Darfur:Alsudanianews
The Sudan Liberation Movement/Army (SLM/A) has issued an urgent appeal to the United Nations, highlighting the dire humanitarian situation in territories under its control. Following the outbreak of Sudan’s conflict in April 2023, SLM/A maintained neutrality, refusing to participate in the ongoing conflict. As a result, its territories became a safe haven, hosting over seven million Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) from Darfur, Kordofan, White Nile, Khartoum, Al Jazirah, and other areas of Sudan.
Subject: Urgent Humanitarian Appeal and Declaration of a Serious Humanitarian Disaster
Your Excellency,
In the aftermath of Sudan’s conflict outbreak in April 2023, the Sudan Liberation Movement/Army (SLM/A) has maintained stand of neutrality, mindfully refusing to be part in the ongoing conflict, consequently the territories under its control became safe heaven and among the safest ever places in the country as we hosted more than seven million Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) from Darfur, Kordofan, White Nile, Khartoum, Al Jazirah and other areas of Sudan.
On 21st of July 2025 initial cases of cholera epidemic were confirmed and which is spreading at an alarming rate that led the civil authority the civilian body of the movement on 27th of July 2025 to declare SLM/A liberated territories as zones of humanitarian disaster and therefore we are calling on the United Nations to: –
To recognize SLM/A controlled areas and Sudan as a whole as humanitarian disaster zones
Intervene immediately to swiftly combat cholera outbreak in areas with no healthcare facilities whatsoever
Open humanitarian corridors to ensure unimpeded delivery of aid to malnourished children, sick persons and all those in dire need.
Put pressure on all parties to the conflict to agree to a nationwide ceasefire.
Pressurize parties to the conflict to meaningfully engage in unconditional negotiation process
Strengthen efforts for the Sudanese – Sudanese dialogue and comprehensive peace process that address the root causes to Sudan’s protracted historical conflict.
Finally, through your esteemed office we also call upon the international community and all people of moral conscience across the globe to take immediate action to save millions of lives on the brink of sure death and do whatever it takes to restore rule of law, peace and stability in Sudan.
Please accept, your Excellency, the assurance of our highest consideration
