For Peace
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.
The initiative aims to promote dialogue and build bridges of trust through clear action programs that pave the way for achieving lasting peace.
