Marseille: Sudanese residents in Europe staged a protest in Marseille, France, marking 1,000 days since the outbreak of war in Sudan and condemning the international community's silence on the ongoing conflict.
According to Sudan News Agency, Mohamed Ibrahim, from the Sudanese Youth in the Diaspora group, addressed the protest, stating that more than 1,000 days have passed since the war began in Sudan, yet the international community has remained silent. He criticized the approach taken by international organizations and institutions in addressing the conflict in Sudan.
He called for the international community to fulfil its responsibilities toward peoples affected by conflict and urged that the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) militia be classified as a terrorist organization and held accountable for all crimes they have committed, which he said constitute war crimes, crimes against humanity, and acts of genocide.
Ibrahim also prayed for the forgiveness of the martyrs, speedy recovery for the wounded and injured, liberation of detainees, and the return of missing persons to their families.
Participants in the protest also called on the international community to address the suffering of the Sudanese people and work to end the ongoing humanitarian crisis. They expressed their frustration with the silence of human rights and humanitarian organizations worldwide, particularly the International Criminal Court, regarding the crimes committed by the rebel militias.
