Hhuman rights and justice organizations reveal shocking figures on child abuses and demand the prosecution of perpetrators and the protection of civilians

Human rights and justice organizations, along with national institutions working in the humanitarian field, called for the urgent need to support humanitarian efforts for victims of violations against civilians resulting from the inhumane practices of the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), which they described as grave. They stressed the importance of reporting violations and protecting witnesses. Speakers at a celebration organized by the National Human Rights Commission in partnership with the Sudanese Coalition for Education for All (SCIFA) at the Royal Hall in the Social Security Tower in Port Sudan on Tuesday revealed the tragic conditions faced by civilians in Sudan, including forced displacement and ethnic cleansing of families, particularly children.

For his part, the rapporteur of the National Human Rights Mechanism and representative of the Minister of Justice, Dr. Yasser Sayed Ahmed emphasized the Sudanese government's commitment to prosecuting war criminals, redressing grievances, and compensating civilians whose rights were violated. He called on the United Nations and its various organizations to respect human rights, adding, "As a member state of the United Nations, we seek justice for Sudan and the restoration of the rights of its citizens from the countries that have conspired against it." He stated that the war was fundamentally aimed at changing Sudan's demographics, stressing the importance of a strong stance in support of Sudan before calling on the United Nations to begin by respecting human rights and compensating victims. Dr. Naji Mansour, head of the Sudanese Coalition for Education for All, described the situation in Sudan as the greatest humanitarian catastrophe the world has witnessed, according to United Nations reports. He added that forced displacement and the destruction of educational institutions have disrupted the educational process.

For his part, Dr. Ahmed Abdel Qader Abu, Secretary-General of the Council for Child Welfare, expressed his regret over the violations faced by Sudanese children, citing recent statistics confirming that more than 24,000 children have been orphaned and subjected to abuses including killing, kidnapping, and detention. Abu stated that children in Darfur are suffering from starvation and the violation of their most basic rights to life. He appealed to regional and international organizations, such as the United Nations, the African Union, and the Arab League, to intervene urgently and not remain silent in the face of the systematic massacres of civilians. He added that in Darfur, the number of children has decreased from three million to one hundred thousand due to killing and forced displacement, and that most children have resorted to eating animal feed due to the difficulty of delivering humanitarian aid and food.

For her part, Dr. Nadia Ja
Jufoun, Acting Head of the Human Rights Commission, called on the international community and the Sudanese government to guarantee the passage of urgent humanitarian aid and the protection of civilians, stressing that this is their duty. She sent several messages to international organizations urging them to create a conducive environment and redouble their humanitarian efforts, in addition to supporting international investigation mechanisms to prevent impunity. She noted that the Commission will remain vigilant and monitor all violations against civilians.

Minister of Justice Reveals Bilateral Dialogues with certain Countries

Minister of Justice Dr. Abdullah Darf stated that what is happening in Sudan is not an internal conflict, as many narratives suggest, but rather a full-fledged external aggression. He added, “The whole world witnessed the horrific crimes committed against unarmed civilians by this terrorist militia and its supporters, foremost among them the United Arab Emirates.”

This came during his participation in the Doha Forum, which was held under the theme “Establishing Justice: From Promises to Tangible Reality.” The meeting was held in Doha from December 6-7, 2025.

The Minister of Justice pointed to the recent actions of this terrorist militia in declaring a fictitious authority in Nyala, which was met with international condemnation and non-recognition. The United Nations issued a statement condemning this action and refusing to recognize the illegitimate authority, while recognizing the existing legitimate government. He noted the issuance of successive statements from the Peace and Security Council, the League of Arab States, and many sister nations, all condemning the action and refusing to recognize it, emphasizing the international community's commitment to the unity of Sudan.

He indicated that the Sudanese government is conducting bilateral dialogues with the United States, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Qatar, and other countries.

He explained that initiatives must address the genuine concerns of the Sudanese people regarding the weapons held by this terrorist militia. Regarding military matters, the terrorist militia must withdraw from cities and civilian areas and assemble in camps to be determined in consultation with mediators. The Sudanese police should replace them, and civilian state institutions should be restored to administer those areas. Cities and regions will be prioritized for providing services to citizens, and subsequent steps will be considered after this initial phase is implemented.

He stated that any initiatives that do not address these concerns and proposals outlined by the government in its roadmap are unserious, ineffective, and will not yield any results.

Graham: Over 100 University Libraries and Laboratories Destroyed

The Ministry of Culture, Information, and Tourism, in cooperation with the Sudanese National Library, held a workshop on Wednesday at the Port Sudan Police Club on the impact of war on culture (books and publishing).

At the workshop's opening session, Undersecretary of the Ministry of Culture, Information, and Tourism, Graham Abdel Qader, stated that over one hundred university libraries and laboratories were destroyed and damaged. He emphasized that books were not defeated during wartime; rather, dozens of books were authored and printed, and dozens of research papers were discussed. He pointed out that science and scientific research never cease because knowledge resides in people's minds. He explained that the National Library was not only a source of reading but also of audio and visual content. He affirmed that what was lost will be recovered, and that restoring the books will require a significant effort.

The Undersecretary stressed the need to reconsider publishing practices and the importance of a partnership between the government and the private sector for sustainability. He pointed out that the National Library is a repository of the efforts of all Sudanese people and represents future knowledge, calling for its modernization and a move beyond traditions. He thanked the cultural community in Red Sea State for their continued cooperation.

For her part, Ms Amal Osman Al-Hussein, Secretary-General of the National Library, said that the war deprived Sudan of human and material resources, the nation's memory, publishing houses, and cultural institutions. She noted that the National Library was affected by the systematic destruction aimed at erasing identity, and that the war also clearly impacted the cessation of production and the brain drain.

Statement by Minister of Justice, Head of the National Human Rights Mechanism, on the Occasion of International Human Rights Day

Today, December 10th, we stand to commemorate International Human Rights Day, a day that is not merely a celebration, but a renewal of our commitment and an unwavering reaffirmation of the principles from which humanity springs: the principles of inherent dignity and the inalienable rights of every individual.

We do so while our nation is passing through its darkest and most difficult circumstances; the ink with which the Universal Declaration of Human Rights was written is almost dry in the face of the innocent blood being spilled on our sacred land.

The commemoration of International Human Rights Day is a painful reminder of the aggression that our country is subjected to. This aggression, which is supported by the Abu Dhabi government, has resulted to all these grave and horrific violations against unarmed civilians, witnessed by the entire world.

Our armed forces, other regular forces, joint forces, and supporting forces are fighting today in defense of this homeland, its existence, and its sovereignty. They are defending the dignity of the Sudanese people, who have been subjected to the most heinous violations and forms of foreign aggression, directly supported by the Abu Dhabi government. This government has used these terrorist militias and mercenaries, whose only ideology is destruction and murder, and who have committed, and continue to commit, crimes against humanity and genocide against the Sudanese people since April 15, 2023. All these crimes have been committed systematically and characterized by absolute barbarity and savagery.

Genocide, ethnic cleansing, and the targeting of women, children, the elderly, and displaced persons in the most horrific ways are not mere violations; they are crimes against humanity, committed in cold blood, with blatant pride, and as eyewitness testimony to a moral collapse that cannot be ignored or forgotten. Our people's right to live in peace has transformed into a right to defend themselves, their honor, and their property, and, above all, their homeland—its soil, identity, civilization, and heritage stretching deep into history. This is a sacred right guaranteed by international law and humanitarian conventions.

The Ministry of Justice and the judicial institutions are working today, more than ever, as the legal shield and moral guarantor of this nation. While our heroes defend the land with rifles, we defend the principles of justice with fairness and the law. Our message is clear and unwavering: we are working to monitor and document all these heinous violations and horrific crimes perpetrated against our people, presenting them in all domestic, regional, and international forums. We will hold the perpetrators accountable before national and international courts, and pursue the supporting states, foremost among them the Abu Dhabi government, before international justice bodies. We are committed to ensuring that the perpetrators do not escape punishment, from the leaders of the terrorist militias to all those who supported, aided, or assisted them in any way.

Protecting victims, providing them with redress, legal protection, and psychological support, is our top priority now, especially for women, children, and the elderly who have suffered the most egregious violations. Working to redress the harm done to them is our commitment.

We are working to establish the rule of law, even in the most turbulent times. We will not allow the law to be absent as a result of this aggression, and we will continue working to ensure the swift implementation of justice procedures and the activation of institutions, because the rule of law is the strongest response to terrorism.
On this day, we salute our armed forces, other security forces, and their supporting forces, as well as our steadfast people who confront terrorism in all its forms and barbarity, clinging to their right to life and freedom.
Your steadfastness is not merely military resistance, but a cultural, legal, and moral resilience that history will record in letters of light.

They sought our defeat and humiliation, but thanks to God, the men of our armed forces, other security forces, and their supporting forces, and the resolve of our people, we triumphed over that aggression. This victory will continue, God willing, until these terrorists are eradicated. True victory will be achieved when we bring all these criminals to justice, ensuring fairness for the victims and establishing a state governed by the rule of law that guarantees human rights for all without discrimination or distinction.

We will always remember our commitment that truth and justice will never be defeated by falsehood.

Glory and eternity to our righteous martyrs, a speedy recovery to the wounded, freedom for the captives, a safe return for the missing, and justice and fairness for the victims and their families. Long live our free and dignified country, and our proud and heroic people.

Long live Sudan
