The Political Bureau of the Sudanese Communist Party issued a statement condemning the horrific massacres committed by Rapid Support Forces (RSF) militias against civilians in the cities of El-Fasher and Bara, as well as other areas in Kordofan and Darfur. The party affirmed that its stance is clear and firm, and does not accept ambiguity or justification.
The statement noted that RSF militias continue to carry out systematic violence against defenseless civilians, including field executions, arbitrary arrests, looting, property destruction, mass displacement, and forcing residents to flee. United Nations reports, human rights organizations, and the media have documented these violations. The party stressed that this systematic violence is the result of a lack of justice and ongoing impunity that has enabled repeated war crimes and genocide since the early Darfur massacres, emphasizing the need for immediate accountability for both those who issued orders and those who carried them out.
The party also held the Sudanese army responsible for withdrawing from the city of El-Fasher, describing the move as irresponsible and deserving of condemnation and accountability, asserting that the army’s primary duty is to protect citizens and the homeland. The statement clarified that what is taking place is not merely a military conflict over power, but rather a conflict between competing factions of parasitic capitalists within the country over power and resources, within the framework of a regional and international imperialist scheme aimed at weakening and dismantling the Sudanese state and exploiting its wealth.
The party further held the international community accountable for its failure to intervene, calling for immediate action to stop the war and the massacres. It appealed to the peoples of the world, democratic organizations, communist and workers’ parties, and human rights organizations to express international solidarity with the Sudanese people and to organize global mobilizations to pressure for an end to the war. It also called for transforming “soft statements” into concrete measures to protect civilians, open humanitarian corridors, conduct independent investigations into war crimes, impose political, economic, and diplomatic sanctions on the perpetrators of violations, ban arms exports to them, and refer the crimes to independent international and domestic judicial mechanisms.
The party renewed its demands for:
- An immediate ceasefire, a humanitarian truce, and the opening of humanitarian corridors to El-Fasher, Darfur, Bara, Kordofan, and displacement areas.
- An independent and transparent international investigation into war crimes and prosecution of those responsible.
- Urgent action by global democratic and human rights forces to pressure states and international bodies to halt any support or complicity with parties responsible for the violations.
The party also called on popular movement forces and democratic forces in Sudan to unite, escalate peaceful struggle, and develop political initiatives to stop the war and reclaim power from the two de facto governments in Port Sudan and Nyala, returning to the path of the revolution to build a civil and democratic state that upholds human rights and achieves social justice.
The party concluded its statement by affirming that “blood cries out for justice and demands effective protection and real accountability,” calling for an end to the killing, the opening of humanitarian corridors, and the prosecution of perpetrators—seeking justice for the victims, freedom and peace for the people of Sudan.
