After the Sudanese people overthrew Omar al-Bashir’s decades-long dictatorship, winds of change began to blow across the country. The people, through resistance organizations such as the Communist Party, the Resistance Committees, and the Sudanese Professionals Association, were strengthening their institutions of struggle and setting an example for the peoples of the world in their fight for a deserved freedom.
However, despite the army’s promises—made in the course of negotiations—to hand over power to a civilian democratic government, it refused to transfer authority to the Sudanese people, blocking the political transition. Later, its power struggle with the Janjaweed (Rapid Support Forces) turned into a civil war.
The civil war, which began with the Rapid Support Forces (RSF)—known for their crimes for years—has brought only blood and destruction to the Sudanese people.
In recent weeks and months, escalating repression and massacres have made the country vulnerable. The civil war, provoked and fueled by regional states and imperialist powers, continues to escalate.
It is known that Turkey has also provided weapons and logistical support to the warring parties.
Solidarity with the peoples of Sudan—just as with Gaza—is both a responsibility born of the common struggle against genocidal and murderous gangs, and an indispensable step toward breaking imperialist plans and developping the fight against imperialism.
The collaborating regional states must immediately abandon their destructive policies that fuel this civil war and must not stand on the side of deepening the conflict.
The call for international solidarity issued by the Sudanese communists is as follows:
“We in the Sudanese Communist Party call on the peoples of the world, and their democratic organizations, foremost among them the communist and labor parties, as well as human rights organizations and the conscience of the entire world, for international solidarity with the Sudanese people who are suffering alone and steadfastly in the face of a brutal war entering its third year without a horizon for resolution or end…”
We accept this call as is our own call . Furthermore:
“1. An immediate ceasefire, the declaration of a humanitarian truce, and a complete opening of humanitarian corridors to El Fasher and other areas of Darfur, Bara, and all of North and South Kordofan, ensuring the protection of aid convoys.
- A quick, independent, and transparent international investigation into war crimes, and holding accountable all who committed, ordered, or contributed to these crimes.”
These demands are also our own demands.
Imperialist plans will be defeated, imperialism will be crushed, and the peoples of our region and the world will achieve liberation.
Long live proletarian internationalism!

Statement on the Massacres by Rapid Support Forces in Bara and El Fasher
Our party stands clearly and decisively against the horrifying massacres being committed against civilians in the cities of El Fasher and Bara, as well as in other areas of Kordofan and Darfur; a stance that does not accept ambiguity or justification.
The Rapid Support Forces continue to perpetrate systematic violence against unarmed civilians: field executions, arbitrary arrests, looting and destruction of property, mass displacement, and forcing residents to flee… and more, as documented and confirmed by reports from the United Nations, human rights organizations, and the media.
This hellish, systematic violence is the result of all the wars our country has endured, marked by barbarity and the failure to bring perpetrators to justice. Impunity has never been an exception; rather, it is a central reason for the recurrence of these crimes. The ongoing absence of accountability has recreated an environment that allows the return of war crimes and genocide against the populations of cities and villages as soon as the regime’s forces retreat, as seen in Bara and El Fasher.
What we witness today is an extension of a policy entrenched since the first Darfur massacres. Therefore, confronting these crimes requires immediate and firm accountability for all those responsible for issuing and executing orders.
We also emphasize that the failure to secure unarmed civilians, and the withdrawal of the army from the steadfast city of El Fasher for months in the face of the Janjaweed militia, is an irresponsible act deserving condemnation and accountability. The primary and most important duty of the army is to protect citizens and the homeland, not to protect itself.
We in the Sudanese Communist Party always affirm that what is happening is not merely a military struggle for power; rather, it represents a complex scene of conflict between the parasitic wings of capitalism within the country over power and resources. These forces have amassed their wealth and privileges through corruption and the exploitation of power to loot resources, using armed conflict and terrorism to reinforce their dominance.
The war is, at the same time, a regional/international/imperialist scheme aimed at weakening the Sudanese state and creating conditions for disintegration and division to deplete the capabilities of the people, the wealth of the country, and violate national sovereignty. This political and economic dimension (local, regional, and international) of the conflict places a doubled responsibility on the international community to intervene immediately to stop this war and these massacres.
We in the Sudanese Communist Party call on the peoples of the world, and their democratic organizations, foremost among them the communist and labor parties, as well as human rights organizations and the conscience of the entire world, for international solidarity with the Sudanese people who are suffering alone and steadfastly in the face of a brutal war entering its third year without a horizon for resolution or end… We call for popular movements around the world in the streets, through writing in newspapers, on social media, or other means for the immediate cessation of the war in Sudan and solidarity with our people.
We also call for transforming “soft statements” and formal appeals into practical steps to protect civilians, open humanitarian corridors for the population, deliver aid, and conduct neutral and independent investigations into all war crimes in our country. The criticisms and condemnations issued by international and human rights institutions must be followed by concrete actions: imposing political, economic, and diplomatic sanctions on the perpetrators of violations, banning the export of weapons and logistical support to the criminals, and referring the crimes to independent international and local judicial mechanisms.
We demand, also:
- An immediate ceasefire, the declaration of a humanitarian truce, and a complete opening of humanitarian corridors to El Fasher and other areas of Darfur, Bara, and all of North and South Kordofan, ensuring the protection of aid convoys.
- A quick, independent, and transparent international investigation into war crimes, and holding accountable all who committed, ordered, or contributed to these crimes.
- Urgent action from the peoples of the world, its democratic forces, and human rights organizations to pressure states and international bodies to halt any support or political or military complicity with the parties responsible for the violations.
At the same time, we call on the vanguard of our people, the forces of mass mobilization, and democratic forces to unite their ranks, escalate peaceful mass struggle, and develop political initiatives aimed at stopping the war, seizing power from the de facto governments in Port Sudan and Nyala, and returning to the path of the revolution to build a civil democratic state that safeguards human rights and achieves social justice.
– We will not allow the testimonies of the victims to be buried in statements that merely express sympathy without follow-up. Blood cries out for justice, demanding real protection and accountability.
– Stop the killing. Open the corridors for aid. Bring the perpetrators to justice.
– Justice for the victims — and freedom and peace for the people of Sudan.
