The Attack on the Humanitarian Convoy in Mellit: A New War Crime Exposing the Bloody Face of the Islamic Movement

The city of Mellit witnessed a horrific crime when aircraft belonging to the army of the Islamic Movement targeted a humanitarian aid convoy on its way to civilians in desperate need. This was not a battle between two armed forces but a direct assault on innocent people waiting for medicine, food, and water. Once again, the Islamic Movement has proven that its weapons are aimed at the people themselves before its political rivals.

A Fully Fledged War Crime

The deliberate bombing of a humanitarian convoy can only be classified as a war crime and a blatant violation of international humanitarian law. The Geneva Conventions, which obligate warring parties to protect civilians and ensure the safe delivery of aid, leave no room for ambiguity. What happened in Mellit is a clear breach of these obligations and a dangerous signal that the Islamic Movement is pursuing a strategy of starving and bombarding the people to impose its dominance by force.

The Strategy of Violence to Crush the Revolution

Targeting humanitarian aid is not an isolated incident but part of a systematic approach the Islamic Movement has followed since the downfall of its regime. It does not hesitate to employ every immoral tool of war to derail the revolution and block the path to democracy: starving the population, obstructing relief efforts, and turning civilians into military targets. The message is clear: the movement is not merely at odds with its political opponents; it is at war with the very people who rose to demand freedom and dignity.

Exposing the Bloody Reality at Home and Abroad

This crime should serve as fresh evidence, both for Sudanese society and the international community, of the bloody nature of the Islamic Movement. Any group that deliberately attacks a humanitarian convoy cannot claim to represent or defend the people, nor can it credibly assert national legitimacy. Exposing and denouncing such actions is a moral and political duty to protect civilians and unmask the true essence of a project built on bloodshed and starvation.

Defending the Revolution and the Democratic Project

What happened in Mellit is more than an attack; it is a message to everyone who believes in the revolution and democracy: the struggle is far from over, and the enemies continue to use every possible tool to destroy it. Protecting the revolution today means safeguarding civilians, defending their right to life and dignity, and supporting all local and international efforts to guarantee aid access and prevent starvation from being weaponized.

The targeting of humanitarian convoys exposes the bloody face of the Islamic Movement and confirms that it is an enemy of the people before being an adversary of any other side. This war crime must be documented, prosecuted, and leveraged politically and in the media to reinforce the urgency of protecting the revolution and the democratic project. The Sudanese people, who rose to demand freedom, will not be broken by bombs aimed at their daily bread, nor will they accept that humanitarian aid becomes a battlefield.
