This is the situation regarding the people of the Nuba Mountains—both Muslims and Christians

The events that took place the day before yesterday at the Khartoum International Fair—where Sudanese churches of various denominations raised prayers for peace in the presence of the President and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces—merit special attention.

It was noteworthy that Sudanese churches—for the first time—declared their support for President Al-Burhan and his government, praying that they be granted the strength, wisdom, and resolve to lead the country and overcome its ordeal. Furthermore, the prayers for peace reflected an awareness of the reality on the ground: a state bearing the responsibility of caring for all, and a militia whose aggression spares no one. Thus, the commitment to the state went hand in hand with the plea for peace.

The address by the head of the Council of Churches was moving in its clarity and sincerity; he called for a moment of reverence to honor the sacrifices of those who made the return to the capital possible, and—in that same spirit—urged Sudanese expatriates to return, set aside discord, and participate in nation-building.

It is from this spirit that the path toward a new Sudan can begin—a nation underpinned by the sacrifices of its people and united by equal citizenship.
