Sudanese women and men rejected and condemned the illegal, inhuman, brutal conscription of Sudanese youth who have been taken into the Nazi-like concentration camps of the NIF Congress ruling party to suppress our youth, enslave them, brutalize them, and pity them against their own Sudanese sisters and brothers in Southern Sudan, Nuba Mountains, Ingessana, DarFur, and Eastern Sudan where millions of Sudanese Muslim and non-Muslims peacefully co-exited for long centuries before evil of the Turabi's political organization made itself into a corrupted, terrorist ruling group that is still performing acts of genocide against Sudanese children and youth through the unabated escalation of the crazy acts of war.

The Women of Sudan have been protesting the savage war succeeding governments of Sudan pursued to eradicate the indigenous African races of Southern Sudan, Ingessana, and Nuba Mountains. Moreover, the Women of Sudan and the Women of the World campaigned more than ever to stop the savage uncivilized war-mongering that Al-Haraka Al-Islamiya rule of za'im Dr. Hassan Turabi and president Omer Bashir enforced since June 30, 1989 to this day on Ahl Al-Sudan, the war mongering that unrelentingly expanded war beyond Islam and international norms to embrace besides the Muslim or Christian Nuba, Ingessana, Nilotic, and Equatorians, the Muslim Beja, Fur, Massaliet, Zagawa, and many other Sudanic groups. All over Khartoum and the other cities of the country, the Ramadan Martyrs' Family League involved in a series of demonstrations to condemn the brutal massacres the Haraka government committed to kill army officers and regulars including those of the Ramadan (1990) Rectification Movement in a blatant defiance of the Muslims' holy month of Ramadan.

The Sudanese Women's Forum (Abroad) message to the OAU Summit in Addis Ababa (June 16, 1995) stated:

"We the mothers and children of Sudan have been crushed by the brutalities of civil war, famine, ethnic and religious persecution while our families are torn apart by all types of political persecution and the most grievous
and shameless human rights violations of the women's  and children's rights by the government of Sudan that is indeed nothing but a function of the anti-Sudanese ruthless, unfair, pro-terrorism, anti-women and anti-children National Islamic Front (NIF)."

"We the mothers and children of Sudan, children of the great Continent of Africa, ask you in the promising Day of the African Child to stop war and all armed conflict, to spread civil rights and public freedoms, insure political, economic, and cultural rights, commit your States in practical terms to the children's rights, and apply the African Charter on Peoples' and Humans' Rights. We strongly urge you to adhere closely to all these international and regional charters and covenants. We ask your wise governments to put all pressure on the government of Sudan, in particular, as well all of the other regimes that do not respect the rights of children and the other citizens, not to destroy childhood and motherhood or suppress the values of goodness, peace, and construction. We urge you to abandon any confiscation of rights or curtailment of freedoms. We require that you cease bombarding our homes. We demand you stop all unwise spending on security of regimes or rulers instead of the necessary spending on food, education, health, social welfare, cultural socialization, nation-building, and democracy."

Another memorandum by the Forum on March 8, 1997, the Women's International Day, was a real voice of Sudan's women as it condemned in the strongest terms "the dehumanizing policies and shameless practices of the NIF ruling party." The Forum unmasked the hidden truth of the regime as the women directly addressed themselves to the Haraka president, Omer Hassan Al-Bashir with these words:

"We urge you in the name of the People of Sudan whom you have been recklessly ruling for 8 years to step down of authority for the failure and incompetence your rule is suffering despite of the support you are having from the NIF fascist gangsters, the pretenders who claim they are implementing the Shari'a of God."

You have committed the worst crimes against the People of Sudan including extra-judicial killing, displacement, starvation, and tortures. You were happily listening to the suffering of women while watching the weeping of widows and the tears of the orphans and suppressed groups."

The economy and finance of Sudan was devastated by your rule. Corruption ruled over morality. Sudanese imports declined, and business contracts were all placed in your hands and those of your relatives and friends. Favoritism thus became the slogan of your regime as it spread all over the State."

You fought the women. You suppressed the women. Weren't you born by women? You look down on women with suspicion. You defamed the honest and respectful women at the time your own opportunist women supporters were allowed all freedoms to enjoy work, free movement, and the right to assembly."

The Sudanese Women's Forum (in exile) documented the horrible crimes of the Haraka Islamiya rule of Sudan with this straightforward testimony:

"Since the seizure of power by the NIF military coup, our country continued to witness a wide range of violations in all aspects of life. These violations included all sections of the population: men, women, and children. The tortures that hit the women under the Turabi/Bashir regime with the intensity they carried with them ascertained the deep hostility of the concepts and thought of Hassan Al-Turabi's Group versus the People of Sudan, in general, and the fertility of mankind, the women, in particular.

History will write in block letters that the Hassan Turabi's Group imprisoned, tortured, killed, and put in destitution the women of Sudan. That the Group imposed restrictive laws that curtailed the freedom of women and placed them in caves of darkness. History, nonetheless, will put in record that Sudanese women resisted this reaction with bravery that frightened the torturers and the enemies of women. History will glorify the women martyrs of the Sudanese Women's Movement."
