A number of political, professional, and revolutionary parties, entities, and figures stressed the need to stop the war, establish a democratic civilian government, and restore the goals of the Sudanese revolution. They affirmed that there totalitarianism and tyranny wouldn’t be imposed again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In a joint statement marking the anniversary of (June 30th, 1989), the political and professional entities and figures shared that this date is associated in the people’s conscience with the ominous coup that overthrew a democratically elected government and plunged the country into a dark tunnel that has spanned three decades of repression and tyranny.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“This disastrous project has produced an authoritarian regime based on dismantling the State in favor of militias, sowing discord, persecuting political forces, and reproducing tools of oppression under new banners. This has led us, without hesitation, to the hell of the ongoing war,” according to the signatories’ statement. They believe that this reality isn’t a matter of fate, but rather a direct result of the Islamists’ jurisprudence and their aggressive practices against the nation and its citizens, in the name of both religion and State.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The signatories addressed the civil forces with an urgent appeal to assume their historical and moral responsibility and fulfill their duty to ensure the unity of Sudan, its land and people, to stop the war, end the suffering of the Sudanese people, and to achieve a comprehensive, lasting, just, and sustainable peace, while protecting civilians, confronting the humanitarian catastrophe, and criminalizing the grave violations committed against the Sudanese nationals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The signatories emphasized the need to combat hate speech and racism, isolate advocates of war and totalitarianism, achieve justice and redress for victims, build a social contract based on equal citizenship, and agree to govern the country with a federal, democratic, constitutional, and civilian government to which all public, civil and military institutions are subject.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In their statement, the signatories reiterated their respect for the existing political alliances and entities, for civil, professional, and trade union groups, as well as youth and women’s groups seeking to stop the war and restore the civil democratic process. They urged all the aforementioned to intensify communications, dialogue, and coordination amongst them, in an effort to build a unified and effective civil center, independent of the warring parties, putting forth diligent efforts to end the war and adopt a peaceful political solution. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
They noted that patience with democracy, with its challenges, is a thousand times better than recycling totalitarianism or coexisting with those who bear arms against the people.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
