Mashad Organization is following with deep concern and strong condemnation the reports from credible field sources and consistent eyewitness testimonies, revealing the involvement of armed Libyan groups in providing systematic military and logistical support to the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), which are implicated in horrific violations against civilians in Sudan. These include mass killings, ethnic cleansing, forced displacement, and sexual violence — in blatant violation of international humanitarian law, the UN Charter, and a direct infringement on Sudan’s sovereignty and independent national decision-making.
This foreign military support, facilitated through Libyan territory, constitutes a hostile act under international law and represents indirect complicity in crimes that may amount to war crimes and crimes against humanity. It contributes to fueling the internal conflict, undermines prospects for a peaceful resolution, and worsens the suffering of millions of Sudanese civilians facing severe humanitarian conditions amid widespread displacement and the total collapse of basic infrastructure.
Mashad Organization considers the involvement of armed Libyan groups in the Sudanese conflict inseparable from the ongoing pattern of systematic violations against civilians in Darfur, Khartoum, and other conflict-affected areas. Field evidence indicates that this intervention has enabled the RSF to carry out operations with deadlier capabilities, expanding the scale of atrocities and prolonging the conflict. This poses a grave threat to regional stability and international peace and raises alarm over the transformation of the Sudanese crisis into a proxy war that transcends borders and is fueled by external agendas indifferent to human rights and the fate of nations.
While Mashad Organization firmly and unequivocally condemns this intervention, it calls on the official Libyan authorities to fulfill their moral and legal responsibilities by preventing Libyan territory from being used as a launchpad for fueling armed conflicts in neighboring countries. This should align with Libya’s international obligations and preserve the historic and fraternal ties between the Libyan and Sudanese peoples, both of whom have suffered from violence and foreign interference.
The organization also warns that continued international silence regarding this illegal military involvement encourages impunity, weakens the foundations of international justice, and undermines the global system for civilian protection. Mashad Organization urges key international actors — including the United Nations, the African Union, and the Arab League — to take clear and decisive positions against such blatant regional interference that escalates conflict and threatens to annihilate any remaining hopes for peace.
Mashad Organization reaffirms its unwavering commitment to defending human rights, exposing the truth, documenting violations, and working to achieve justice and end impunity. It believes that supporting the Sudanese people at this critical juncture can only be achieved by halting military aid to violators, holding all perpetrators accountable, and backing the Sudanese aspiration for a democratic, civilian state founded on the rule of law, dignity, freedom, and peace.
