Amman – Sudanhorizon
The General Secretariat of the General Conference of Arab Parties affirmed its full support for Sudan in facing the “project of colonialism, settlement, and Western-Zionist hegemony sought to be imposed through war” and called for the classification of the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) militia as a terrorist organization.
The Secretary-General of the Arab Parties Conference, Qassem Saleh, stated in a press release issued on Friday regarding the latest developments, a copy of which was obtained by the Sudanhorizon news site: “The General Secretariat of the Arab Parties Conference has been closely monitoring the developments in Sudan since the outbreak of the war imposed upon it in mid-April 2023. It has observed the strategic goal of the Western-Zionist ambitions to dominate and control this Arab country, rich in history, positions, and capabilities, with support from certain regional countries that provided funds, weapons, and mercenaries gathered from various African countries in the West, Central, and East Africa, and even from parts of Asia.”
He continued: “The Secretariat also noted the support from these countries for the relocation of settlers from African nations to Sudan, aiming to effect a radical demographic change replicating the Zionist settlement experience in Palestine.”
The statement highlighted the Secretariat’s observation of recent developments in Sudan, where the Sudanese national army, popular resistance, and joint forces have made significant progress across operational theatres, reclaiming several towns and regions as part of their ongoing efforts to recover all territories occupied by the RSF militia and to complete the liberation process.
The statement continued: “This progress on the battlefield has led to a serious collapse within the militia ranks, with some military leaders and senior advisors surrendering. In reaction to this pivotal development in the war, the RSF militia began committing horrific massacres against civilians in Al-Jazeera State, resulting in hundreds of casualties among children, women, and older people and displacing tens of thousands from their villages and towns in preparation for ongoing demographic changes that have been underway for five years. These massacres were accompanied by, and preceded by, systematic destruction of infrastructure, burning of crops, agricultural machinery, production facilities, and attacks on research centres, educational institutions, healthcare facilities, and other public services.”
The General Secretariat stated that it observed efforts by Western and regional powers, with local support, aiming to introduce international or African forces into Sudan, violating its sovereignty and attempting to halt the progress of the army and popular resistance forces in completing the liberation process.
The statement warned against replicating the Zionist project in Palestine within a second Arab nation, Sudan. It highlighted the strategic risks of this project on the present and future of Sudan, Arab and regional security, and international relations at a time when the free world seeks a new balance to counter Western dominance and unilateralism.
The statement called on Arab countries and peoples to strengthen their support for Sudan as it faces this existential challenge created by the war, its objectives, and its perpetrators, supporters, and tools.
It also urged China, Russia, the BRICS alliance, and all free world nations to increase their political and logistical support for Sudan and its institutions to enhance its capabilities in countering the war and its effects.
The statement appealed for widespread Arab, regional, and international support against all forms of Western-Zionist interference in Sudan, including the introduction of international or African forces into the country.
It suggested joint efforts among Arab, Sudanese, and international entities to ensure that those responsible for war crimes, ethnic cleansing, and crimes against humanity committed in Sudan during this war do not escape justice, emphasizing that accountability should extend to states and governments that played a role in the catastrophe that Sudan has suffered during this conflict.
