The EFF’s Statement Condemning the Escalating Conflict and Massacres in Sudan

- This war, unfortunately goes beyond the internal; it is sustained and complicated by foreign interests. The United States, Europe, and Middle Eastern states continue to pursue their own economic and geopolitical agendas, supplying weapons, financing proxies, and influencing negotiations while ordinary Sudanese people suffer. The United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia have deep stakes in Sudan’s gold and agricultural land, while Western powers eye its strategic position along the Red Sea and its resources.

These forces treat Sudan as a pawn in their imperial games, with little regard for the suffering of its people. Therefore, the silence of the so-called international community in the face of mass killings and starvation highlights their complicity and lack of care and empathy for black people.
