Sudan: Forces of Freedom and Change – Executive Office – Statement on the resignation of Prime Minister Dr. Abdullah Hamdok (03.01.2022)

Prime Minister Dr. Abdullah Hamdok announced his resignation from his position as Prime Minister through a speech addressed to the Sudanese people yesterday evening, Sunday, January 2, 2022. This resignation came as a direct result of the coup, and this is the essence of its cause, which cannot be overlooked.

The resignation of the Prime Minister marked the end of the November 21, 2021 agreement, which we in the Forces for Freedom and Change have repeatedly expressed our rejection of and that it is a legitimation of the coup Najla’s stab was directed at the mass movement at the time of its rise to defeat the coup, and this resignation confirmed that the people’s will prevails and cannot be exceeded or its priorities are ignored.

We affirm in the Forces of Freedom and Change that the train of revolution is on and that the coup will be defeated by the determination and unyielding will of our people and by its unbreakable pacifism in the face of the brutality of the coup regime.

finally

We extend our thanks to Dr. Abdullah Hamdouk for accepting the assignment to head the government of the revolution, and we renew our call to the forces of freedom and change to build the broadest front to defeat the coup. The forces of the revolution participate in it jointly, and they are governed by coordination through a unified center directed to accomplish these tasks and complete the tasks of the December revolution.

Sudan: The revolution will continue without Hamdok

Whoever believed in Hamdok, Hamdok is gone, and whoever believed in the revolution, the revolution is alive and does not die” (Resistance Committee, 02.01.2022).

The timing of the resignation of Prime Minister Abdalla Hamdok is too late and with the Political (Declaration) Agreement of 21st November 2021, which ended his special place and role in Sudanese politics. As the Prime Minister accepted the fate and sold his integrity to the army commanders of the Transitional Sovereign Council, which did the second coup d’etat on the 25th October 2020. Therefore, the resignation on the 2nd January does little to nothing now.

Hamdok came in as one of the technocrats from the Forces for Freedom and Change (FFC) in 2019. He was one of them, but the possible power and his office became to important. That’s why he traded his integrity and morality for a second short stint in office. Which he would be the puppet and the face of the Sovereign Council to the world. That is now gone and not shockingly. Since, there been talks of his resignation from around 21st December 2021. This has been in the works for about two weeks now.

The FFC and Sudanese Professionals Association (SPA) have not abandoned the revolution or the ideals. As the Resistance Councils doesn’t need or see the value of Hamdok. It is the International Community and the donors of the Sudanese government who does. They have lost the “civilian” face of the transitional government. That is the reality here… and Hamdok went away from the FFC and SPA when he signed the declaration in November 2020.

Hamdok accepted the Transitional Military Council members of Al-Burhan and Hemeti. These men got the carrot and they could hit him with a stick. It is not like the army or the armed officers has been relenting their violence against civilians after the Political Agreement. No, they have continued to murder civilians on the streets and let people die for the democratic rights. Which, the army commanders don’t want to give them.

Al-Burhan and Hemeti must have felt victorious when they got that deal. As they have deliberately shunned and ensured the FFC not having a place in the Sovereign Council after the second coup. That is surely to stop the transition and the agreements of 2019, which is vastly different from what Hamdok agreed upon in November 2020. Therefore, the army commanders got the win for nothing.

Now, they have lost the face of government. The army commanders and the militia leaders who is now apart of the Sovereign Council isn’t representative of the general public. That’s why the Resistance Councils are able to coordinate and continue it’s demonstrations across the republic. While the harsh use of force, tear-gas and violence against citizens continues. There is no stop of bloodshed from the authorities, they are even going after people inside hospitals and using all tools to suppress the public.

I don’t see the Resistance Committees, FFC and SPA will need or see value in Hamdok. The ones doing that is the IC and the ones who believed in his reforms, which the army commanders doesn’t believe in. That is very clear and the current regime is as vicious and insincere as the Al-Bashir one. That is the henchmen of the previous one and they are not willing to buckle. However, we all know at one point the centre will not hold. Nevertheless, we don’t know when that is occurring… Peace.

Sudan: Unified Office of Physicians – Statement on the violations of January 2 (02.01.2021)

The revolutionary arsenal of repression continues its violations against peaceful demonstrators by committing a new massacre today, as two martyrs died in Omdurman, one of whom was wounded by direct bullets in the chest and another martyr with a direct hit to the head that led to a laceration. Skull and brain out (the type of weapon used in the injury will be known after the autopsy is completed).

There are also dozens of injured, who are now being counted. We note that cutting off the internet and communications and closing bridges has contributed to obstructing the ambulance and confinement of the injured.

The Unified Office of Physicians condemns this brutality and the blatant barbarism of the putschist forces, and appeals to the international community to follow up and record these flagrant violations of the brutal junta against the peaceful revolutionaries.

Sudan: The Unified Office of Sudanese Doctors – Statement (31.12.2021)

On the day of 30/12/21, Sudan’s Military Junta Forces committed serious acts of unwarranted violence against peaceful civilians.

The Military Junta imposed a communications blackout, restricting access to the internet, telecommunications and main roads. This enabled security forces to act with violence, unimpeded, and commit atrocities against unarmed civilians. The recorded use of live ammunition, direct shots of tear gas and other weapons to inflict blunt force trauma have been observed. At the time of writing, 6 civilians have been killed, and over 150 injured on this day alone.

It has been reported that General Abdul Fattah Al-Burhan issued an emergency decree granting security forces full immunity and the power to indiscriminately arrest and detain. As a result of this decree, major incidents have been observed violating Article 8(e)(i) of the Geneva Convention of 1948. (Intentionally directing attacks against the civilian population as such or against individual civilians not taking direct part in hostilities). The incidents in question will be designated I, II, III and IV and elaborated upon below.

Incident I involved security forces intercepting an ambulance carrying a protester wounded by live ammunition from Al-Arbaeen hospital to Omdurman Hospital. Witnesses report that armed forces hijacked the ambulance and arrested those inside, including the ambulance staff and wounded man.

Incident II involved forced entry into Accident and Emergency departments of two separate hospitals, and the use of tear gas to disperse civilians and hospital staff inside. Reports show that 4 protesters were arrested this way in the East Nile Region.

Incident III involved the use of violence at the Al-Arabiya news outlet offices, in which sound bombs were launched inside, targeting working journalists. During this incident, one member of the crew was injured in the stomach by a close-range explosive.

Incident IV occurred when a funeral procession was disrupted in Omdurman by security forces using tear gas to disperse and incapacitate mourners. This attack interrupted the bereaved for no clear aim, violating the deceased’s dignity after death.

We call for the immediate cessation of violence and hostility towards civilians. Moreover, every action possible must be taken to bring those responsible to justice.

Sudan: Food looted in Darfur, 730,000 people left without (30.12.2021)

A World Food Programme (WFP) warehouse located in the Borsa area of El Fasher town, the capital of North Darfur State, came under attack from unknown armed groups.

NEW YORK, United States of America, December 30, 2021 – The UN chief condemned on Wednesday the looting and attacks against United Nations facilities, equipment and supplies gifted to the Sudanese authorities for civilian in El Fasher, Darfur. 

Last Tuesday evening, a World Food Programme (WFPwarehouse located in the Borsa area of El Fasher town, the capital of North Darfur State, came under attack from unknown armed groups.

Over 1,900 metric tons of food commodities that were meant to feed 730,000 vulnerable people for a month were stolen.

The incident followed the looting and reported violence last week at the former UN-African Union Hybrid Operation (UNAMID) base in El Fasher.

Restore order 

In his statementSecretary-General António Guterres called upon the Government of Sudan to restore order.

He stressed that the authorities must ensure that former UNAMID property and assets are strictly used for civilians – in conformity with the Framework Agreement the Government signed in March.

The UN chief also asked the Sudanese authorities to facilitate the safe working environment and passage for remaining UN operations in the region.

He concluded by thanking the UN civilian and uniformed personnel who remain on the ground under “challenging” circumstances.

Humanitarian crisis 

The Humanitarian Coordinator in Sudan, Khardiata Lo N’diaye, also condemned the looting.

“This was food assistance meant for Sudan’s most vulnerable people. Humanitarian assistance should never be a target”, she underscored.

Currently, one in three people in Sudan needs humanitarian assistance – equivalent to an estimated 14.3 million individuals.

According to the 2022 Humanitarian Response Plan, 25 per cent of those people require food security and livelihoods support.

An attack like this, the coordinator explained, severely impedes the ability to deliver to the people who need it the most.

“We urgently ask all parties to adhere to humanitarian principles and allow the safe delivery of life-saving assistance”, Ms. N’diaye stated.

WFP currently faces “unprecedented” funding shortfalls, estimated at $358 million.

Violence 

Earlier in the month, thousands of people took to the streets to mark the third anniversary of the uprising that led to the April 2019 overthrow of President Omar al-Bashir, who had ruled for three decades.

Demonstrators who made for the presidential palace were also protesting October’s military coup and the political agreement signed later on 21 November.

UN officials and agencies expressed deep concern at the time over credible reports of serious human rights violations, including the use of rape and gang rape of women and girls, employed to disperse protesters.

As of 29 December, the security situation had been restored, according to State authorities.

Ms. N’diaye thanked the local authorities for preventing the situation from worsening but called upon the Government to step up efforts to protect and safeguard humanitarian premises and assets.
