Press Release
O Loyal Members of the Army: Your Place is to Defend the Vulnerable from Women and Children
(Translated)

The General Administration of Displaced People and Refugee Camps reported the death of 66 children in Kalma Camp, South Darfur, as a result of malnutrition and lack of medicine for children, within one month, and the emergence of cases of polio and all children's diseases as a result of missing vaccination for an entire year, and the death of 38 elderly people within one month in Kalma camp, in addition to 6 deaths among pregnant women due to lack of food. (Al-Sharq Sudan, May 29, 2024).

The word “suffering” may not express the reality when talking about the reality of women and children in war conditions, whether during the past days or before. The suffering is still continuing at an accelerating pace, as the media reports, because they are often the victims, and they are the weakest group that needs real protection, not false protection, as stipulated in international laws that have bombarded us with slogans guaranteeing the rights of women and children, and providing them with all kinds of care and protection in peace and war, but it failed to apply that to reality, because these international laws are issued by the major powers that control the world, and wreak havoc, devastation, and destruction on the earth, and ignite wars, just as America ignited this accursed war in Sudan, and its despicable agents in our country.

The involvement of the army and Rapid Support Forces (RSF) in the battles is enough to destroy the health system, which is collapsing due to neglect and lack of care. There are no doctors, no hospitals capable of accommodating the sick, nor the wounded women and children, no treatment, no food, and it is no secret what pregnant women are exposed to during childbirth. In a country that suffers from a severe shortage of even the most basic elements of health care, almost non-existent, and in which women and children are subjected to collective punishment, because of their presence in a spot where agents of the capitalist Western countries are fighting, to establish their influence, without any consideration for the condition of the oppressed, whoever does not die from the artillery and air attack, will die of hunger and disease, after the shameful withdrawal of the so-called humanitarian organizations from El Fasher, due to the battles.

This is just the tip of the iceberg of what women and children suffer at the hands of their warring countrymen, who hope for America’s approval and permission to stop the war and sit in the faltering Jeddah negotiations, which America planned and is supervising, just as it did in the South Sudan war, and all they have to do is chat and laugh, as Ali Othman Muhammad Taha and John Garang did, and then sign the agreement, with their hands dripping with the blood of women and children!

This is a call to the loyal ones in the army. Does your blood not boil in your veins as you see the battles destroying us for the benefit of Allah’s enemies in their quest to control Sudan?! Does not the scenes of killing, slaughter, burning, and the non-stop violation of honor against women, children, and the elderly incite you?! Where are you regarding the oath you swore to protect the country and its people?! How are you able to leave your sisters and brothers this way? For whose benefit are you fighting? Where are those who burn with loyalty to their Deen and their Ummah?!

You did not swear by Allah to protect the rulers, so that is not your place here. Rather, your place is to defend the oppressed and the honorable.

Your role is to support the Truth (Haqq) and the Deen, to support those who want to restore the Shariah of Allah on earth. By establishing the Shariah of Allah on Allah’s earth, with a Khilafah Rashidah (rightly guided Caliphate) on the method of the Prophethood, cutting off the agents and hired mercenaries, so revolt for your honor and the blood of women and children, and be the supporters of Allah about whom Allah said:

[فَآَتَاهُمُ اللهُ ثَوَابَ الدُّنْيَا وَحُسْنَ ثَوَابِ الآَخِرَةِ]

“So Allah gave them the reward of this world and the excellent reward of the Hereafter.” [Aali Imran 3:148].
