The urgency of the struggle for peace in Sudan
Unity among progressive and democratic forces is vital if the war-torn nation is to emerge from the years of conflict that erupted after the still-incomplete revolution of 2018, argues RASHID ELSHEIKH

THE Sudanese Communists Party (SCP), since its foundation in 1946, has adopted a peaceful and democratic road to achieve the objectives of national democratic revolution in Sudan. Peace and democracy are always interlinked in its struggle and programmes. 

During civil wars in Sudan (twice between South and North Sudan, the war in Darfur, the war in the eastern Sudan, and current conflict between the Sudan Armed Forces (SAF) and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), the SCP position was against war and for peaceful resolution and settlement through civil democratic means.

In facing the several military regimes and dictatorships, the Sudanese Communist Party always adopted peaceful means of resistance, depending on organising and mobilising the masses through demonstrations, political strikes and civil disobedience.
