A New Dawn for Syria: The Fall of the Assad Regime

By Abdulsalam Dallal On 8 December 2024 in the early morning, people in the streets and a mosque in Damascus announced: “saqat bashar al-kalb” (Bashar, the dog has fallen).

The Illusion of Choice: Why People Should Reject Both Sides of the War in Sudan

The Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) economic monopolies are direct and deliberate barriers to any possibility of democratic governance. These institutions are not just tools of repression but instruments of systemic plunder, reinforcing a cycle of violence and exploitation that crushes revolutionary aspirations.

Sudan Solidarity Conference 2024
Three years after the military coup: resisting war, building solidarity

Join leading Sudanese activists for this online meeting marking three years since the military coup of October 2021, which saw the leaders of the two principal militias – the Sudanese Armed Forces and the Rapid Support Forces – overthrow civilian members of the Transitional Government. We will discuss how revolution turned to counter-revolution and war and how activists from the Sudanese Resistance Committees responded by organising Emergency Rooms to provide basic supplies. We will also hear about the struggles of trade unionists and campaigners to keep organising for survival and against war. This meeting will bring voices from the frontline of a marginalised and ignored conflict, which is being fuelled by regional powers competing for influence over Sudan’s rich resources and call for solidarity with the Sudanese people’s struggle for freedom, peace and justice.

Global Protests Demand Justice for Sudan, Condemn the 2019 Massacres and Call for the War to stop

A global wave of solidarity surged on Saturday, June 1st, as thousands flooded the streets of major cities worldwide. London, Manchester, Cardiff, Oxford, Edinburgh, Belfast, Cologne, Toronto and beyond, bore witness to a unified call for justice and peace in Sudan. The demonstrators gathered to commemorate the horrific events of June 3rd 2019, when the Sudanese Army, Rapid Support militia, police forces, and the now-defunct Muslim Brotherhood regime’s militias unleashed a coordinated attack on peaceful revolutionaries across Sudan.  The day marked a dark chapter in Sudan’s history, as countless lives were lost, women and men were subjected to unspeakable violence, and the Nile River became a chilling burial ground.

Statement on the 5th Anniversary of the 2019 Sudanese Massacres and the Ongoing War in Sudan

Five years on from the June 3rd massacres, Sudan remains mired in war, exposing the deep ties between the state and global capitalism. State violence against revolutionaries highlights the lengths the ruling class will go to maintain power. The 2019 massacres and ongoing war are manifestations of capitalism’s inherent violence. Despite this, the 2018 revolution achieved significant milestones, including grassroots organising and the toppling of dictator Omar al-Bashir. This demonstrates the Sudanese people’s resilience and determination to shape their own future, inspiring revolutionary movements worldwide.
