Protests in Sudan Receive Violent Response :By Randall Butler the founding director of the Institute for Sustainable Peace.
Over the past several days, many citizens of Sudan have been exercising their right to demonstrate peacefully in the streets of their home cities to express their desire for democracy and the end of the current ruling regime. We are receiving reports that the Sudan government’s response has been brutal and violent repression. Security forces are firing on and killing protesters. Protesters are being arrested and beaten in jail. Opposition political leaders, intellectuals, and human rights advocates are also being arrested and in many cases beaten. Our hearts go out to the victims and to their families.
Leadership is service – service to and for the good of the people. Members of the government, military, and police would be well served to remember that and, therefore, to refuse to do violence to their fellow citizens and the youth of their country.
This movement of the people for political change is motivated by a desire for a brighter future for the Sudanese people. It is rooted in a desire to transform the structures and systems of Sudanese society to make them more just, more equitable, more inclusive, and more participatory. We believe that sustainable peace will come to Sudan only when such a transformation becomes a living reality that can be experienced day to day by all of the citizens of Sudan regardless of their race, tribe, religion or political affiliation.
