The undersigned, La Via Campesina – ARNA, follow with much concern and unease the events that occurred in Sudan, after the bloody repression in the peaceful popular sit-in in front of the headquarters of the Transitional Military Council on June 3, 2019, which left more than 100 victims, hundreds injured and a large number of detainees; and then the unsuccessful attempts by the military leaders and the imperialist and reactionary forces of the region, who tried to contain the revolution of the Sudanese people through a supposed change at the top of the regime while its bases are being consolidated.

From La Via Campesina we express:

1. Our condemnation of the evident complicity between the Transitional Military Council and the imperialist and reactionary forces of the region, and of all the crimes committed against the Sudanese people who struggle for democracy, for a decent life and for their right to self-determination at the political, economic, social, etc. level.

2. Our call to put an end to all forms of repression, political crimes and restriction of the freedoms of which the Sudanese people and their living and democratic forces are victims, and whose aim is to oppose the revolution and plunge the country into a spiral of violence.

3. Our unconditional support for the revolution of the Sudanese people, their democratic demands and their legitimate aspirations.

4. Our appeal to all democratic forces and movements in the region and the world to support the Sudanese people, particularly during these difficult times.
