Quote: Date: June 27, 2013 Press Release Issued by: The Steering Committee National Campaign To End The Regime Khartoum, Sudan Sudanese Opposition Plans a Peaceful Civil Movement to Topple the Islamist Regime Sudan's opposition movement in diaspora and at home call for mass protests on Sunday July 30 to topple the Islamist regime of General Omar Hassan al-Bashir. The Sudanese opposition calls for a peaceful civil movement starting on the 30th of June and continue until the downfall of the regime. The movement aims to create the possibility of the overthrow of the regime and the establishment of a democratic system in its place. The Sudanese campaign for the overthrow of the regime is organized by Sudanese in diaspora and endorsed by the National Consensus Forces (NCF), an umbrella of opposition parties, youth, women organizations, democracy advocates and national figures, together with the Sudan Revolutionary Front (SRF) which includes all armed groups battling the regimes for the last decade. The Sunday mass protest, in remembrance of the 24th anniversary of the fateful Islamist coup, aims at turning the Sudan and certain places in diaspora into gathering places for a protest movement. This includes holding demonstrations outside Sudanese embassies worldwide and holding rallies and street protests in the Sudan and different parts of the world to coincide with the NCF 100-day plan for a peaceful overthrow of the regime. The Islamist regime of General Omar al-Bashir has brought the Sudan to the brink of an abyss. Over the last quarter of a century, al-Bashir’s totalitarian rule, through its brazen brutality, has turned large areas of the Sudan into a scene of armed conflicts and has led to a human disaster that has turned the entire country and its population into a breeding ground of different forms of violence. Millions of Sudanese citizens were subjected to torture, displacement, and death; civilians are being subjected to untold sufferings and death, too. The Darfur region in particular has been plagued by a host of epidemic diseases. Pro-government militias and units of the Chadian army are wreaking havoc under the watch of the Sudanese army. In Southern Kordofan, the government’s indiscriminate airstrikes and disruption of food and medical supplies continue to claim a high toll of casualties among non-combatants. Al-Bashir was the first sitting head of state to be indicted by the International Criminal Court, accused of genocide, crimes against humanity, and war crimes in Darfur in particular. Not only that, but the Islamists in the Sudan enacted violent policies in the South that widened the gap between the two parts of the country and forced secession of the South. The Sudanese who are experienced and successful in leading peaceful uprisings and civil disobedience movements against dictatorial rule like they did in 1964 and again in 1985, are looking forward to doing it for a third time to compel al-Bashir to step down and to liberate themselves from tyranny and totalitarianism.
