In fresh coverage published today, August 8, 2025, the Israeli daily Israel Hayom ran an extensive report by the renowned French philosopher and writer Bernard-Henri L\u00e9vy, under the headline:<\/p>\n

\u201cSudan, Land of Blood\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

The piece presents a direct, first-hand testimony from the heart of Sudan\u2019s war, offering a field report from Khartoum, El Geneina, and Ainya. L\u00e9vy recounts his visits to hospitals and frontlines, as well as his meetings with political and military leaders\u2014most notably the Chairman of Sudan\u2019s Sovereignty Council, General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan.<\/p>\n

A War the World Chooses Not to See<\/strong><\/p>\n

L\u00e9vy described Sudan as engulfed in \u201cthe most brutal civil war in the world,\u201d a conflict that receives neither attention nor meaningful coverage. He wrote:<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is a war where mass atrocities are being committed in silence, under the disgraceful indifference of the international community.\u201d<\/p>\n

He estimated the death toll at over 150,000\u2014three times higher than the casualties in Gaza\u2014while highlighting the staggering figure of 12 million displaced people, both within and outside Sudan, in what he called an ever-worsening humanitarian disaster.<\/p>\n

Meeting General al-Burhan<\/strong><\/p>\n

In a pivotal scene of his report, L\u00e9vy recounted his meeting with General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, whom he described as \u201ca man of the moment,\u201d stating:<\/p>\n

\u201cI met a leader who knows full well that he is waging a battle for the survival of the state\u2014not for power, but to protect Sudan from disintegration, partition, and foreign-backed militias.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to L\u00e9vy, al-Burhan stressed that the war was imposed upon them, and that they are fighting not only for Khartoum but for the unity and identity of Sudan itself.<\/p>\n

On the Frontlines<\/strong><\/p>\n

L\u00e9vy accompanied Sudanese forces in active combat zones, documenting what he saw:<\/p>\n

Young soldiers in camouflage, fighting with determination.<\/p>\n

Destroyed sites and collapsing health centers.<\/p>\n

Civilians enduring hunger, disease, and fear.<\/p>\n

He also met with Sudanese special forces units, praising their discipline and professionalism.<\/p>\n

A Call to the World<\/strong><\/p>\n

L\u00e9vy concluded his article with a forceful appeal to the world\u2019s conscience:<\/p>\n

\u201cIf such atrocities were happening in Europe, the earth would tremble. Why are the Sudanese left alone? Why this cowardly silence?\u201d<\/p>\n

He urged the international community to:<\/p>\n

Support Sudan\u2019s state institutions and legitimate authority.<\/p>\n

Halt external support for militias.<\/p>\n

Deliver urgent humanitarian aid.<\/p>\n

Launch international investigations into atrocities, particularly in Darfur and El Geneina.<\/p>\n

Conclusion<\/strong><\/p>\n

Bernard-Henri L\u00e9vy\u2019s report is more than a piece of journalism\u2014it is a moral indictment of global inaction, and a renewed effort to bring Sudan back to the forefront of international concern on both humanitarian and ethical grounds.<\/p>\n

It represents a rare acknowledgment from a prominent Western intellectual with influence over global public opinion: that what is unfolding in Sudan is not merely an internal struggle, but part of an international conspiracy led by the United Arab Emirates against the Sudanese state and society.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
