General Discussion

1/2025

Today, we join 92 other organizations and experts in calling on the U.S. government to support the Sudanese people and halt the normalization of bilateral relations. Right now, Sudan is being rocked by widespread protests against the murderous Bashir regime. With protesters being killed, arrested, and tortured, the U.S. government should immediately freeze its already disastrous engagement plan with Sudan's dictatorship, as well as begin speaking out more forcefully against the Bashir regime.
