Sudan: Forces of Freedom and Change – Executive Office – Important Statement (18.04.2022)

Yes to the political solution that fulfills the demands of the revolution.

Nor to legitimize the coup.

The Executive Office of the Forces of Freedom and Change held an emergency meeting yesterday evening, Sunday, April 17, 2022 AD, In it, he discussed in detail the invitation submitted by the joint mechanism of the United Nations, the African Union and the IGAD to hold a preparatory meeting that would lay the foundations for the political process. The meeting reached the following:

The position of the forces of freedom and change on the political solution is a principled and strategic position. We do not reject the political solution..but what solution do we want?

– The political solution we want is the one that fulfills the demands of the revolution to end the coup of October 25, 2021 AD and establish full civil authority, and opens the way for the completion of the national building process that fulfills the demands of the masses in justice, peace, democracy and sustainable development, we realize that the process of national building does not take place overnight, but it is necessary to lay a sound foundation that guides us towards achieving these goals that our people sought towards in three great revolutions.

We are categorically against the intervention of the people’s armed forces in politics and against military coups, and the solution we seek is based on the principle of a single professional army that reflects Sudanese diversity, ends the plurality of armies, and fixes the military and security sector, and in that lies the interest of Sudan and the armed forces and other regular forces.

– We affirm that we interact positively with the joint mechanism of the United Nations, the African Union and IGAD, and that its main task is to turn the page on the coup and establish civil authority, and we seek to work together to achieve this.

Our position on the joint mechanism’s invitation to the preparatory meeting:

The invitation of the joint mechanism for the preparatory meeting this week received a deep discussion from the executive office, and the office decided to reject the form and content of the preparatory meeting and to respond in writing to the joint mechanism, and demand that it take the following issues into account before beginning the preparation for a political process:

1- Climate action measures:

A / the full commitment of the revolutionary authority to stop violence against the mass movement and to return all the powers that authorize the regular forces to use violence on his head, the use of live bullets to the Public Prosecutor and the judiciary.

B / The release of all political detainees from the forces of the revolution, led by the resistance committees, leaders of freedom and change, and the committee to dismantle the regime of the thirtieth of June, and the recovery of public funds.

C / cancel the state of emergency.

2- The identification of the parties to the constitutional crisis must accurately reflect the nature of the crisis and the current alignment, and the parties to the crisis are the forces of resistance that support the process of civil democratic transformation and that confronted the coup of October 25, 2021 on the one hand, and the forces supporting the coup against the process of civil democratic transformation on the other hand.

3- Talking about the civil front’s consensus, which puts the opponents of the coup and its supporters on the same list, is an old and new attempt to form an incubator that supports the coup, to be under the control of the revolutionaries and to marginalize the forces of the real revolution, especially freedom and change, and to bless this new incubator, who is being chosen in a public auction these days and is talked about by the media, and all this is to pave the way for the holding of sham elections similar to the elections of the Bashir regime, especially since the Bashir regime has already returned.

4- The forces of freedom and change will send a detailed message to the joint mechanism announcing its demands and proposals for a political solution that the honorable martyrs deserve before the living resistance heroes, and opens the way for the establishment of a civil and democratic authority that our people well deserve.

Our commitment to adopting peaceful anti-coup tools means dealing with any political process – achieving the end of the coup and all its consequences and establishing a full civil authority – as one of the tested mechanisms in internal, regional and international conflicts, without compromising any of the demands of the revolution, rather, it is a choice whose reasons lie in the fact that it is the most efficient and least expensive mechanism.

The real entrance to the liquidation of the revolution is the planting of strife and disagreements among its ranks and forces, and attempts of treason and counter-treason, which is an abomination from the work of its enemies, and the confiscation and monopoly of the revolution according to a narrow intellectual or political perspective It does not accommodate the unity of all its forces. It also serves the forces of the counter-revolution and seeks to break up the forces of the revolution. Victory is tied to the cornerstones of our unity without outbidding or negligence.

Long live our people free and victorious

Sudan: Khartoum City Resistance Committees Coordination – The Military’s Cooperation with Former Regime Affiliates, the Islamic Movement and the Dissolved National Congress (17.04.2022)

We will trample every koz

Our people struggling for freedom:

Throughout the transition period, we followed the military’s cooperation with former regime affiliates, the Islamic movement and the dissolved National Congress, as well as their leniency with them to pressure civilians, the transitional government, and resistance committees through what was called (the green marches), and their cooperation with them following the coup indicates clear cooperation and alliance between the disbanded party and the coup authority by restoring all those who were removed from state offices and giving them back the money and real estate, all in order to attack the revolution and change. Here, we send the following messages to affiliates of the Salvation System, the defunct Islamic Movement, and the dissolved National Congress:

1. The price of your downfall has been the lives of Sudanese people all around the country since 1989. They were martyred by torture, murder, conflicts, and wars, as well as through sanctioning justice and judicial institutions, dismissal and forced retirement, and empowering your affiliates. The logic of freedom, peace, and justice is to never return, and we will harass you with chanting, media, and legal pursuits, and expose all of your corruption and complicity in the neighborhoods with the security and military services in working as informants for the coup authority, and we have lists of your names that we will reveal later.

2. We have been monitoring your plans to attack peaceful processions, terrorize the relatives of certain arbitrarily detained revolutionaries from resistance committees and political detainees and send threats to them via social media sites and phone calls from unknown numbers in order to silence them from demanding their release. In this regard, we would like to draw your attention to the following:

This coup authority will inevitably fall sooner or later, but all of your past and new activities will be used against you as proof and evidence, and you will pay the price fully and swiftly.

Your claim is that the solution is in the elections. This is a discourse that you do not have the ability to defend, and that will only happen with the fall of this coup and the dismantling of the defunct June 30, 1989 regime.

We follow and monitor your movements within government and public institutions, as well as your plans to retaliate against the honorable employees who supported the revolution and change. These moves will be met with a very strong and decisive response, which you will learn about in due course.

3. We will continue in all our peaceful steps and you will have no place to be. You should know that we are monitoring all documents and records that incriminate employees of the dissolved National Congress regime in security and military agencies and government departments following the October 25 coup, as well as their security plans to suppress peaceful revolutionaries and sniping operations, w ith the names of the joint forces, particularly police officers and soldiers, the Central Reserve, the Federal Investigation Service, and General Intelligence, who commit acts of violence, killing, and shooting, we warn you that you will soon be in the cages of the courts alongside the killers of the honorable December Revolution martyrs, and that we will not only have retribution, but that the trials will be accelerated immediately.

Sudan: Sudanese Communist Party – Public Statement (16.04.2022)

No to the settlement aimed at liquidating the revolution.

The widest mass rise to stop the settlement and continue the revolution.

The forces of soft landing and their allies from the Security Committee and some are still the regional and international powers are continuing their plans that aim to block the path to the revolution and ultimately liquidate it, and it is a continuation of old plans that emerged in the last days of the ousted Bashir regime, within the framework of what was known as the Al-Wathba Dialogue, in which the forces of soft landing participated. Who agreed to participate in the 2020 elections, but was surprised by the outbreak of the revolution in December 2018.

She was forced to join the revolution and sign its covenants, but she repudiated these pacts early on, when she signed the partnership with the Transitional Military Council under the constitutional document that established the hegemony of the military. On the joints of power and participated in the government of Abdullah Hamdok, and agreed to be a false civilian front for the rule of the military.

After the October 25 coup, these forces continued to cooperate with the military, and some of them agreed to refer to the constitutional document and the situation prior to October 25 based on the political agreement. The agreement between Al-Burhan and Hamdok on November 21, 2021, which was rejected by the Sudanese people.

After the coup, it continued to seek the assistance of regional and international powers to help it return to partnership with the military, and these understandings resulted in efforts for a settlement that is now being cooked up behind the back of the Sudanese people.

The features of the settlement that leaked revolve around what was suggested from the Cairo meeting of the federalist origin with the federalists who were participants in the rescue regime, and what the Communist Party delegation heard from the tripartite mechanism composed of the United Nations mission led by Mr. Fockler and the African Union led by Dalbat and the head of the IGAD mission, Ambassador Ismail Wais, focused on the purpose of the meeting that brings together all political forces without exception, and that the aim of this meeting is to reach a national consensus to discuss constitutional arrangements, define criteria for choosing the prime minister and government and hold elections.

Defining the duties of the Sovereignty Council and the military, and developments in the past two days confirmed that the arrangements for the settlement have gone a long way, with evidence that one of the requirements that came up in the meeting of the mechanism is to prepare the political climate for the upcoming meeting, and it was mentioned in the last speech of Lieutenant-General Al-Burhan which emphasized preparing the atmosphere for settlement, and came in the press conference of the Forces for Freedom and Change, which confirmed the same hadith of proof to create the atmosphere that does not meet the demands of the street and the revolution.

What links the forces of soft landing and the military component are the class and economic interests represented in plundering the country’s wealth, as is happening now through smuggling gold, gum arabic, livestock, etc…. and compromising national sovereignty by perpetuating dependence on the outside, which depends on it for its survival in power.

The settlement allows for elections to be held under the circumstances of the domination of the military and their civilian allies over the joints of state institutions. With the help of regional and international external powers that are betting on the military establishment and the forces of soft landing to take care of their interests, so these forces plan to hold these elections to allow them to return to positions of power, so it is certain that large-scale fraud will occur in the presence of armies and tribal militias it includes huge numbers of foreigners, who obtained the national number and Sudanese citizenship and occupied the lands of the displaced and refugees. This is on the one hand, and on the other hand, the Juba Agreement, rejected by the masses, states that the armies of the movements that signed the agreement are entitled to retain with its arms for a period of 40 months from the date of signing, the forces that will be under the command of the leaders of the armed movements.

As stated by the joint mechanism, no organization or political party has the right to object to the participation of all political forces and organizations.

The Communist Party clearly refuses the participation of parties and parties rejected by the Sudanese people and revolted against them, including the National Congress and those who participated with it until the outbreak of the revolution, and also rejects the lack of clear and explicit criteria that define the nature and programs of these forces hostile to the goals of the revolution and international conventions, in addition to the issues contained in the program of the mechanism Common issues are at the core of the Constitutional Convention’s mission.

 

In addition, the settlement program is devoid of any reference to the necessity of applying justice, stopping violations, and bringing to justice those involved in the genocide in Darfur and crimes against humanity, as in the massacre of the sit-in dispersal, the massacres after the October 25 coup and the dismantling of empowerment, recovery of looted funds, dissolution of militias, Janjaweed, and armies of movements, establishment of a unified national army, incorporation of army, Janjaweed, security and police companies to the mandate of the Ministry of Finance and other tasks of the transitional period at the end of which free and fair elections are held.

The initiative of the mechanism also lacks the required credibility when it indicated that those gathered in the upcoming meeting are the ones who will resolve the outstanding issues related to the current political crisis, as they are not authorized by the people and cannot claim that they are the true representatives of the people.

We in the party affirm that the proposed settlement will exacerbate the complexities of the crisis in the country. Therefore, the Communist Party appeals to the masses of the Sudanese people and the living forces in all cities and regions of Sudan to confront by all peaceful means to defeat this scheme aimed at liquidating the revolution and perpetuating dictatorship, dependency and neglect In national sovereignty, ignoring the sacrifices of the Sudanese people, the souls of the martyrs, the wounded and the missing, the suffering of the survivors of the genocide and the victims of wars and various violations.

Sudan: Khartoum 3 Resistance Committees – The Initiative of The Revolutionary Front to Solve the Sudanese Crisis… Sudan first (15.04.2022)

Our people resisting the coup:

We followed the Revolutionary Front’s launching of what it called an initiative (the initiative of the Revolutionary Front to solve the Sudanese crisis… Sudan first).

This description of the Revolutionary Front, in our opinion, is inaccurate and incorrect, and it is a complete transgression and disregards what happened, which is the coup of October 25, 2021, which resulted from an alliance between the coup authorities, led by the head of the Coup Sovereignty Council, Abdel Fattah Al-Burhan, and he made a two-and-a-half-year political deal. It concluded with the restoration of the deposed regime, the ousted Islamic movement, and the dissolved National Congress Party, as well as the revocation of the provisions and articles of the law aimed at dismantling the regime of June 30, 1989, and recovering public funds, and returned all looted assets to them.

The initiative of the Revolutionary Front, which we reviewed some of its articles, called for allocating 100 seats in the Legislative Council to resistance committees, with 15 representatives from the state of Khartoum and five representatives from each state, and each party receiving one seat, the Sudanese Professionals Association receiving two seats, and armed movements receiving 25%. It is merely a bargaining position, rather than a crisis-resolution initiative, as the Revolutionary Front has described it. This is an example of the mentality and thinking of the leaders of the armed movements on the issues of the democratic transition and the overthrow of the revolution, bearing in mind that the pre-coup constitutional document had established a framework that granted the Revolutionary Front and its armed movements a good political status. Nonetheless, it backed the coup against the transitional government and the revolution, as well as taking positions in favor of the coup authorities and upholding its stances, making it an obvious and clear participant in the coup.

Our brave people:

The Revolutionary Front’s position and presence in the coup authority, as well as its retention of all the privileges of the Juba Peace Agreement, which was included in the 2019 constitutional document in November 2020, do not qualify it to launch a political initiative that does not include the conditions and demands of the Sudanese people who reject the coup, because it is a partner in the current government and its forces have been involved in arresting, killing, and running over peaceful revolutionaries for last six months.

This initiative is rejected by us because it does not reflect the aspirations of the Sudanese people who reject the coup, but rather is a negotiating position and an attempt by the Revolutionary Front to remain relevant because they know the coup’s downfall is imminent, which will necessitate reconsidering the Juba Peace Agreement, which did not benefit the sons and daughters of our great people in Darfur, eastern, northern, or central Sudan. However, the signatories of this agreement benefited politically and socially the benefit of a small group of the affiliates of their movements.

Sudan: Khartoum State Resistance Committees Coordination – Joint press statement (13.04.2022)

In response to the invitation made, a number of Khartoum State Resistance Committees’ coordination with the offices of the US Congress held a session to discuss the political current and determine the role of the international community in supporting the democratic transition.

After welcoming the audience, the resistance committees reviewed the various contexts in eastern Sudan, Darfur and Khartoum, and clarified its position rejecting the military coup, with an emphasis on continuing the movement and peaceful resistance to overthrow the coup.

The meeting also discussed the slogan of the three nos (no negotiation, no partnership, no legitimacy) and the representatives explained the reasons for the loss of confidence in the putschists and the leaders of the military establishment and their permanent violation of covenants and covenants, and that the Sudanese people call for a military institution that respects its mandate limited to protecting the constitution and borders, and that the entire authority is handed over to civilians.

The meeting stressed the importance of transitional justice and activating the principle of accountability for crimes and the impunity in the massacres committed in various parts of Sudan by the Military Council, the attendees stressed that any (an initiative proposed to resolve the Sudanese crisis, must reflect the position of the Sudanese people represented by the three no’s), and not to return to partnership with the military in addition to the visions presented in the written charters of the resistance committees.

Accordingly, we, in the resistance committees, affirm that our battle is still ongoing, and that we will not postpone this battle. “We were destined to be the generation that has the responsibility to end military coups once and for all.”

Sudan: The Unified Office of Sudan Doctors – Urgent (06.04.2022)

The forces of the military coup have stormed Al-Jawdah Hospital earlier today and fired tear gas inside the clinical areas! We condemn this act that terrified patients and medical staff and has led to a number of them suffocating.

This blatant infringement by the coup authority on the hospital is a continuation of a series of attacks on health facilities since the 25th October coup d’etat and is a clear violation of the rights of patients and injured.

The Unified Office of Doctors assures that such actions will not discourage our people’s determination to win and will not prevent medical personnel from carrying out their duties in treating the sick, wounded, and injured.

The office also affirms that it will make every effort to expose the violations committed by the coup forces and that it will carry on organizing the doctors’ movement so as to continue their resistance to the brutal dictatorial military regime until it’s brought to an end and a civil democratic Sudan is established, where respect for human rights prevails.

The Unified Office of Doctors appeals to all doctors to be present in field clinics and cover hospitals’ staff needs in order to treat the wounded and injured.

Sudan: Sudanese Congress Party – Statement (31.03.2022)

Our brave people;

In an escalating continuation of the peaceful mass movement resisting the fateful coup of the twenty-fifth of October 2021 AD, roaring processions took place on Thursday, March 31, 2022 AD in the capital and the regions, as usual, the brutal coup authorities faced it with excessive repression through tear gas bombs, live bullets, and arrests that affected even doctors and health personnel while performing their professional duty in some hospitals after storming them.

Dozens of honorable female revolutionaries were injured. We send invitations to them to heal and recover.

On the other hand, as a result of the coup authority’s failure to fulfill its duty to provide security, the unfortunate violent incidents took place in the Kassala Rural Locality on Wednesday, March 30, 2022 AD, a number of dead and wounded, as a result of which many houses were burned, and many families were displaced.

Our victorious people;

We in the Sudanese Congress Party see that the coup authority is pushing the country into the abyss at an accelerating pace, in light of the growing manifestations of security chaos, economic collapse and the overwhelming popular rejection throughout our steadfast land, which are the seeds of its annihilation that it has carried in its hollow since the dawn of the coup, in addition to the completion of the pillars of the process of apostasy from the gains of the glorious December revolution, by returning the members of the defunct rescue regime who were separated by the order of the Empowerment Removal Committee – dissolved by the coup order – to the joints of the state, and retracting its decisions related to the recovery of public funds, after the members of the dissolved committee were arbitrarily arrested according to malicious reports.

We in the Sudanese Congress Party renew our call to all the revolutionary forces to expedite the coordination of their efforts to resist the coup across a broad front with a united leadership. Considering that this is the decisive condition for the overthrow of this criminal revolutionary authority and the restoration of the path of civil democratic transformation under a full civilian leadership.

Long live our people free and victorious
