Sudan: Civil Front to stop war and Restore The Democracy – Important Statement (29.04.2023)

The Civil Front for Stopping War and Restoring Democracy is continuing the clashes and exchanges of fire with light and heavy weapons between the Armed Forces and the Rapid Support Forces, despite the two parties’ declaration of a 72-hour truce. residential. The exchange of fire and fighting within neighborhoods endangers the lives of thousands of civilians, in addition to the lack of necessary medical services, the suspension of dozens of hospitals and health centers, the inability to provide services, the interruption of water and electricity supplies in different areas, and the emergence of a large food gap. Risks are increasing as a result of the war with insecurity, the increase in security and humanitarian threats, and the spread of crime, including looting and looting of homes, citizens, shops, factories, and banks, which requires that work be done to stop the war immediately, provide humanitarian relief, and ensure the safety of civilians and mitigate the effects of the ongoing fighting without stopping…

The Civil Front for Stopping War and Restoring Democracy believes that naming the armed forces and the Rapid Support Forces for its representatives to discuss ways to open fire and stop armed clashes is a step, but in practice it needs real guarantees from both sides to stop hostilities and stop the expansion of its circle.

The Civil Front for Stopping War and Restoring Democracy considers the directed media discourse that criminalizes and betrays the peaceful civil, political and societal forces seeking democracy and peace in a misleading manner, which is a dangerous indicator and is one of the main causes of the ongoing war, by feeding hate speech and the continuous targeting of the forces of the glorious December revolution, which It seeks to achieve democratic transition and civil transformation through civil and peaceful mechanisms.

This speech, which carries declared threats to close public and political life, and to promote totalitarian thought, expresses policies and ideas that the Sudanese people overthrew in a great peaceful revolution. Freedom, peace, and justice are rights that have been extracted through a long, civil and peaceful struggle over decades, and they cannot be waived. We have followed, with regret, the escalation of events in the city of El Geneina, in the state of West Darfur, and the repeated attacks by armed groups against unarmed civilians, which led to hundreds of casualties and injuries among the civilian population, and deliberate sabotage of vital institutions and sectors, especially hospitals, and we are fully aware that these events are a direct result of the ongoing war. and hate speech. The effects of this ongoing war, if not remedied, will lead to the outbreak of civil conflicts, leading to the rupture of the social fabric, and leading to civil war and comprehensive security chaos.

The Civil Front for Stopping War and Restoring Democracy calls on all Sudanese men and women to line up and unify efforts and positions to stop war and civil conflicts and to work continuously on that. It also calls on them to engage in providing humanitarian aid and supporting popular initiatives organized throughout the country in support of all those affected by the war.

Sudan: Sudanese Journalists Syndicate – Statement (28.04.2023).

The Sudanese Journalists Syndicate monitored some inciting speeches from military officials and citizens against journalists and correspondents of satellite channels circulating on the Internet.

The Syndicate points out that this incitement is contrary to the laws, ethics, and customs agreed upon regarding the protection of journalists. The Sudanese Journalists Syndicate takes incitement against female and male journalists, especially from the military, seriously, and holds them fully responsible in the event that female and male journalists are subjected to any attack.

Investing in the reactions of some citizens with speeches of incitement against journalists is a very dangerous matter in the inflamed situations as a result of the ongoing war, and the Syndicate will stand against it with all strength and firmness.

It hopes that both sides of the war, as well as civilians, will not harm journalists or incite them against them while they carry out their mission.

Sudan: Preliminary Committee of Sudan Doctors’ Trade Union – The fetus is bleeding (27.04.2023)

Innocent bloodshed continues in West Darfur, following the renewed violent clashes in the city of El Geneina, which was covered in black for the third day in a row. The clashes included large parts of the city, forcing residents to leave their homes.

Where the attacking forces burned the shelters in the city of El-Geneina and looted the El-Geneina Teaching Hospital, amid widespread looting and burning operations that affected markets, government and health facilities, the headquarters of voluntary and international organizations, and banks.

The bloody events are still going on in the city of El Geneina, leaving dozens of dead and wounded we were unable to accurately count them due to the tense security situation and the continued attacks on civilians.

The massacre of the city of El Geneina brings to mind all the crimes against humanity, war crimes, and violations that the camps of the displaced and the neighborhoods of the city of El Geneina are exposed to on an ongoing basis, and the absence of justice is the main cause of the multiplicity in the armies and the spread of militias.

Armed forces and the continued failure of military governments to protect civilians, which led to the systematic killing of people in western Sudan, we appeal to all organizations working in the field of human rights to discuss the international community in order to pressure to stop war crimes and crimes against humanity and genocide in Darfur, the Nuba Mountains and the Blue Nile.

We have mercy on the souls of the martyrs and condolences to their families, colleagues, friends, and ourselves, for the loss is one, the blood is one, and the tragedy is the tragedy of a homeland.

Sudan: The Forces for Freedom and Change (FFC) – An important statement “On the release of criminals from the defunct regime of rescue from prisons and their role in the ongoing war” (26.04.2023)

The leader of the dissolved National Congress Party and wanted by the International Criminal Court, Ahmed Haroun, appeared to the Sudanese people yesterday evening with a recorded audio statement on behalf of the criminals of the rescue regime who were arrested in Kober Prison after their release from prison, that statement confirmed the facts that we have been repeating in the forces of freedom and change recently that the exterminated regime and its dissolved party and through their elements within the armed forces and the regular forces. They are the ones behind the war that has been going on since the morning of Saturday, April 15, with the aim of the corrupt, tyrannical junta returning to power again in any way.

The envelope of the message of the leaders of the exterminated regime is clear from its title that they chose the wanted person for the International Criminal Court because of the war crimes and genocide in Darfur, and therefore their presence in the scene of events and their release from prison at this time as a group practiced by the most heinous crimes and wars.

Dividing the country and killing and displacing millions of its people means increasing the ignition of war, and this was explained in their speech with their clear intention to further ignite and expand sedition, which is not surprising from a regime that is accustomed to killing its people for war crimes, genocide and crimes against humanity.

This war, which was ignited and gained by the defunct regime, will lead the country to collapse and will not achieve any of the main issues that the civil and military parties sought to solve through the political process, foremost of which is the issue of security and military reform.

Which ends the multiplicity of armies and leads to a single professional and national army. We appeal to the masses of our people to close ranks to confront the plans of the evil remnants that have unfolded now more than ever after they threaten our country with rupture and destroy its security, sovereignty and unity.

Sudan: Preliminary Committee of Sudan Doctors’ Trade Union – The house is bleeding (24.04.2023)

The absurd war continues to bleed between the armed forces and the Rapid Support Forces, and before the blood of those who fell in the bloody El-Obeid massacre dried up, various neighborhoods of the capital, Khartoum, were demolished with heavy weapons today, Monday, April 24, leaving dozens of wounded and a number of dead.

We call on the international community and human rights organizations to put pressure on both sides of the armed conflict to stop the fighting immediately.

Providing safe passages for civilians, allowing the safe passage of ambulances and medical personnel, and providing the necessary insurance for health facilities and hospitals.

Sudan: Civilian Forces Signatories to the Framework Agreement – Press Statement (24.04.2023)

The civil forces that signed the framework agreement welcome the extension of the armistice for 72 hours after estimated efforts from United States of America and continuous communication with us in the civil forces that signed the framework agreement and the leadership of the armed forces and rapid support, provided that this armistice witnesses discussions to reach a comprehensive agreement for a permanent cease-fire that paves the way for a peaceful solution that ends this damned war.

We appreciate the effort made by the government of the United States of America, and we commend the leadership of the Sudanese Armed Forces and the Rapid Support Forces for their response to this initiative, and we encourage them to adhere to this armistice and refrain from any hostile actions.

We call on them to facilitate access to hospitals and basic services for people who have been ravaged by war and whose suffering and pain have increased. In the same context, we look with great appreciation for the national initiatives that work to stop the war and address its effects, and we affirm that we will do our best to coordinate between the widest base of civil forces.

In order to expedite an end to this war, save our country from destruction and collapse, and restore the peaceful political track as a safer way to address our main national issues.

The civil forces that signed the framework agreement
