The Sudanese Marginalized Forum (North America) welcomes and fully supports the ongoing demonstrations in Sudan
against the Islamic dictatorship of the National Congress Party. The rise of the Sudanese masses against the brutal and corrupt regime is a reflection of the NCP’s failure to save the nation from an imminent economic collapse, particularly after the loss of 75% of oil revenue that went to the newly separated South Sudan.
This day, 30th June, coincides with the day in which the Islamic extremists took power in a military coup in 1989. For the last 23 years, the regime of President Bashir has alienated all non-supporters, monopolized all economic activity, impoverished the people, brutalized political opponents including students, journalists and human r
ights activists. In addition, this regime has used excessive force and brutality against the marginalized people of Sudan: more than 2 million civilians killed in southern Sudan in a war that ended in the separation of South Sudan, 300 thousand innocent lives lost in Darfur in a documented genocide, thousands of people killed by aerial bombing and ground attacks in the current war in the Nuba Mountains and Blue Nile regions, the killing by gunfire of demonstrators in Port Sudan in the east and in Kagbar in the north a few years ago, and many more incidents of extrajudicial executions, arrest and torture throughout the country.
We the marginalized people of Sudan, representing the regions of Darfur, the Nuba Mountains, Blue Nile, Abyei, the Beja in the east and Nubia in the north, will mobilize all our masses inside and outside Sudan, to fully and effectively take part in the current uprising against the Khartoum regime. We will put our efforts together and in coordination with all Sudanese forces of change including political and civil society organizations in order to bring about change towards freedom, justice and equality.
The Sudanese Marginalized Forum demands the following:
- That the Beshir regime stop the violence and use of excessive force against the peaceful
demonstrators.
All Sudanese have the right to express their political views and voice their concerns.
- Release of all political detainees.
- Regime change is the best solution to all the problems of Sudan. It will also bring peace to the war torn regions, save the nation from economic collapse, and lead to better relations with countries in the region and around the world.
- African Union member states must reconsider their support to the Khartoum regime and move to isolate it. We also ask African countries and civil society organizations to support the Sudanese revolution.
- Arresting Bashir and bringing him to trial at the Hague along with the other government officials wanted by the ICC, will be justice served for the millions of Sudanese victimized by their atrocities.
- The international community must impose a no-fly zone in the war areas of the Nuba Mountains, Blue Nile, Darfur and in the border areas with South Sudan, in order to protect civilians including refugees and IDPs.
- The regime must stop the violence against and harassment of women in all parts of Sudan. Women have particularly suffered and very humiliated by the actions of the Islamic extremists, such as arrest, torture, rape, strict dress code, lashing in public etc.
We call on all the friends of Sudan in the United States and around the world to support us in our resistance against the Islamic regime. The United Nations Security Council must act to protect innocent civilians from the brutal regime.
