The Sudanese National Observatory for Human Rights expresses its deep concern and strong condemnation of the continued political, military, and diplomatic support provided by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to the Sudanese army, at a time when grave violations against civilians are escalating across the country. The Observatory affirms that this support—based on verified reports, documented testimonies, and newly obtained video evidence showing the transfer of military vehicles and equipment—directly contributes to prolonging the war and obstructing efforts to reach a comprehensive humanitarian ceasefire.
The Observatory has received visual material confirming the movement of military convoys linked to external support channels, reinforcing the urgent need for an independent and transparent international investigation into the nature, routes, and impact of this assistance on Sudan’s rapidly deteriorating humanitarian situation.
The continued flow of military aid to any party involved in the conflict, amid widespread violations against civilians, constitutes a clear breach of international humanitarian law and undermines regional and international efforts aimed at halting hostilities and protecting the population. The Observatory stresses that providing weapons, equipment, or political and diplomatic cover to a party implicated in documented abuses may amount to indirect participation in those violations and warrants accountability.
The Sudanese National Observatory for Human Rights calls on the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to immediately suspend all forms of military, political, and diplomatic support to the Sudanese army and to uphold its international responsibilities in protecting civilians and preventing further escalation of the conflict. The Observatory also urges the international community to exert genuine and effective pressure to stop the war, establish an urgent humanitarian truce, open safe corridors for affected populations, and form an independent international investigative mechanism to examine external support and its impact on the trajectory of the conflict.
The Observatory reaffirms that the people of Sudan deserve a just and lasting peace—not additional fuel poured onto the fire of war—and that the protection of civilians must remain an uncompromising priority.
