    Ambassador of Sudan, H.E Salih Mohamed Ahmed Mohamed Siddiq has said that the rebels are committing gruesome human rights violations killing innocent people, torturing women including raping them and destroying the infrastructure. He criticized some countries for intervention in Sudan.
    Ambassador addressed a press conference on 04 Nov 2024, at the Embassy in which he shed light on what is happening in his country , what are the rebels doing and who is strengthening them for sabotage and terrorism.
    Ambassador of Sudan shared the details of killings by the rebels in Khartoum,Gezira, Sinnar, Darfur and other regions. He also screened a video documentary in which the rebels can be seen raping women, killing citizens , politicians and then mutilating their dead bodies. The scenes are too horrific to watch even.
    The war in Sudan erupted on the 15th of April 2023, due to the ambitions of the rebel “Rapid Support Forces” Command to seize power by force. Since the eruption of the war, the government of Sudan has welcomed all cease fire calls and peace initiatives to stop the war.
    ” In line with this, the government has signed Jeddah peace agreement that stated clearly the rebels shall evacuate the civilians’ premises they occupied after their failure to take power by force. However, the rebels have refused to comply with the Jeddah peace agreement terms, and continued to use all cease fire truces to launch fresh attacks, Ambassador said.
    Ambassador shared that the rebel RSF militia has brought hundreds of thousands of mercenaries from many foreign countries including Chad, Central Africa Republic and South Sudan, and also smuggled arms and ammunitions from some countries into Sudan a matter which constitutes a threat to the local, regional and international peace and security.
    The rebel RSF militias have been committing human rights violations and war crimes since day one. They committed grave crimes against humanity, including killing, looting, raping, kidnapping and arresting civilians. The militia’s crimes caused sufferings that affected all segments of Sudanese society, and created a worse humanitarian situation.
    ” It has occupied houses of citizens in Khartoum, and seized civilians and public service facilities such as schools, mosques, churches, hospitals, electricity and water stations, and turns all these places into military bases, Mr. Salih noted.
    The rebel RSF militia has forced millions of people in states of Khartoum, Gezira, Sinnar, and the five states of Darfur, to flee their homes. The militia has killed thousands of innocent citizens using artillery shelling especially in Al-fashir city in North Darfur. And last week, the rebels committed genocide in Al-Gezira state after they invaded several villages killing hundreds of citizens. Till now tens of thousands were killed, around 15 millions displaced, and more than 3 millions are refugees in different countries.

    The crimes of the rebel RSF militia have been documented by human rights activists, international human rights agencies, and the rebels themselves who filmed their crimes in defiance to the international humanitarian law.
    The government of Sudan has urged UN Human Rights Commission and the UN Security Council and all the international community to condemn the criminal acts of the rebel militia against the civilian people in different parts of Sudan, and to classify it as a terrorist organization.
    Ambassador highlighted the humanitarian situation and the dire need of international help. He said , “With regard to the humanitarian issues, we assure that Sudanese people are in dire need of humanitarian aid, and the government has honored its commitment to allow unfettered access of the humanitarian relief to the needy people in Darfur and other parts of Sudan. In this regard, the government has been facilitating issuance of travel clearance permissions and visas to humanitarian workers, and opened some crossings like Adre crossing between Sudan and Chad, and also has prepared some local airports for receiving humanitarian aid.”
    The government has also issued permissions to the world health organization to deliver medicines in all affected zones including rebel held areas such as Al-dein, Niyala and Zalingi. Furthermore, the Sudanese air forces have air dropped food and medical supplies in Al-Fashir city in North Darfur state, which has been under systematic rebel’s siege and attacks for months.

    A few weeks ago the United Arab Emirates alleged that the residence of its ambassador in Khartoum has been bombed by the Sudanese Armed Forces. Ambassador Sudan rejected the allegation.
    As a sovereign country, Sudan has lodged a complaint at the UN Security Council against the a middle eastern country in the wake of international reports and evidence confirming involvement in providing the rebels with arms, ammunitions and logistic support.
    Sudan has also filed a complaint against the Republic of Chad with the African Commission on Human and Peoples’ Rights of the African Union on last Friday. The complaint included facts, evidence and conclusive proof proving Chad’s involvement in supporting and backing the rebel RSF militia in its violations and crimes.
    Sharing the response of  Sudanese Armed Forces SAF to the rebels, Ambassador shared, ” Our forces maintain the upper hand in all fronts and managed to liberate many towns from the rebel RSF militia.
    The SAF is committed to international law and Vienna Convention 1961, as well as it is committed to carry out their core duty, granted by all domestic and international laws, to protect their country, their regional safety, people and its sovereignty against any aggressors or aggression, and to confront mercenaries and terrorists whoever they are, and wherever they come from.
    The terrorist rebel RSF militia incarnates the worst ever known of terrorist groups. It committed all types of crimes against humanity, and attacked more than 40 diplomatic and UN Agencies headquarters in Khartoum.
    ” Therefor the terrorist militia, supported by its sponsors, is continuing to violate the basic rules of International Law, and that should be condemned by the international community,H.E Salih Mohamed Ahmed Mohamed Siddiq concluded.
