Initiative of the :
For Peace Sudan
For decades, since its independence in 1956, Sudan has suffered from the absence of a unifying national vision for its people. Various factors have contributed to this fragmentation, the consequences of which persist to this day. The true understanding of democracy as a system capable of accommodating the country’s ethnic, cultural, and religious diversity was never realized. Instead of being a source of strength, this diversity was undermined by the narrow-mindedness of successive Sudanese leaders, ultimately becoming a cause of Sudan’s disintegration. Tribal, partisan, and regional affiliations became the dominant forces in Sudan’s political arena, eroding the foundations of a cohesive Sudanese identity that could unite all its people.
“The democratic practice, which led to the fragmentation of sound political effort and the replication of parties that failed to bring the country to safety, rather, it led to the war that erupted on April 15, 2023.
And based on what has been mentioned, the Initiative for Peace is launched as a social, political, and intellectual incubator comprising numerous entities and members of diverse backgrounds, to reach the desired Sudanese state through comprehensive social reconciliation and an undiminished national consensus—paving the way for future generations to achieve their dreams and aspirations. The initiative presents its vision as a document upon which opinions, ideas, and alliances are built, leading to the modern civil state.
Concept
The Initiative for Peace is a social, political, intellectual, cultural, and economic endeavor that adopts dialogue as its core methodology to address national issues of concern to all Sudanese. It serves as an umbrella for initiatives that drive comprehensive reform, ultimately leading to the establishment of the desired civil state.
A modern Sudanese state, composed of a diverse society, united in citizenship, justice, and sustainable peace—where democracy thrives, institutions are strong, and the rights of all people are guaranteed under the rule of law.
