Commander-in-Chief: The War Will Only End with the End of the Rebellion

Head of the Transitional Sovereignty Council and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, Lieutenant General Abdul Fattah al-Burhan, called on all Sudanese to participate in the “Battle of Dignity and Honor.” He said, “Everyone who can bear arms must come forward and join the battle to defeat this rebel militia and eliminate it everywhere.”

Addressing worshippers at the Old Mosque in the Al-Seriha area of Gezira State, he emphasized that the battle will not end with an agreement or truce, but rather with the elimination of this rebel militia. He pointed to the suffering of the Sudanese people as a result of the militia’s violations against unarmed civilians, who have been subjected to killing, looting, robbery, and r**e.

The Commander-in-Chief reiterated that there will be no truce with the rebels and no peace with them, stressing that the Sudanese people will not accept them or their supporters. He praised the people’s steadfastness alongside their leadership. He said, “The world must disarm them to achieve peace.”

He offered his condolences to the families of the martyrs who fell in the line of duty and in the battle for dignity and honor, wishing a speedy recovery to the wounded and injured. He added that their pledge to the martyrs is: there will be no peace with the rebels, no negotiations, and that the march will continue until the terrorist rebel militia is eliminated and defeated.

Al-Burhan praised the citizens of Al-Seriha in Gezira State who taught the enemy a lesson they will not forget, saying, “We will exact retribution for all the Sudanese people from these rebels and murderers.”

Human Rights Council Adopts UN Mission to Investigate Abuses in El Fasher

The UN Human Rights Council unanimously adopted a resolution on Friday to establish a mission to investigate abuses committed in El Fasher, the capital of North Darfur State, which was seized by the Rapid Support Forces in late October.

The Council instructed the investigators to identify all those involved in the suspected atrocities committed in El Fasher to help bring them to justice.

UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Türk said that Sudan is “trapped in a proxy war being fought for control of its natural resources,” warning that the atrocities in El Fasher represent “the most serious crimes that could have been prevented.”

He added in statements on Friday that the Rapid Support Forces' takeover of El Fasher was followed by ethnically motivated executions, mass r**es, kidnappings, arbitrary arrests, and repeated attacks on medical facilities, describing the events as "shocking atrocities."

Mona Rishmawi, a member of the UN Independent International Fact-Finding Mission on Sudan, described examples of r**e, murder, and torture, and said a thorough investigation was needed to establish the full picture.

She said the Rapid Support Forces "turned El Fasher University into a killing field" where thousands of civilians had sought refuge. She added that witnesses also reported seeing bodies piled up in the streets and in trenches dug in and around the city.

However, the draft resolution does not include a mandate to investigate the role of external parties that may be supporting the militia, a point criticized by Sudan's Permanent Representative to the UN Office in Geneva, Hassan Hamid Hassan, who said his country is facing a "war of destiny" after the international community failed to act.

Women fleeing the city reported systematic killings and r**es, while others spoke of civilians being shot in the streets and attacked during marches.

Britain, the European Union, Norway, and Ghana expressed their support for the resolution, strongly condemning the violence in Sudan and warning that it could threaten regional stability.

On October 26, the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) seized El Fasher and committed massacres against civilians, according to local and international organizations, amid warnings of a potential geopolitical division of the country.

Since April 2023, Sudan has been embroiled in a military conflict between the army and the RSF, resulting in the deaths of tens of thousands and the displacement of approximately 13 million people, in addition to exacerbating a humanitarian crisis described as one of the worst in the world.

Sudan Welcomes Human Rights Council Resolution and Condemnation of Rebel Militia Violations

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation welcomes the Human Rights Council resolution that clearly condemned the atrocities and grave violations committed by the rebel militia and its allied groups in and around El Fasher. These violations include ethnically motivated killings, torture, extrajudicial executions, arbitrary detention of civilians, forced recruitment, and the use of r**e and other forms of sexual violence as a weapon of war. The Ministry also appreciates the resolution's strong affirmation of respect for Sudan's sovereignty, unity, and territorial integrity, and its unwavering solidarity with the Sudanese people.

The Ministry further welcomes the resolution's call upon all parties and states to respect Sudan's unity and territorial integrity, and its rejection of any attempts to establish a parallel authority in areas controlled by the rebel militia.

At the same time, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation reiterates the Sudanese government’s firm stance against attempts to include controversial mechanisms in this resolution, based on previous resolutions that were not approved by the state. The Ministry affirms the Sudanese government’s commitment to cooperating and coordinating with human rights mechanisms operating in the country, including the Country Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights and the Specially Designated Expert on the situation of human rights in Sudan, with the aim of enabling these mechanisms to carry out their mandates, enhance the protection of human rights, ensure justice and redress for victims, and prevent impunity.

The Ministry also emphasizes that the Country Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights is the only mechanism on the ground capable of monitoring and reporting on the atrocities committed by the militia in El Fasher, as well as the widespread violations that have affected other Sudanese cities and states, in coordination and integration with relevant national mechanisms.

Life Imprisonment for Kushayb

The prosecution at the International Criminal Court asked the judges to sentence Ali Kushayb to life imprisonment, after convicting him on 27 counts related to war crimes and crimes against humanity committed in the Darfur region.

The prosecution explained that only a life sentence reflects the magnitude of the crimes committed, which included:

– The killing of at least 213 civilians

– The r**e of women and girls

– The torture and cruel treatment of 200 detainees

– The burning of villages, markets, and homes

– The displacement of 3,400 families from Darfur

– Ethnic and political targeting of the Fur and other non-Arabs

The prosecution emphasized that these violations constitute grave crimes warranting the maximum penalties, stressing that international justice is obligated to provide redress for the victims and ensure that the perpetrators do not escape punishment.

US Diplomat Reveals Reasons Behind Secretary of State's Statements on the Rapid Support Forces

Former US diplomat Cameron Hudson stated that US Secretary of State Marco Rubio's recent remarks regarding the Rapid Support Forces' (RSF) abuses and the countries supplying them with weapons were not coincidental. He explained that they came just one week after Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman's visit to Washington.

Hudson clarified that officials in Washington are currently studying how to respond to Riyadh's demands to pressure the UAE to halt its military support for the RSF. He added, "Rubio's statements, even if belated, are a step in the right direction," noting that they reflect the US administration's awareness of the nature of the RSF's violations and the regional role contributing to their continuation, including support from the UAE and Chad.

Observers believe that Saudi Arabia is strongly pressuring Washington to take a tougher stance against Emirati support for the RSF, arguing that the continued flow of weapons complicates any efforts to end the war. These developments come ahead of the Saudi Crown Prince's anticipated visit to the United States on November 18, his first visit since Trump's re-election, amid expectations that it will be a pivotal moment in the partnership between the two countries.

Meanwhile, Sudanese journalist Mohamed Osman Ibrahim dismissed the notion that Washington is under Saudi pressure to exert pressure on Abu Dhabi, emphasizing a "fundamental shift" in the two countries' positions toward Sudan, and that recent American statements are not merely an attempt to push through a ceasefire proposal.

Journalist Rashan Oshi, for her part, considered Rubio's harsh tone toward the Rapid Support Forces to appear to some as a change in American policy, but in her analysis, it is simply a diplomatic maneuver aimed at distancing the Sudanese government from rapprochement with Ankara and bringing it back into the "Quad" framework, thus serving American interests in the Red Sea. She affirmed that Washington cannot afford to anger the UAE, which is a cornerstone of its financial and political influence in the region, nor can it jeopardize Trump's interests, which are closely tied to the Gulf Cooperation Council.

Jibril Ibrahim: No Negotiation or Coexistence with the RSF Militia

The head of the Justice and Equality Movement, Jibril Ibrahim, stated that the crimes committed by the militia in Sudan are stories to be told for history and future generations, given their brutality. He categorically ruled out any negotiations with them.

Speaking at a women's rally in Port Sudan on Thursday in support of women in Darfur, he pointed to the Rapid Support Forces militia's approach and the support it receives from several countries, including the UAE, which the militia is implementing against Sudan and its people. He emphasized that the world is dealing with these crimes with double standards.

Jibril added, "We will not hand Sudan over to anyone, and no one can dictate to us the system of government in our country. We are free to determine the form of government."

He vowed to liberate "every inch of Sudanese land defiled by the militia" and its supporters, and to continue the struggle. He added, "We still hold the initiative."

He called for unity to defeat the militia, saying, “We are determined to liberate our land from agents and traitors.”

Jibril stated that the militia is only skilled in the deliberate killing of civilians, adding, “We have not and will not negotiate with them, nor will we coexist with them, because they are murderers who violate all international norms, and no one accepts this militia.”

He continued, “It is more honorable for us to die than to coexist with those who commit murder against women, men, children, and the sick. All kinds of violations have been committed against the citizens of El Fasher, and what happened there is unprecedented.”

He noted that joint cooperation contributes to rapid interventions, identifying gaps, and addressing the challenges left by the recent war.

The meeting explored opportunities to mobilize support for the rehabilitation of vocational and entrepreneurship training centers damaged by the war, in addition to marketing vocational training projects through necessary technical studies. The meeting also discussed the possibility of AcoCaps and the Canadian Foundation contributing to revitalizing the rural economy through economic and professional empowerment programs in partnership with national and international institutions.

For his part, Dr. Mahmoud Zain Al-Abidine affirmed AcoCaps commitment to supporting capacity-building programs for Khartoum State employees. He noted the implementation of several training courses aimed at developing effective administrative leadership skills in emergency situations, targeting senior state officials.

He explained that the Center will hold two training workshops in the coming period. The first will discuss employment issues in a post-war context, and the second, titled "Organizing the Contribution of Vocational Training to Voluntary Return and Reconstruction," will be conducted in partnership with relevant federal ministries.

Foreign Minister Welcomes US Counterpart's Statements

Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation welcomed the statements made yesterday (Wednesday) by US Secretary of State Marco Rubio following the G7 foreign ministers' meeting in Canada, regarding the situation in Sudan.

Sudanese Foreign Minister, Mohi El-Din Salem, told the Sudan News Agency today (Thursday) that calling things by their names and directly accusing the terrorist militia and the mercenaries it employed of committing massacres against innocent civilians, and the possibility of designating it as a terrorist organization, paves the way for correcting the international community's view of what is happening in Sudan. It also distances the country from equating a regular national army with an outlawed tribal militia.

Salem added that the US Secretary of State's statements, acknowledging the brutality of the terrorist militia's practices and the necessity of confronting it and halting its arms supplies, send a strong message to the other countries following the peace process in Sudan and those that aid the militia, either by supplying it with weapons or allowing it to use their territories and borders to smuggle weapons and mercenaries.

The Sudan News Agency (SUNA) quoted the minister as saying that the time has come to hold the Dagalo militia accountable, and that it is too late to stop the bloodshed of the Sudanese people. He pointed out that the international community's delayed response to the Sudanese government's repeated appeals to compel the militia to implement UN Security Council resolutions, such as Resolution 2736/2024, to allow aid into El Fasher, has led to the humanitarian catastrophe we are witnessing in El Fasher.

In the same vein, the minister called on the international community to recognize that the militia is employing the same tactics and besieging the cities of Dilling, Kadugli, and Babanusa, a situation the international community must address to prevent a repeat of the El Fasher tragedy.
