Sudan has passed more than 1,000 days of war, as 62 Sudanese, African, and Arab rights organisations warn that the conflict is contributing to state fragmentation alongside ongoing mass atrocities and a limited international response.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a joint statement published yesterday, the signatories said the conflict has \u201caccelerated state disintegration and systematic atrocities\u201d, while the\u00a0international community<\/a>\u00a0remains \u201cincapable of preventing the return of genocide, widespread atrocities, and the weaponisation of the justice system\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They described a war between the Sudanese Armed Forces and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces driven by a struggle for\u00a0power and resources<\/a>\u00a0that derailed Sudan\u2019s civilian democratic transition, and called for \u201can immediate end to external arms flows that sustain this machinery of brutality\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rejecting any settlement limited to armed actors, the groups urged \u201ca\u00a0peace process<\/a>\u00a0that is not a bargain between warlords, but a transition to inclusive, civilian rule.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Warning that repression now extends beyond the battlefield, the organisations said Sudan\u2019s judiciary has been \u201csystematically weaponised to criminalise humanitarian action, silence dissent, and intimidate displaced persons and perceived opponents\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They also highlighted conflict-related\u00a0sexual violence<\/a>\u00a0as a tactic of war, saying such crimes have left \u201cindelible scars on survivors and the nation’s social fabric\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite the devastation, the statement praised Sudanese civil society, saying \u201cthe true spirit of Sudan survives through the extraordinary defiance of its people\u201d, pointing to volunteer-run emergency response rooms and mutual aid networks operating under extreme danger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The signatories called on the international community to halt arms transfers, protect civilians, and ensure accountability for atrocity crimes committed during the war.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
