F<\/span>reedom, peace and justice. Three words that united the Sudanese people and became the banner under which 30 years of dictatorship was brought to an end. An era of corruption, religious extremism, repression and conflict was over.<\/p>\n

I did not think that seven years on from the glorious December revolution, our nation would be on the edge of irreversible collapse. Three years of senseless violence have pushed Sudan to the brink. The country is engulfed in the world\u2019s worst humanitarian crisis<\/a>, with hundreds of thousands dead and millions displaced. And for what?<\/p>\n

Africa\u2019s third-largest country laid waste by warmongers so intoxicated by the prospect of power that the suffering of the Sudanese people means nothing to them. Those who weaponise starvation<\/a> or use chemical weapons against their own people are not the ones to bring us freedom. The recent attacks on civilian targets in East Darfur<\/a> and North Kordofan<\/a> should make that painfully clear.<\/p>\n

From the moment the first shot was fired it was apparent neither the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) nor the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) could win this war. The idea of a total military victory is a fallacy, propagated by those who profit from prolonging it.<\/p>\n

Yet the senselessness of this conflict cannot justify inaction. Sudan still has a future. Across the country, civilian coalitions are stepping up in the absence of a functioning state, delivering food and medicine, and coordinating support for peace efforts.<\/p>\n
