Sudan Events – Follow-ups
The Guardians Organization in the Ugandan capital, Kampala, launched a new month-long campaign on Wednesday to mobilise the world’s support to save Sudanese from hunger.
Rowida Matar expressed her hope that the Guardians’ campaign would be “the nucleus of greater civil action in this direction, while encouraging the largest number of donors and contributors to provide humanitarian aid.”
Rowida said, according to “Sudan Tribune,” that the launch includes raising a distress call in all local Sudanese dialects, while women wear mourning clothes and beat the drums of the country’s tribes asking for relief.
She continued: “The campaign includes a spiritual day of prayer, supplication, and hymns to help Sudan from famine, under the slogan “Let us pray for the relief of the Sudanese people in groups,” addition to a full-day hunger strike with the banging of empty cooking pots in solidarity with the empty pots of food in Sudan and the displacement and refugee camps.”
She said that the campaign includes a day of solidarity with the children of Sudan and another to organize protests in countries around the world and the headquarters of the United Nations, addition to “a day of a wall against hunger, which is a drawing workshop by artists and children who draw a wall against hunger under the slogan “We will fight hunger with colors.” She added: “There will be a day for a free clinic in Kampala and the Sudanese refugee camp in Krindingo, northern Uganda, to convey their suffering in obtaining medical care in the camp.”
