Berlin protesters condemn German inaction over ‘genocide in Sudan’
Protesters criticized the German government for its silence, saying Berlin has a “special moral and historical responsibility” to act
BERLIN (AA) — Hundreds of people rallied outside the German Foreign Ministry in Berlin on Friday to denounce what they called a “genocide in Sudan,” urging stronger action against atrocities in the Darfur region.
“The people of Al-Fasher are facing unspeakable war crimes. Entire communities are being wiped out while the world stays silent,” organizers said in a statement, calling for an end to the siege on the North Darfur city, accountability for perpetrators, and humanitarian access to civilians in need.
Protesters criticized the German government for its silence, saying Berlin has a “special moral and historical responsibility” to act.
“Germany claims to uphold values in its foreign policy, but those values must apply to Africa too,” one protester said, demanding a clear stance against ethnic cleansing in Darfur.
Earlier this week, Germany’s Foreign Ministry urged an end to “killings, rape, and torture” in Sudan after the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) seized control of Al-Fasher, warning that the RSF leadership would be held accountable for abuses against civilians.
