Civil groups led by Hamdok present a vision to end the war in Sudan
The civil and democratic societies in Sudan have warned about the division and complete disappearance of the Sudanese state if the civil war continues in the country, and announced that they have presented a vision to end the war.
This was stated in the last statement issued by the coordination of the groups under the leadership of the former prime minister of Sudan, Abdullah Hamdok, following a meeting held on Friday this week in the capital of Ethiopia, Addis Ababa.
The statement said: "There are only a few days left before the war of April 15 completes its first year, a war that has caused destruction, division and destruction to our country."
The statement said that the war has caused the deaths of tens of thousands of civilians and soldiers, forced millions of people to move from their homes, destroyed infrastructure and military capabilities, and destroyed the social system.
The statement added that: "Famine is now increasingly stalking Sudan and threatening the lives of millions of Sudanese."
The statement has warned that the country is getting closer to the point of no return, as the increase in militia groups, the spread of weapons, large social divisions, and the intervention of foreign powers will destroy the government body and cause the collapse and disappearance of Sudan.
The group's meeting in Addis Ababa was concluded by giving several recommendations, including putting pressure on the conflicting parties, opening ways (roads) to deliver humanitarian aid and providing protection to aid workers.
The statement of the meeting has emphasized its support for all efforts to end the hostilities, followed by a ceasefire that will lead to an end to fighting, in parallel with starting the process of finding a political solution to the Sudanese crisis.
Since the middle of April 2023, the Sudanese army and the Rapid Aid Forces have been fighting a war that has resulted in the killing of approximately 13,900 people and forced more than 8 million others to become refugees.
