Statement on the Occasion of the Thirtieth of June Anniversary
On the seventh anniversary of the Thirtieth of June, we bow in reverence and gratitude to the souls of the revolution’s martyrs who gave their lives as sacrifice for a free homeland. We ask to bestow mercy upon them, grant speedy recovery to the wounded and injured, ensure freedom and safe return for the missing, and bring an end to the suffering of millions of Sudanese whom war has driven into displacement and asylum.
The Sudanese people rose up in the glorious December Revolution and renewed their pledge in the processions of the Thirtieth of June, demanding freedom, peace, and justice, and the establishment of a civilian democratic state that would end decades of military rule and autocracy, place power in the hands of the people, and lay the foundations for a state governed by law and institutions. Today, after years of war and destruction, the truth that the revolutionary forces warned of from the very beginning is coming to light. The military component’s insistence on monopolizing power, its clinging to political, economic, and military privileges, and its refusal to submit to civilian will were among the primary reasons that drove the country toward this catastrophic fate. Likewise, the parties that ignited the war and chose arms as a means to settle political conflict bear direct responsibility for the devastation that has befallen Sudan, for the lives that have been lost, the cities that have been destroyed, and the millions who have been displaced.
The war has proven the failure of the project of rule by the r***e and has exposed as false all the claims used to justify the militarization of the state. There is no victor in this war, and the greatest loser is the Sudanese people, who are paying the price for a power struggle that bears no relation to their aspirations for freedom, dignity, and a decent life.
We affirm that the December Revolution has not been broken, that its flame still burns in the conscience of the Sudanese people, and that war will not erase the people's demands nor grant any party a legitimacy not derived from the popular will. The revolutionary slogans of freedom, peace, and justice remain the only national project capable of leading Sudan out of its crisis.
We renew our unequivocal rejection of the continued hegemony of the military establishment over political life, and we reject impunity for the crimes and violations committed against civilians. We also affirm that true peace can only be achieved by ending the war, removing the military establishment from political affairs, and building a single, professional, national army that is subordinate to civilian democratic authority.
On this anniversary, we pledge to the martyrs of the revolution that we will continue on the path of peaceful struggle until all the goals of the December Revolution are fully realized, and until the state of freedom, peace, and justice is established—a state of equal citizenship, where there is no place for tyranny, coups, or the rule of weapons.
Glory and immortality to the martyrs of the revolution, speedy recovery to the wounded and injured, freedom for detainees and the missing, and safe return for the displaced and refugees.
No legitimacy except that which derives from the will of the people.
Long live the glorious December Revolution.
