United Sudan Liberation Movement: Statement about racism in wake of George Floyd’s death

Freedom, Justice, Peace, Democracy.


The world witnessed with great concern the disturbing social unrest as protests have erupted across the United States following the death of Mr George Floyd, an unarmed black man, in police custody.


Systemic racism has to stop whether it is in the United States of America, Sudan or somewhere else.We must be guided by the essential principle that all people are equal and should be treated with respect and dignity regardless of race, gender, religion or ethnicity.


As we feel  deep sadness, profound anger and pain watching  the indigenous Sudanese people being killed on a daily basis due to Arabo-political islam racism, we similarly feel the remorse and anger watching black people being murdered in the USA. 

The issues of inequality, racism, discrimination and commission of heinous crimes against civilians can not be ignored. They must be combated. 


The chairman Ali Haroun Dood and the leadership council of the United Sudan Liberation Movement extend their heartfelt condolences to the people of The United State of America and the family of Mr George Floyd. We in Sudan know how it feels to lose loved ones. War crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide have been committed against millions of innocent people in Darfur, Nuba Mountain, Blue Niles, the former South Sudan and The Eastern Sudan. 


We urge the human rights activists and the international community at large not to be silent whenever and wherever human beings endure humiliation, racism and heinous crimes as it is currently the case in Darfur.


No place for heinous crimes, racism and discrimination.
