The United Nations warned that continued fighting would lead to further disasters and suffering for both Sudanese and humanitarian workers.
The Deputy Head of the United Nations Mission in the Sudan, Kelmentin Salami, said that fighting between the army and rapid support had exacerbated the deterioration of humanitarian conditions in all areas.
She explained that the number of displaced persons in the Sudan had become the largest in the world amid extremely poor conditions, and called on both parties to the conflict to immediately and long-term cessation of hostilities and to allow the delivery of humanitarian assistance to those affected throughout the country.
The organization’s appeals to address the situation in the Sudan amounted to only 26 percent of the total of more than $2 billion.
136 cases of rape
A government official revealed that the number of girls who have been raped and sexually abused since the fighting began had risen to about 136.
The Director of the Unit for Combating Violence against Women, Salimi Ishak, said that “since the beginning of the war, rape crimes have risen to 136 cases, 68 of which have been recorded in Khartoum state, while the rest have been distributed in the states of Southern and Western Darfur”. According to survivors, all new cases had been committed by elements of rapid support except for two by armed robbery groups.
Hamdok Memorandum
At another level, former Prime Minister Abdullahi Hamdok, two former members of the Sovereign Council and ministers, pushed a memorandum to the Secretary-General of the United Nations against the invitation of the President of the Sovereign Council, Abdul Fatah al-Burhan, to participate in the 78th session of the United Nations General Assembly Assembly.
The memorandum signed at the current 23 said that on October 25, 2021, the military component dismissed the Transitional Civilian Government, resulting in a total constitutional collapse, which resulted in a de facto government that also collapsed with the outbreak of the 15 April war, which was a direct result of the removal of the civilian government.
Regional and international institutions, including the African Union, the United Nations Security Council and the European Union, had expressed their refusal to undermine the transitional Government and halt the democratic transition process by adopting resolutions condemning those actions and demanding the restoration of power to civilians.
The signatories said that Al-Burhan’s invitation to the meetings of the United Nations General Assembly as a representative of the Sudan contradicted the stated positions referred to and contributed to the prolongation of the war in the Sudan.
The memorandum noted that the December 2018 revolution resolved the position of the Sudanese people on coups d ‘état and totalitarian regimes by establishing full civilian legitimacy.
