Statement Sudan’s Resistance Committees and the forces that signed the Revolutionary Charter to establish the People’s Authority
Sudan is witnessing a new wave of grave crimes and violations being carried out by the terrorist Rapid Support Forces (“Janjaweed”) militia and the Founding Sudan Alliance (“Tasis”) allied with them, against citizens and defenseless civilians scorched by the hell of war in the states of Darfur — in the city of Al-Fashir and its outskirts — in Bara and in various areas of the Kordofan region.
Terrorizing actions against civilians have also continued using unmanned drones in the states of Sennar, Blue Nile, White Nile and Khartoum, targeting service facilities and infrastructure such as energy, water and transport sources, as well as markets, places of worship and vital installations.
We, in the Sudan Resistance Committees and the forces signatory to the Revolutionary Charter to establish the People’s Authority, while we pray for the souls of the victims of the brutal Al-Fashir massacre and the Bara massacre, and for our comrades in the Coordination of Al-Fashir Resistance Committees — may they all rest in peace — hold the Rapid Support Forces (“Janjaweed”) militia and their allies in the Tasis alliance, in addition to the local, regional and international forces supporting them, foremost among them the United Arab Emirates, fully responsible for these massacres, violations, killings, looting and all war crimes and crimes against humanity that amount to genocide. These constitute a blatant assault on human values, on international humanitarian law, and on the rights of the Sudanese people. We also hold the army leadership and the security committee of the previous regime responsible for shirking their duty to protect defenceless citizens and leaving them to face their fate alone in the face of the Janjaweed militia’s brutality — through a policy of mobilisation, escalating the level of warfare, insisting on continuing and prolonging it, then withdrawing from military garrisons, severing their supply lines and involving civilians in paying the price of these stances — behaviour that has become almost constant and ongoing.
We renew, in the Sudan Resistance Committees and the forces signatory to the Revolutionary Charter to establish the People’s Authority, our call to all civilian forces and armed struggle forces allied with or politically aligned with the Rapid Support Forces to take their hands off the bloody militia. Let the horror of the massacre committed against the sons and daughters of our people in Al-Fashir be the final space for the awakening of national conscience, self-review and self-criticism before the memory and conscience of our people who do not forget and will not forgive. Let them work with the rest of the national forces to unite efforts behind our position announced since October 2023 calling for the classification of the Rapid Support Forces as a terrorist militia — a position we have persistently appealed to the United Nations, international and regional organisations, and the free peoples and states of the world to adopt — a position that the successive massacres carried out by the Rapid Support Forces continue to confirm every single day.
We also renew our appeal to our comrades in the resistance committees, trade unions, political forces, vital revolutionary forces and national forces in all cities, towns and neighborhoods to unify positions and efforts in the broadest grassroots popular front to defeat the war machine and its backers, and to work through it to shoulder our national and humanitarian responsibility toward defenseless civilians by moving and pressing urgently to provide protection and relief, and to ensure their safety and dignity. We condemn all forms of silence or collusion with the instruments and promoters of this war — for this war targets both the citizen and the revolution, and aims to destroy state capacities, fragment it, plunder its resources, obstruct the path of liberation and change in Sudan, and abort the people’s aspirations for a civilian democratic state.
While we affirm our categorical rejection of legitimising militias, and of the spread of weapons and violence — a rejection that stems from the fundamental right of the Sudanese people to live in safety without being forced to accept internal or external choices or agendas — we call on the free peoples and nations of the world to pressure the regional and international community and to expose its shameful silence, and to demand that it take urgent measures that meet the demands and interests of the Sudanese people: to stop the crimes and violations, to put an end to the humanitarian catastrophe, and to guarantee the delivery of assistance.
We also call on our people to be alert to what is being plotted against the unity of the country and the social fabric that binds it, its present and its future, and to confront external schemes that seek to drive Sudan into a new phase of colonial control by fuelling the war to seize the country’s resources, divide it and constrain its people’s will for freedom, development and stability.
Therefore, we in the Sudan Resistance Committees and the forces signatory to the Revolutionary Charter to establish the People’s Authority issue an urgent appeal to all sons and daughters of the Sudanese people inside and outside Sudan to recall the legacy of the General Command sit-in and peaceful mass democratic action by immediately organising the largest popular convoy to protect civilians in Al-Fashir and to deliver humanitarian aid by all available means; to coordinate to secure their lives and help them overcome the effects of this unjust war; and to impose the choice and decision of the people and wrest their authority.
We in the Sudan Resistance Committees and the forces signatory to the Revolutionary Charter to establish the People’s Authority affirm that the battle to protect civilians and defend the banners of the revolution and the unity and sovereignty of Sudan is the real battle, and that the unity of revolutionary and national forces is the proven path to end this bloody war, to restore the people’s course and to reclaim the revolution’s trajectory toward achieving its full aims and building a state of freedom, peace, justice and national sovereignty.
Glory to the martyrs.
Our heartfelt condolences and sympathy to the families of the victims, a return to the missing, a speedy recovery for the wounded, and victory to the will of the resistant Sudanese people.
Sudan Resistance Committees and the forces signatory to the Revolutionary Charter to establish the People’s Authority.
