Sudan – The Coordination of Democratic Civil Forces (Taqaddum) warned of the fragmentation, division, and complete disappearance of the Sudanese state if the war continues in the country, and announced the presentation of a vision to end this war.
This came in a final statement issued yesterday, Friday, by the coordination led by former Sudanese Prime Minister Abdullah Hamdok, following meetings of its leadership body in the Ethiopian capital, Addis Ababa.
The statement said, “We are only a few days away from the April 15 War completing its first year, a war that has not and will not bring anything but devastation, division and destruction to our country.”
He stated that the war led to the deaths of tens of thousands of civilians and soldiers, displaced millions of them, destroyed infrastructure and military capabilities, and tore apart the social fabric.
The statement added, “The specter of famine is now rearing its head, threatening millions of Sudanese from hunger.”
