Why Sudan

  • Nowhere on the planet is the humanitarian crisis worse than on the border created after South Sudan gained independence from Sudan. Nowhere on Earth is a governing dictatorial regime accused of more crimes against humanity, including genocide, than in this area.
  • Nowhere else have the mainstream media, independent reporters, UN agencies and non-governmental humanitarian organizations more disregarded their mission than here.
  • There is nothing mankind is more persistently shutting its eyes to than the truth about the situation in the Sudanese provinces, populated mainly by the indigenous African population that remain north of the undefined border in what is left of the old Sudan after the secession of South Sudan on 9 July 2013.
  • Nowhere else is the battle of global forces for control over natural resources fought more secretly and on the backs of cheaper slaves. Nowhere else have the aboriginal inhabitants, who are being wiped out, managed to preserve cultures that are more indigenous, more primeval and more in tune with nature than in the areas that lie between the biggest desert, the Sahara, and the biggest swamps in the world.
  • Nowhere else has the international community made greater sacrifices than here, on the sacrificial altar of the world. One such sacrifice was made at the end of 2013 in the provinces of Blue Nile, the Nuba Mountains, Abyei and Darfur. These facts along with the twenty visits that have been made since 1979 are the reason why we at the Tomo Križnar Foundation and the H.O.P.E. Humanitarian Foundation, together with friends and supporters from Sudan, Europe and America, have started a campaign that can help prove the connection between the victims of violence and their attackers using video cameras, flying cameras and satellite internet modems, thus making it possible to publish this information on the internet.
  • It’s time we stop wondering who is right and start realizing what is right. It’s not right that the children, women and elderly of the last aboriginal peoples in the world suffer so much because the “big ones” cannot agree which way the oil should flow and who will make more profit from the natural resources found in the ground beneath the feet of the innocent indigenous peoples.
  • It’s time we realize that the governing dictatorial regime in Sudan and its murderous accomplices are not the only ones to blame for the suffering and dying of innocent people. War profiteers from the East and the West are also guilty of this crime. And each one of us who knows about the suffering in Sudan and does nothing to help stop it, is also an accomplice.
  • All human beings, regardless of their skin colour, religious beliefs or the country they were born in or where they live, have the right to live a dignified life. Or at least to survive. This is especially true for the innocent indigenous inhabitants of Sudan, who have been dying for decades because of other people’s greed.

War zones in Sudan where H.O.P.E. operates:

THE NUBA MOUNTAINS

In ancient Egyptian, Nuba means slave. The Nuba Mountains are the mountains of slaves, where for centuries caravans of slave raiders would travel to hunt the strongest and healthiest Africans.  

DARFUR

 Indigenous black peoples of Darfur have been warning about exploitation and marginalization since the 1960s, but this only led to even more violence, attacks and later to systematic extermination.

BLUE NILE

The peace agreement was orchestrated by the USA and the EU after 21 years of war that took the lives of more than 2 million members of indigenous African tribes.

OTHER AREAS

On 14 December 2013 a new war broke out in the newly-independent Republic of South Sudan, less than two years after the declaration of its independence.
