On December 2nd, Africans Rising has invited people across the world to join a global mobilization via ActionNetwork.org to stand in solidarity with fellow Africans in Sudan who for the past 32 months have suffered many atrocities because of war, political instability and genocide.
The organization said since the war began in Sudan, over 150,000 people have been killed and more than 12 million have been displaced, marking the largest mass displacement in the world today.
They said the country is facing economic collapse, with the Ministry of Finance reporting an 80% drop in state revenues in 2024.
They said at the same time, famine is deepening, putting millions at risk of starvation. ‘Children have been subjected to rape, sexual violence and severe psychological trauma, while ethnic cleansing and genocide in Darfur were formally confirmed by the United States in 2024,’ Africans Rising said.
They have asked people to register their actions ,ties include writing letters to government officials in their country, hosting a webinar to raise awareness, screening a documentary on Sudan (documentary will be provided),hosting a community vigil, donating to support victims in Sudan, organizing a press conference, hosting an X (Twitter) Space, sending emails to African Union (AU) , United Nations (UN) and regional leaders demanding immediate action on Sudan, launching a poster campaign in your community or campus and making a Post on Social Media with the Hashtags: #DayOfSolidarityWithSudan2025 #SpeakAboutSudan #GenocideInSudan
Africans Rising said other small actions, multiplied across thousands of people, can move institutions and save lives.
Their slogan is Stand with Sudan. Speak about Sudan. Demand justice for Sudan.

As a Pan-African movement of people and organisations committed to unity, justice, peace and dignity, Africans Rising said it refuses to let Sudan disappear from the world’s attention.
They said their struggle is interconnected saying a crisis in Khartoum or Darfur is a crisis for the entire continent.
They said by declaring 2nd December a Day of Solidarity with Sudan, they aim to amplify Sudanese voices calling for peace, justice and dignity, pressure governments and international bodies to act on genocide, displacement and starvation, nobilise African movements to stand with the Sudanese people, highlight the resistance and resilience of communities in Sudan and the diaspora and break the silence and shift the narrative from pity to power.

The network said since April 2023, Sudan has been engulfed in a devastating war between the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF).
They said what began as a power struggle has become the world’s largest humanitarian emergency, and the most underreported.
