The Sudanese people are enduring one of the worst humanitarian crises in modern history, caught in a bloody and complex conflict involving both local and regional actors, with the Sudanese army at the forefront, facing serious accusations of horrific abuses against civilians and systematic destruction of the country’s infrastructure.

Tragic Conditions for Sudanese Amid Army Violations

While millions of Sudanese suffer from food shortages, lack of water and electricity, and the collapse of healthcare services, the Sudanese army continues to commit grave violations against civilians. Human rights and humanitarian reports confirm that army forces indiscriminately target residential areas, bomb homes and public facilities, causing thousands of civilian casualties, including women and children.

Forced displacement is accelerating at an alarming rate, with over 8 million people displaced since the outbreak of war in April 2023, according to United Nations reports. Most of them live in inhumane conditions in makeshift camps lacking basic necessities.

Destruction of Infrastructure and Worsening Suffering

The army’s crimes go beyond killings and terror; they include destroying vital infrastructure on which civilians depend for survival. Schools, hospitals, water and electricity networks have become military targets, bombed relentlessly in an attempt to break the will of the people and force them into submission.

These attacks have led to a near-total shutdown in many Sudanese cities, notably Khartoum and El-Fasher, where medical facilities are under siege, healthcare workers are blocked from providing care, and patients die due to lack of treatment.

The Sudanese Government and Media Blackout: Shifting the Focus Abroad

Amid this humanitarian catastrophe, the Sudanese government, led by the army, continues its media campaigns to divert international attention from its domestic crimes, portraying the conflict as a “war against rebellion” or a “fight with lawless militias.” The regime uses state media and foreign diplomacy to broadcast a distorted image of the conflict, while ignoring the fact that it is civilians who are paying the price.

Leaked reports from international organizations reveal systematic attempts to cover up evidence of the army’s use of internationally banned weapons, such as chemical weapons, during bombings of civilian areas, particularly in Darfur and western Sudan. Human rights organizations have documented mass suffocation cases and symptoms among civilians consistent with exposure to toxic chemical agents.

Targeting Civilians and Vital Facilities

The Sudanese Armed Forces continue to launch indiscriminate and direct attacks on civilian areas and vital infrastructure, including water and electricity stations, hospitals, and bakeries, in blatant violation of international humanitarian law. This strategy aims to punish the population for their political stances or subdue regions outside army control.

In North Darfur State, both local and international organizations documented an airstrike on a children’s hospital, resulting in the deaths of dozens of patients and medical staff, in total disregard of international treaties that protect medical facilities.

Sudan today is witnessing a war that spares nothing and no one — its fuel is the innocent, its weapon is unchecked violence, and its law is the breach of international norms. The silence of the international community over these violations encourages perpetrators to continue their crimes and jeopardizes Sudan’s future as a unified nation.

There is an urgent need for immediate action from humanitarian organizations and the international community to pressure all conflicting parties, especially the army, to stop the violations, open safe humanitarian corridors, investigate the use of banned weapons, bring perpetrators to justice, and restore hope to the Sudanese people who have become victims of a merciless war.
