Appeal campaign for the April 6 demonstrations, which coincide in parallel with the proposed settlement, also marked the anniversary of the victory of the 1985 revolution that overthrew former President Jaafar Mohamed Nimeiri, as well as the anniversary of the beginning of the General Command sit-in before the fall of Omar al-Bashir’s regime, and before the infamous massacre that killed hundreds and left thousands of wounded and injured, and missing people, were launched in the cities of the capital, Khartoum.
The Resistance Committees categorically reject the ongoing settlement between the military forces and some civilian political forces, and believe that it does not achieve the goals of the revolution, which calls for the return of the military to the barracks and the achievement of a civil state and justice. It also considers it an attempt to return the situation to what it was before the coup of October 25, 2021, and to produce a new partnership between the leaders of the military and the forces of freedom and change, in addition to the forces that joined them.
Sudan has been witnessing a revolutionary movement that has been going on for four years, which has increased in frequency after the military coup and their seizure of power, and the “resistance committees” have risen as an advanced leader in the arena and worked to organize field work, ignite demonstrations, and arrange for vigils. Throughout the past period, which lasted about a year and a half, the resistance coordination has been issuing monthly schedules for central processions in Khartoum and other cities of Sudan.
On the other hand, the security services continued to face these protests and demonstrations with excessive repression, which according to statistics caused the death of (125) demonstrators, and about (4) thousand others suffered severe injuries, including the loss of a limb through amputation of the leg or hand.
According to the Medical Office of the Injured of the December Revolution, there are (8) injured in a state of complete coma, (34) were permanently paralyzed, most of them young people, including girls, and (34) others lost one of their eyes.
“Justice” is the most prominent central issue mobilizing the majority of actors in the Sudanese revolutionary street, who believe that the ongoing political settlement has ignored it and even paved the way for impunity for military leaders and perpetrators of violations against the revolutionaries.
