Why it matters:
The war in Sudan has triggered international outrage amid reports of mass killings, torture, and forced displacement. Activists say Western silence and continued arms sales make foreign governments complicit in crimes against the Sudanese people.
The big picture:
Fighting between Sudan’s Armed Forces and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) has devastated the country, killing thousands and displacing millions.
Activists claim that traces of British military aid have been found in Sudan and that the UAE’s support for the RSF is linked to its desire to control Sudan’s vast gold reserves.Demonstrators in London blamed the British government for indirectly supporting the genocide in Sudan by failing to halt arms exports.
What we're saying:
Muhammad, a Sudanese protester: “Western powers are the main supporters of this war. They fund and arm those killing our people.”
Natasha, an American tourist from Ohio who joined the protest, said: “words are not enough — people must take action.” That’s why I joined when I saw the march.”
Key points:
- The protest began at 10 Downing Street and moved toward the Foreign Ministry.
- Demonstrators blocked streets, calling on the U.K. to end arms sales to Sudan.
- Protesters later surrounded the OWO restaurant, where British MPs were meeting.
- The event ended peacefully after police arrived on the scene.
- Activists demanded immediate international intervention to stop the war.
