Protest in front of the Foreign Office in Berlin (October 31)

The Society for Threatened Peoples (STP) and the Salam Sudan Campaign are jointly calling for a protest in front of the Foreign Office in Berlin. Under the slogan “Stand with Sudan – Stop the massacres in El Fasher!”, a protest against the ongoing atrocities in Sudan will be held on Friday, October 31, 2025, from 3 to 5 p.m.

"The people of El Fasher, Darfur, are exposed to unspeakable atrocities and war crimes. Entire communities are being wiped out while the world remains silent,“ the organizers appeal in their call to action. ”Bring your voices, your banners, and your solidarity!" The vigil is aimed at everyone who wants to take a stand against genocide, ethnic cleansing, and crimes against humanity in Sudan.

For days, El Fasher, the capital of North Darfur, has been completely under the control of the Rapid Support Forces (RSF). Eyewitness reports and local sources report mass executions, expulsions, and systematic violence against the civilian population. Thousands of people are fleeing. According to the Sudanese STP partner organization Bana Group for Peace and Development, all patients at the Saudi Maternity Hospital in El Fasher have been executed.

"Since October 25, 2025, thousands of people have left El Fasher. The internet has been shut down. We have no information about where these people are. We are in contact with people in the surrounding areas of Garni, Tora, Tawila, and the refugee camp there. The refugees were expected to arrive there, but so far almost no one has arrived," says Sarah Reinke, head of human rights work at STP. Thousands of people are currently believed to be held in villages such as Shagart, Um Galbagh, and Kwem.

The organizers are demanding:

• An immediate end to the siege of El Fasher
• Prosecution of war crimes and accountability for the perpetrators
• Protection of the civilian population and unrestricted humanitarian access

The human rights campaign is organized by the Salam Sudan Campaign, an alliance of Sudanese initiatives in Berlin that campaigns for peace, justice, and human rights in Sudan.
