Paris, 17/06/2025
A demonstration in France’s Place de la République exposes the global silence surrounding Burhan’s massacres. From the heart of the City of Light Paris, on the hills of Place de la République—long a stage for popular resistance—the Sudanese stood united yesterday, refugees in front of the world. Not just refugees from their homeland, but also from a suspicious international silence, blinded by the smoke rising from the homes of innocents in Nyala, El Fasher, and Omdurman.
The scene was more than a protest; it was a hymn of mothers’ tears, the longing of exile, and a hope that floated in the gray sky above Paris. Banners waved like voices, and voices chanted like the souls of those who fell under bombs that did not distinguish between a school wall and a mosque corner. One voice resounded…!?
No to War Crimes.
No to Chemical Weapons.
No to Genocide.
Human rights organizations, along with the United Civilian Forces Alliance (UCF), justice activists, and civil society groups organized this protest as a moral act before being a political one .It is a cry of conscience against a war machine that has erased everything human from the map of Sudan. Among the participants were representatives of the Sudan Foundation Alliance (SFAA), including Abdelaziz al-Hilu’s Sudan People’s Liberation Movement-North (SPLM-N), Suleiman Sandal’s Justice and Equality Movement (JEM), and the Sudan Liberation Forces Alliance.
But this protest was not only a plea for an absent justice,it was a reminder that the Sudanese are still fighting not with weapons, but with perseverance and a will for change that has emerged since December 2018 and continues to shine despite betrayals, coups, and divisions.
The speakers carried in their words the pain of a nation and demanded one thing:
An independent, urgent international investigation into the crimes—especially the use of chemical weapons against civilians. This time no perpetrator will escape justice. For the murderers, only justice remains.
The war in Sudan is not a conflict between two armies; it is a systematic slaughter of people who want a change, a dream of a democratic and civil state, fueled by desires for social justice.
The war since April 15 th is an attempt to restore the Salvation of the regime, through the guns of Muslim Brotherhood militias or the tanks of a confused general. With every bomb a new martyr falls, and an old question arises…!?
How long will the world remain silent?
International institutions, which rush to the scene when oil or Western security is at risk, remain slow to respond to ethnic slaughter, look the other way at mass arrests, and ignore the use of poison gas in the 21st century against defenseless children and women.
This demonstration is not an isolated event ,it is a new chapter in a long struggle of a silenced people at home but unwavering in exile. Paris proved that the revolutionary flame still burn.The Sudanese are moving forward, toward a home that can accommodate all—a country of democracy, not tanks; of justice, not cronyism; of dignity, not decrees from the Sovereign Council.
The revolution is an idea—and an idea never dies.
Change is an attitude and a will.
The steadfastness of the free and the will of the brave are the forces that force change.
