Global Nonviolence Organization Condemns Violence Against Civilians in Al-Fashir
…………
The Global Nonviolence Organization (Freemuslim Association) strongly condemned the escalating violence against civilians in Al-Fashir, North Darfur, Sudan, describing the attacks as serious violations of international humanitarian law and gross breaches of human dignity.
The organization highlighted reports indicating deliberate targeting of civilians, including women and children, widespread destruction of infrastructure, and the displacement of thousands of families. It warned that these violations pose a threat to peace and security across the region.
Grounded in principles of justice, compassion, and nonviolence, the organization stressed that there is no religious or ethical justification for excessive violence against innocent people and expressed deep concern over the humanitarian crisis affecting Al-Fashir residents due to intensified military operations.
The group called on the international community and all warring parties to take immediate action to enforce a ceasefire, ensure civilian protection, and safeguard critical facilities such as hospitals, schools, and displacement camps. It also urged the establishment of safe humanitarian corridors to allow aid delivery and protect humanitarian workers.
Emphasizing the need for accountability, the organization demanded an independent and impartial investigation into violations, including potential war crimes and sexual assaults, and urged perpetrators to be prosecuted before the International Criminal Court.
Finally, the statement called on regional and international actors to support peace initiatives and encourage Sudanese parties to engage in serious negotiations to achieve a lasting political solution, restore security, and uphold human rights. The organization reaffirmed its commitment to stand with the Sudanese people and promote peace, justice, and nonviolence amid the ongoing crisis.
