The British state is trying to pose as a peace-maker in Sudan after nearly two years of war have torn the country apart.
The Labour government announced on Thursday that it will hold a conference in London on 15 April with foreign ministers from nearly 20 states. That will mark the second anniversary of the civil war between the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF).
The two warring factions, which are backed by imperialist and regional powers, drowned in blood the revolution that began in 2018.
Britain has invited some of the powers arming the generals, including Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, to a “peace conference”.
The move is another act of hypocrisy by the British state. Britain and the United States helped thwart the popular forces driving the revolution, and pushed for deals being done with the generals.
Scenes of horror stalk the streets of Khartoum in the wake of the SAF capturing the country’s capital on Thursday of last week.
The SAF, led by General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, formally declared that it had taken back the city last week. But this wasn’t a military victory over the rival RSF, which had agreed to withdraw its forces under SAF observation.
