Only those with an agenda call the war in Sudan a civil war because this war is about foreign interlopers who are trying to gain control through warring proxies, namely the UAE arming and funding the RSF terrorist group. However, the SAF is not free from committing atrocities against their own civilians which is abhorrent and unacceptable for them to remain in power. Many organizations are pushing for both the RSF and SAF to allow a civilian-run transitional government to take over until elections can be held. Neither the RSF or SAF should have any control of Sudan with both committing war crimes against millions of Sudanese civilians. No peace has been achieved or negotiations amounted to anything meaningful between the SAF and RSF, and it’s been almost one year of active war.
80% of healthcare facilities are inoperable
220,000 children are at risk of dying of malnutrition
5 million Sudanese might suffer from catastrophic hunger and are currently acutely malnourished
The World Food Programme is running out of funding for Sudan. There will be no aid available from the WFP in Chad where many Sudanese refugees have fled to find safety, but there is no food for 1.1 million people who have been forcibly displaced from their homes in Sudan.
Aid warehouses and convoys are often attacked by the RSF or other armed groups. In many places, there are no clear leaders.
The RSF have arrested aid workers that are providing food to starving Sudanese, while the SAF has blocked delivery of needed food and aid into or across Sudan and killed 2 aid workers.
What Sudan needs is for the Sudanese people to be in control of their own government and for countries to offer funding for desperately needed aid. It’s tricky to appoint a transitionary government so the best option is for outright elections, but because the situation is so dire in Sudan, a temporary government might be the best call. It is really up to what the Sudanese want and if they are accepting of a civilian-run council to run the country until formal elections be called and peace formalized. Another tricky thing is that these elections cannot be coerced, forced, or tampered with which is going to be an issue because both the RSF and SAF clearly want complete control of Sudan.
The main issue is that there are two warring parties that are not seeking peace but brutal control of Sudan. To get both of the SAF and RSF into peace talks, we need world leaders to sanction and embargo both groups and their arms suppliers. The UAE arms the RSF. China, Iran, Belarus, are some of the SAF’s arms suppliers. Cut off their access to arms and this war will end.
It is disheartening that no world leaders have heavily sanctioned both the SAF and RSF. There are sanctions, but these sanction have not been effective.
It is disgusting that there are no arms embargoes for the SAF and RSF.
The inaction from world leaders leads one to believe that they find the starvation of millions of Sudanese acceptable along with the complete destruction of Sudan.
Please donate to the WFP.
Contact your elected official and demand your country offer support to Sudan.
This inaction from our leader in response to such horrific violence and devastation is one reason that it is imperative we vote them all out of office and vote people with a new perspective. Vote for people who advocate for change and their goal is for progress. The people we have in power (throughout the world) do not care about the deaths of millions of innocent people. That is a huge problem. They are not safe to remain in power. We have to push for peace in Sudan, offer aid, and vote these officials out who did nothing in response for Sudan.
From the river to the sea, may the whole world be free.
