Sudan’s War: Charting a Path Toward the Future
“At the Geneva Press Club, the Nubian Center for Peace and Democracy renewed its call for a unified vision to end Sudan’s devastating war. In a country where millions endure displacement, hunger, and despair, peace cannot remain an aspiration-it must become an urgent global priority. Only through accountability, inclusive dialogue, and collective action can Sudanese civilians regain hope and chart a future rooted in justice, equality, and human dignity.”
Dr. Mohamed Saleh Yassin, Chairperson of the Nubian Center for Peace and Democracy (NCPD), took part in a dialogue organized by the Geneva Press Club in collaboration with Geneva Solutions, dedicated to addressing Sudan’s ongoing crisis and the urgent need to chart a path toward peace and a sustainable future.
The session, which brought together a distinguished group of experts and stakeholders, featured Dr. Yassin alongside Ms. Mona Rishmawi, member of the Independent International Fact-Finding Mission on Sudan mandated by the UN Human Rights Council. Together, they examined the humanitarian and political dimensions of a country worn down by cycles of conflict and too often left without adequate international support.
Moderated by Mr. Michel Lagrange of the Geneva Press Club, the discussion highlighted the resilience of Sudanese communities in the face of immense suffering, the centrality of accountability, the urgency of inclusive dialogue, and the need for a genuine peace process that places the plight of civilians at its very core.
Dr. Yassin stressed that the absence of a unified vision and sufficient international backing has deepened the suffering of millions of Sudanese. He called for the alignment of international and regional efforts with local initiatives to ensure Sudan’s transition toward a democratic future built on justice, equality, and human dignity.
This dialogue, part of a broader effort to shed light on globally neglected crises, reaffirmed that Sudan’s tragedy requires far greater international commitment. Yet, it also underscored that hope remains possible-through collective action and an unwavering resolve to build a just and lasting peace.
