Model Motion – Stand with Sudan: Stop the war, support the people
On Saturday, January 13, 2024, a staggering 500,000 angry people flooded the streets of London, united in a passionate demand to stop the ongoing genocide in Palestine and seek justice for the Palestinian people. The demonstration garnered support from various communities and organisations, reflecting a growing global movement against the injustices occurring in the region.
On the fifth anniversary of the Sudanese revolution of 2018, we, the undersigned, stand united in our solidarity with the Sudanese people, whose unwavering determination against the oppressive forces of dictatorship has inspired millions worldwide. Our hearts go out to the workers, students, women, and men who have and are still courageously fighting for freedom, peace, and justice, carrying on a legacy of resistance that can be traced back to Sudan’s struggle for independence from British colonial rule in 1956.
A message of solidarity from Sudanese unions and organisations:
