Time for Change in Sudan
Support the Aspirations of the Sudanese People
For an Inclusive, Civilian-Led Transition
Dear Colleague,
Please join us on a bipartisan letter to Secretary of State Pompeo and Treasury Secretary Mnuchin regarding the current situation in Sudan.
After four months of peaceful protests, the Sudanese people have ended the 30-year genocidal, authoritarian rule of Omar al-Bashir. The military leadership that has now taken power are attempting to create the appearance of change, but elements and structures of the old regime remain. The Transitional Military Council (TMC) does not respond to the aspirations so clearly articulated by the pro-democracy protests that called for inclusive, civilian-led democratic change.
At this critical moment, the United States must send a clear message that international credibility and American partnership will only come through credible civilian leadership, respect for human rights, including religious freedom, and the rule of law.
To sign onto the letter or for more information, please contact Cindy Buhl (Rep. McGovern) at
[email protected] or Rachel Wagley (Rep. Wagner)

Sincerely,
James P. McGovern Chris Smith
