London Rally Demands Action as Sudan’s War Turns Deadlier

War

Hundreds flooded Downing Street Wednesday, waving Sudanese flags and chanting for urgent help as their homeland spirals into chaos.

The two-year civil war just hit a terrifying milestone: the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) now control all of Darfur, including El-Fasher the army’s final western bastion.

Fears mount that Africa’s third-largest country could shatter, echoing the 2011 South Sudan split after decades of bloodshed.

“Genocide by Emirati Weapons”

Protesters slammed the UAE for allegedly arming RSF leader Hemedti claims Abu Dhabi rejects.

RSF kills with UAE guns while the world watches,” shouted Elhussein Yassin. “Genocide rages we stand for our people!”

Ziyad Kashan fought tears:

“They torch homes, wipe out neighborhoods Bahri, Khartoum, gone. I can’t return. It breaks my heart.”

A Nation in Ruins

The conflict has:

  • Killed over 40,000
  • Displaced 14 million half children
  • Triggered the UN’s worst humanitarian disaster

Both RSF and Sudanese army face war crime charges for targeting civilians.

Call for Global Boycott

Demonstrators demanded:

  • Immediate ceasefire
  • UAE arms embargo
  • UN peacekeeping force

Signs read: “Stop Funding Genocide” and “Sudan Bleeds World Sleeps.”

Why El-Fasher Matters

Its fall cuts army supply lines, starves aid routes, and opens ethnic cleansing fears in Darfur site of 2003 atrocities.

London’s Message to the World

“Silence = Complicity,” protesters warned. As winter bites, millions face famine. One banner: “Save Sudan Before It’s Too Late.

Will the world act, or watch Sudan break?
