Press Statement: On the Janjaweed Militia Crimes in Sudan

By Hassan Baseer — Sudanese Green Crescent, Omdurman, Sudan — April 2026
The Janjaweed militia is an armed group with no regard for human life. They operate without a homeland, without families, and without any civilian or professional structure. They are identified by their desert dialect, their disregard for civilians, and their use of violence as a first and only tool.
Over the past period, these militias launched systematic attacks on Sudanese cities with the aim of imposing a forced demographic, economic, and social settlement plan. The people of Sudan rejected this plan and resisted with all available means.
In response, the militias carried out brutal assaults fuelled by drugs and hate, targeting civilians with heavy gunfire. Despite limited resources, Sudanese citizens defended their communities with legendary resilience. The result was catastrophic: more than 200,000 civilians killed, with thousands more dying in displacement camps due to lack of food, medicine, and shelter. Women, children, and the elderly were among the main victims.
These acts constitute crimes of genocide and crimes against humanity. Yet the international community and human rights organisations have failed to properly classify these militias as terrorist groups and have largely ignored the suffering of the Sudanese people.
The people of Sudan have shown remarkable patience in defending their dignity and protecting their families through forced displacement and immense hardship.
Call to Action
We call on the international community to:
Officially designate the Janjaweed militias as a terrorist organisation.
Open urgent investigations into genocide and war crimes committed in Sudan.
Provide immediate humanitarian aid to displaced persons and affected communities.
Silence in the face of these crimes is complicity.
