Having studied Human Rights Law, I feel compelled to express my deep sadness over the current situation in Sudan. The government, whose primary responsibility is to protect the rights of its citizens and uphold the law, is instead perpetrating egregious violations of those very same rights. The fundamental human rights to life, security, and freedom are being threatened and undermined by the actions of the Sudanese military and paramilitary forces. This constitutes a clear breach of international human rights laws and must be addressed immediately.
Our families in Sudan are living in constant fear for their lives and the lives of their loved ones. The lack of basic necessities such as electricity and water for two days, coupled with the difficulty of accessing necessary medical treatment, is intolerable. The destruction of the property without recourse to punitive remedies or compensation only adds to the suffering.
Every person has the right to live in peace and security, free from fear and oppression.
Therefore, the international community must take action to hold those responsible accountable for their actions, they should not stand by and watch as innocent civilians are subjected to such atrocities.
May Allah protect all of our families and loved ones in Sudan during this trying time. Let us stand together in solidarity and pray for salvation 🙏.
