The international humanitarian organization Sedra has called for the urgent separation of the humanitarian track from the political track, stressing that political processes and military solutions are inherently slow and ever-changing, while “dying bodies do not have the luxury of waiting.”
In its statement, the organization noted that the unprecedented humanitarian catastrophe unfolding in Sudan—with rising casualty numbers, expanding hunger and displacement, and the near-total collapse of basic life systems—can no longer wait for political or military solutions to mature, as such pathways are by nature long, complex, and uncertain.
Sedra revealed that it has submitted a detailed proposal to UN agencies, international humanitarian bodies, and both local and global civil society organizations, urging them to formally separate the humanitarian response from political negotiations in Sudan.
