweed have been known for this activity. The acts of massacres and ruthless killings is well-known. It has been documented and its not like its an unknown feature. That’s why he should take some responsibility for the state of affairs, because his a vital part of the deconstruction, which has been going on for years. He made the Darfur bleed and it’s easy access to what the Janjaweed did. So, Hemeti cannot just ask like a statesman and be held accountable for his actions. It is sickening and the time he has spent in Khartoum haven’t really changed him. He just knows the game of playing the publicity stunt now. However, it doesn’t change his past or the manner of his known to operate…

In conclusion, I reiterate, and from the position of my national and moral responsibility, my full commitment to work to protect the goals of the glorious December revolution, and to protect the transitional period so that it leads to a real democratic transformation and free and fair elections. On reforming the military and security system and implementing the Juba Agreement for the Peace of Sudan, including the provision of security arrangements for a single professional army that reflects Sudan’s plurality and diversity, preserves the country’s security and sovereignty and repels all forms of aggression against it” (Hemeti, 22.07.2022).

We know that Al-Burhan and Hemeti wants to “own” the December Revolution. However, they tried to hijack it and make it their own. That was done to legitimize their reign. Hemeti is trying to forge that narrative and they have done this both of them. It is really sickening that they are doing this. When we know what they both did and ordered to the civilians before and after the revolution. They are still using force against the resistance and the civilians who are protesting. Therefore, these words are not sincere. Far from it and only done for the naive to swallow.

The Lt. Gen. are doing and saying these words to make himself a credible character. However, no one should believe him. The ones who does… should look into the man and his actions. His not the man who intends to portray himself as. The words aren’t accurate and everyone should know that. Peace.

Sudan: Al Roseires Resistance Committees – The current situation in the Blue Nile State (23.07.2022)

The masses of the struggling Sudanese people: We in Al Roseires resistance committees have been closely following what the regional and central governments are doing in response to recent events, they are abandoning many of their responsibilities towards citizens as they are supposed to serve citizens, not domineering over them.

The city of Roseires suffers in every way from a lack of emergency medications, medical personnel, and food supply, as well as a total absence of hospital security, which has caused many medical personnel to withdraw from the hospital out of fear for their lives resulting suffering of the citizens, despite the knowledge of all concerned authorities about this shortcoming.

In addition, the burning of the electrical transformer and the Blue Nile state-wide power outage since two days ago impacting other utilities, such as drinking water supply, mills, and service facilities, which made life in the state of Blue Nile unbearable for its residents.

In the meanwhile, we notice the appearance of those in suits and the traders in crisis to receive humanitarian relief convoys and behave as they please, given their absence during the days of the recent events, proves that they are targeting the rights of the afflicted people, but we are on the lookout for them

The situation that the Blue Nile is going through now is like a war on the citizen despite the interventions to maintain security. there are many evidences that reveal that there is a plan in motion, and the arrest of activists in the state of Blue Nile will not obscure the truth. The world has become a small village, so the truth will come out sooner or later.

Despite the three-day power outage and attempts to entirely isolate the Blue Nile state in all aspects, we assure them that everyone will be informed of whatever they do. There is proof in the history books, and we will never bend to their blows.
