The Sudanese Communist Party has called on the country’s social forces affected by the ongoing conflict to organize their political struggle in pursuit of the revolution’s goals and the establishment of a democratic civic state that represents all citizens.
In a statement, the party noted what it described as a retreat from the “Forces of Freedom and Change Charter” signed in January 2019, pointing to recent political frameworks proposed in Nairobi and Cairo by various Sudanese political groups.
The statement said that the “Declaration of Principles” issued in Nairobi, along with the designation of the National Congress Party as a terrorist organization and the Cairo Charter, are positive steps toward unifying efforts to end the war and restore civilian rule. However, the party stressed that these initiatives should have built upon and critically assessed the experiences of the revolutionary forces to ensure progress and avoid repeating past mistakes.
According to the statement, the January 3, 2019 Charter of the Forces of Freedom and Change represented the minimum goals of the revolution, while the subsequent signing of the Constitutional Document and the resulting partnership with the military, the Rapid Support Forces, and other militias played a key role in undermining the revolution—culminating in the October 25, 2021 coup and the current war, which the party described as an effort to crush the revolution and seize control of the nation’s resources and strategic hubs.
The party also criticized the Nairobi and Cairo charters for prioritizing international engagement over internal dynamics, failing to outline clear steps for dismantling systemic power structures or for the withdrawal of military and paramilitary forces from political and economic life.
The statement accused Islamists and the Rapid Support Forces of committing serious violations against the Sudanese people, asserting that their classification as terrorist groups does not require international endorsement. The party urged adopting a class-based approach to the struggle that transforms the symbolic achievements of the December Revolution into an organized social force capable of driving real political change.
The Sudanese Communist Party concluded by reiterating its call for unity among affected social groups and the creation of effective instruments of struggle to achieve the revolution’s full objectives and build a democratic civil state founded on justice and equality.
