warring sides only serves imperialism and its interests in this war -
our comrades who fell in combat had no other choice but to take up arms
to defend themselves and their families." ---- Dear revolutionary
comrades around the world. --- You have followed the events in El Fasher
and their evolution through the platforms of groups involved in the
Sudanese revolution. However, we wish to share the following information
with you:
First, after paying tribute to our comrades who fought in El Fasher and
Khartoum and who carried the torch for the group high, we declare that,
although we categorically reject the principle of bearing arms-because
we know that arming one of the warring sides only serves imperialism and
its interests in this war-our fallen comrades had no choice but to take
up arms to defend themselves and their families. They did not belong to
any military faction before the war, and when the siege of El Fasher and
the Janjaweed attack began, they had no option but to defend themselves.
They fought alongside the People's Self-Defense Forces, who continued
the fight in the city even after the withdrawal of the Sudanese Armed
Forces' 6th Division command.
We have had no news of our comrades since September 9, 2025, but we
learned from their families, after they fled to camps for long-term
displaced persons, that they were martyred defending them. They were
defending themselves, exercising their fundamental right to life,
liberty, and dignity. The least we can do for these comrades is to take
care of their families, with whom the group maintains contact. These
families sleep on the bare ground, exposed to the scorching sun during
the day and the bitter cold at night. They also suffer from severe
malnutrition and a lack of access to healthcare. We are doing everything
we can to help their families in their memory.
Comrade Kahraba said he hated the Kalashnikov, but he hated even more
the loss of his freedom and the violation of his dignity.
We also wish to clarify that after losing contact with our comrades,
they were martyred on different dates, but we have been unable to
confirm this due to the suffocating siege and the communications
blackout. We fear reprisals by the Janjaweed against their families who
remain in the areas they control. Keeping their names forever etched in
our hearts and in the history of the liberation movement will be enough
to ensure we remember them.
We want to reassure you: while some of our comrades in the group are in
areas far from the armed conflict, there are still comrades in Sudan
itself who have not left the country and who continue to amplify the
group's voice internationally. There is no safe haven in Sudan, a
country on the brink of a civil war similar to Rwanda's.
The State and the Militias
The state and the Janjaweed militias have begun mobilizing thousands of
men for the imminent confrontation. If the war does not end, it will be
a humanitarian catastrophe, and millions of innocent people risk perishing.
Comrades on the path to liberation, revolutionaries of the world, the
direct struggle against authority comes at an exorbitant price: our
lives and our freedoms. Your comrades in Sudan have chosen not to be
silenced, and that is the very essence of revolutionaries. While we
yearn for peace, call for peace, and reject war, the most horrific
examples of racist authority, imperialist hegemony, and international
conflict are unfolding in Sudan. One of our comrades said, "The weapon
is the idea, and the idea is the weapon." Either you turn your idea
against your oppressor, or you die wielding it against yourself. This is
how we will live free or die as revolutionaries.
That is why we ask you to amplify support campaigns worldwide, because
our comrades have a claim on us. Their defense of El Fasher is a defense
of all revolutionaries. After the fall of El Fasher, Sudan will either
be divided into two military dictatorships or plunged into civil war and
rivers of blood.
Donate to support your comrades in Sudan. Glory and eternity to our free
revolutionaries!
