The appeal, which supporters said would be sent in the coming days to the United Nations Special Representative in Sudan, Volker Perthes, focuses on the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces and former rebel groups that established a presence in the capital, Khartoum, after signing a peace deal in 2020.The letter asks the mission to develop an urgent plan to “initiate processes for reintegration, demobilisation and disarmament of the Rapid Support Forces and the armed movements”.
It also noted a pledge in July by the Head of Sudan’s ruling council, military leader, Abdel Fattah Al-Burhan, to step aside from political negotiations. No new prime minister has been named since the coup, while the letter says security forces continue to perpetrate “excessive and unprecedented violence” against peaceful protesters, with impunity.
