Sudan’s Ambassador to London, Babiker Al-Siddiq Mohamed Al-Amin, received a delegation from the Conference of Arab Communities in Britain on a solidarity visit in support of Sudan.
The delegation included a cross-section of intellectuals, media professionals, university professors, lawyers, and activists from various Arab communities in London, underscoring the centrality and importance of the Sudanese cause.
The conference delegation, as an umbrella body representing Arab communities in London, affirmed its full solidarity with Sudan and its support for the country’s territorial unity and national sovereignty.
An open dialogue was held during which the ambassador responded to questions and interventions reflecting broad interest in the Sudanese issue and a keen desire to understand the nature of what is unfolding in Sudan and how to support it at this critical stage.
The ambassador provided a comprehensive briefing on developments in Sudan, explaining that the country is facing external aggression carried out through the terrorist Janjaweed militia, while a regional sponsor supplies advanced weapons, mercenaries, and political backing.
He stressed that the current priority is the protection of Sudanese civilians and the preservation of state sovereignty and unity.
The ambassador emphasized that narratives portraying the situation in Sudan as a power struggle between two generals or as a civil war are misleading accounts promoted in some Western circles and do not reflect realities on the ground.
He addressed the grave violations committed by the militia, including genocide, forced displacement, demographic change, sexual violence and rape, and destructive schemes targeting the Sudanese state.
The ambassador reviewed the efforts of the Sudanese government and the heroism of the Sudanese Armed Forces, backed by all segments of the population, in confronting this aggression.
He also discussed voluntary return and reconstruction efforts, noting that life has begun to return to normal in most Sudanese states.
He warned of the dangers of attempts to entrench the status quo in Darfur as a prelude to the partition of Sudan, stating that Darfur’s residents are being subjected to genocide, ethnic cleansing, and land dispossession by the terrorist militia to settle foreigners as part of a settlement project aimed at demographic transformation of the region.
He added that treating the militia as a political actor to be negotiated with amounts to handing Darfur’s civilians over to a genocidal force, arguing that the international community should deal with it in the same manner as ISIS and similar groups.
He further explained that the militia exploits ceasefire announcements to expand militarily and commit further atrocities, citing the June 2023 El Geneina massacres during the Jeddah-declared truces, the massacres in Al-Jazira and Sennar during and after its participation in the Geneva meetings in August 2024, and the ongoing massacres despite its false declaration of a unilateral ceasefire.
