ON MONDAY December 18 2023, when the commanding Sudan Armed Forces (SAF) general ordered his troops to leave Wad Madani, he surrendered the second largest Sudanese city to the advancing militias of the Rapid Support Forces (RSF).

Wad Madani had been a safe haven for hundreds of thousands of people previously displaced from Khartoum, the capital, as well as other cities and villages. However, knowing and having experienced the brutality of the RSF militias, a majority of those people began their second journey fleeing south and east out of the city. 

Since April 15 2023, the former allies and main supporters of the previous regime, led by Omar al-Bashir, have been engaged in a bitter and catastrophic war.  Both sides are accused of committing grave crimes, including ethnically motivated killing and detention, torture, and sexual violence.

  • To stop the war in Sudan through the gaining and representing of the majority of the population in international and regional fora. Following the attaining of a durable ceasefire, a civilian authority must be established to open and oversee safe corridors for the smooth handling of humanitarian aid to reach those in need as well as to help and facilitate the safe return of those forced to leave their houses, cities, and villages during the fighting.
  • To restore and support the role of the state in education and healthcare provision as well as the restoration of the various agencies of government.
  • To establish an independent judiciary and put all of those who have perpetrated crimes against the people to fair trials. To hand over al-Bashir and his clique to the International Criminal Court (ICC).
  • To draft a new constitution that defends and promotes democratic values.
  • To guarantee women’s representation at all levels, including parliament and government.
  • To achieve peace in all regions of the country.
  • To reconsider all agreements and treaties with other countries, as well as international and regional institutions, to defend and secure Sudan’s national sovereignty and control over the country’s natural resources.
