Press Statement

The people of Al-Fashir are between the hammer of war and the anvil of hunger, and there is no salvation for them except with the Khilafah State

The city of Al-Fashir, the capital of North Darfur State, is witnessing a real humanitarian catastrophe amidst battles between the warring parties, where dozens of civilians have been killed in the past few days, while the population has been suffering from a suffocating siege for more than a year, and deliberate starvation, amid suspicious international silence, as the United Nations confirmed the killing of at least 89 people in clashes in the past days.

What is happening to our people in Al-Fashir; of killing, terrorizing and starvation, is a reprehensible matter in Islamic law, and an unforgivable crime, and if the Rapid Support Forces bear its sin, as they are the ones besieging the civilians, bombing them with their artillery, and preventing them from food and water, then the state's responsibility is greater, as it is responsible for its citizens, according to his saying ﷺ: "The Imam who is over the people is a shepherd and is responsible for his flock." It is also responsible for providing food, shelter and security, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, says: "Whoever among you wakes up safe in his home, healthy in his body, having his day's food, it is as if the world has been brought to him." However, the state has abandoned its responsibility, and has gone to beg the United Nations and its organizations, as Prime Minister Kamel Idris said that he had asked the Security Council to use its legal authority to end the ongoing siege of the city of Al-Fashir for more than 500 days, and he knows that the responsibility is his responsibility, then the United Nations had issued, through its Security Council, Resolution No. 2736 on June 13, 2024, with the support of 14 members and Russia abstaining from voting, this Council adopted a resolution demanding that the Rapid Support Forces stop their siege of Al-Fashir, the capital of North Darfur State in Sudan, and calling for an immediate cessation of fighting, de-escalation in and around Al-Fashir, and the withdrawal of all fighters who threaten the safety and security of civilians, and this resolution has not been implemented despite the passage of more than a year since its issuance! Which confirms that the party that is managing the war does not want this siege to end except with the fall of Al-Fashir, so that all of Darfur is pure in the hands of the Rapid Support Forces, and ready for secession, according to what America wants, which plans to tear Sudan into five small states, and has started with South Sudan.

The government must immediately send all its armies in order to break the siege of Al-Fashir, and follow that with convoys of food and medicine, as this is what the right of care legally requires, and it is also what requires thwarting America's plan to separate Darfur.

O our people in Sudan: The radical cure for all our tragedies in every part of our country, but rather the cure that eradicates the roots of the disbelieving West from our country, and thwarts the conspiracies of America and the colonial countries, seeking to tear Sudan apart, the cure for all of that is the principle of Islam, applied by its Khilafah State on the method of Prophethood.

So come and work with Hizb ut-Tahrir to establish the second Rightly-Guided Khilafah on the method of Prophethood; your Lord’s obligation and the source of your glory.

﴿O you who have believed, respond to Allah and to the Messenger when he calls you to that which gives you life. And know that Allah intervenes between a man and his heart and that to Him you will be gathered.﴾
