WASHINGTON D.C.— ALL OUT FOR SUDAN! Join us on Sunday, February 18th 2024 in the fight for Sudan and the Sudanese people. Foreign interests are complicit in the war crimes against humanity seen in Sudan today. We call for an immediate end to all financial and military backing of the RSF by the UAE and other parties. As we’ve reached the 300th day of war with over 10 million internally-displaced peoples, we urge the international community to take action and responsibility in the growing humanitarian crisis on the ground. Come out to learn more about the active crisis and how you can take action. It’s time to show the world that Sudan is not for sale! Wear a mask and share with your communities.

Background on the Conflict in Sudan:
For over 300 days, Sudan has been the collateral of relentless clashes between the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), marking the outbreak of conflict in April 2023. This prolonged violence has not only claimed countless lives, displaced millions, terrorized the Sudanese people, and demolished so much of the country's infrastructure, but now has also led to a complete outage of Sudan's telecommunications keeping the world in the dark.
The roots of Sudan's turmoil trace back to the ousting of former President Omar al-Bashir, which initially sparked hopes for democratic progress. However, the rise of General Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, commonly known as Hemeti, and his RSF has since derailed these aspirations. Hemeti's significant influence has effectively halted Sudan's transition to democracy, exacerbating the displacement and suffering of millions. The power struggle between the RSF and the Sudanese military within the transitional government underscores the urgent need for support from the international community.
As Sudan grapples with internal power dynamics, the humanitarian situation within the country continues to deteriorate rapidly. Ongoing fighting, coupled with shortages of food, water, and fuel, has left millions in dire need. The collapse of essential services, including healthcare, has further exacerbated the crisis, with severe shortages of medicines and vital supplies. In the face of these challenges, it is imperative for the international community to heed Sudan's cry for help and stand in solidarity with its people in their quest for peace, democracy, and humanitarian relief.
