Thousands of the internally displaced people (IDPs) in camps in Darfur demonstrated peacefully for the second day against the election, demanding a change and calling Bashir to step down. The demonstrations were met with force from the police injuring more than fifty people.

The citizens boycotted the fake election despite the day-off from work announced by the government to help increasing the turnover of voters. Some of the election districts recoded less than twenty voters during the whole day. Frauds were discovered in many districts like Captod in Dongola where washable ink was used. Voting was completely halted in Adeleng and Rashad towns in West Kordufan as ballot boxes were taken by force by identified gunmen.

The IM urge the Sudanese diaspora, international community to stand firmly against the violation of the Sudanese citizens’ rights and do whatever possible to guarantee their safety and rights for a decent future free from corruption, genocide and terror. We urge the International Community to respect the will of the Sudanese people and not recognize the deceiving election.

The IM is an international organization with thousands of members from the Sudanese Diaspora worldwide with main office in Stockholm and representation offices in Washington, Cairo, Juba, Dublin, London and Genève
