Sudan Media Forum launches ‘#Silence Kills: No Time to Waste for Sudan’ campaign

The Sudan Media Forum (SMF), an alliance of independent Sudanese press and media organisations, today launched a new campaign, ‘Silence Kills: No Time to Waste for Sudan,’ to focus global attention on the ongoing violence and human rights violations occurring in Sudan. This campaign aims to mobilise international pressure to end the conflict and hold perpetrators accountable.

The launch coincides with the International Day to End Impunity for Crimes against Journalists observed on November 2 and builds upon the SMF*’s ongoing “#Stand With Sudan” campaign launched in April. “#Stand With Sudan” focuses on addressing the humanitarian crisis, preventing famine, and demanding safe passage for aid and relief supplies.

“Silence Kills: No Time to Waste for Sudan” seeks to:
• Raise global awareness of the ongoing crisis in Sudan and galvanise international support for the Sudanese people.
• Pressure warring parties to cease hostilities and end violations against civilians.
• Demand accountability for war crimes, crimes against humanity, ethnic cleansing, genocide, and violence against civilians.
• Ensure the safe delivery of humanitarian aid to all affected areas without discrimination.
• Amplify the voices of the Sudanese people and highlight their suffering.

Campaign Activities:
• Dissemination of reports on the humanitarian situation and human rights violations through the SMF’s joint editorial room and partner media outlets.
• Social media mobilisation to raise awareness, engage the Sudanese public, and promote widespread campaign participation.
