During the second Sudanese civil war that went on for 22 years, Omar al-Bashir assumed power in 1989. Al-Bashir is the first and only officiating president worldwide who is wanted for genocide, war crime and crimes against humanity. Unimpeded by the UNAMID stationed in Darfur, the regime committed numerous human rights violations, such as expulsions of whole villages, aimed destructions of livelihoods, arbitrary torture, execution, abuse and mass rape in Darfur, South Kordofan and Blue Nile.

Report of Sudanese refugee’s action in Sudanese embassy in Berlin

Sudanese refugee’s action in Sudanese embassy in Berlin

We are eleven refugee-activists from Berlin-Oranienplatz and Hannover-Weissekreuzplatz. On November 19th 2015 we entered the Sudanese embassy in Berlin at 12pm to protest inside and to talk to the embassador about the situation in Sudan. The Sudanese embassador refused to talk to us and the staff called the police. We went to the window, opened it and held our banner against Omar Al-Bshir outside for everyone to see „murderer, assasinator, leave!“. Inside the embassy we didn’t break anything or hurt anyone. We just came to talk peacefully to the embassador. When the police came they told us that they would lead us to the Sudandese embassador, but instead they led us outside and closed the door. So we continued our protest outside near the entrance of the embassy. We spontaneously registered a rally for three hours. We handed out flyers to passer-bys and shouted our demands: „Al-Bshir to ICC!“, „Stop the war in Sudan!“ „Yes for peace, no for war!“. The police took down our personal data. At around 3 pm we finished our protest and left. But we will continue our fight for a free and democratic Sudan!

Declaration of refugee activists about the occupation of the Sudanese Embassy on November 19th 2015 in Berlin

We are Sudanese refugees and activists who have today decided to occupy our Sudanese embassy in Berlin. This is peaceful, direct political action.

We are taking a stand against the Sudanese regime.

The Sudanese dictator, Omar Hassan al-Bshir, rose to power in 1989 in a bloody military coup. He is a war criminal who has been summoned to the International Criminal Court on charges of genocide in Darfur, Blue Nile and the Nuba Mountains.

Al-Bshir leads an Islamic regime in Sudan that instigated the longest war ever waged in Africa. Al-Bshir persecuted the South Sudanese in the name of religion. As a result of this war, Sudan has now been split into two countries.

Although the war has ended, crimes against political activists are ongoing. The Sudanese people are still being unlawfully detained, tortured and murdered.

On 29^th September 2015, the High Commissioner for Human Rights in Geneva stated that the Sudanese regime is still guilty of human rights abuses, such as detainment without charge, torture and even the murder of demonstrators in September 2013.

As Sudanese activists in Germany, we make these demands to Sudan, to Germany, and to the International Criminal Court:

1. Extradite al-Bshir and the high officials of the Sudanese regime to the International Criminal court – so that they may stand trial for war crimes and genocide.

2. Germany must break its commercial ties with, and economic support for, Sudan. This support funds genocidal action.

3. The German authorities must grant asylum to all Sudanese refugees in Germany.

4. Close down the Sudanese embassy in Berlin, because it does not support the rights and needs of the Sudanese people.

These demands are made with a vision for a peaceful, safe and democratic Sudan.

With a peaceful Sudan, we will no longer need to be standing here as refugees.

Demo on June 16th: EU stop killing refugees! -Norway, stop the collaboration with the Sudanese Dictatorship!

Call for Action at the Norwegian embassy in Berlin on June 16th, 1pm

Norway collaborates with the Sudanese Dictator Omar Al Bashir to enable him to kill and torture members of the oppositional groups:
About one month ago Oslo hosted delegates and members of Omar Al Bashir Militia and National Intelligence Security Services (NISS) – they covered them under the title authorities for Sudanese Interiors Affairs). Their mission was to facilitate the deportation process of political activists and victims of the war in Darfur. Norway imprisoned about 20 of those refugees from Sudan in Oslo, and they already deported six of them back to Sudan. Insiders confirmed that two of them were arrested immediately after their arrival in Sudan and that they are kept in NISS’ jails until now. Noone knows about their situation in prison. The other two had been arrested and tortured for 8 hours before they were released. The last two disappeared.

Demo against the dictatorship in Sudan

  Hey krimineller Diktator! – Über 350 Demonstrant_innen haben am 14.02.2015 in Berlin gemeinsam mit den Refugees vom Weißekreuzplatz Hannover vor der sudanesischen Botschaft gegen die Zusammenarbeit der deutschen und der sudanesischen Regierung protestiert. Sudanes_innen und Unterstützer_innen aus ganz Niedersachsen waren dazu mit zwei voll besetzten Bussen angereist. Nachträgliche Auflagen der Polizei untersagten die Abschlusskundgebung direkt vor dem Botschaftsgebäude, das mit einem hohen Polizeiaufgebot abgeriegelt wurde. Die Kundgebung musste auf der anderen Straßenseite etwa 15 Meter entfernt durchgeführt werden, von wo aus die Refugees ein Ende der Diktatur Omar Al-Bashirs forderten.
