Kaka: "I lost many relatives from my family whom were killed together with my husband and niece.
Currently my back still paining me and feel numbness in my arms. I and my daughter still suffering
difficulties in sleeping. We have been separated from our community, family and land/Sudan.”68
Call for action from Masalit people of West Darfur
The people interviewed from the Masalit community suggested various calls for safeguarding and
restoring their dignity, ensuring justice, and stability across the region. The Masalit community faced
severe humanitarian and safety challenges resulting from ongoing violations, displacement, and the
destruction of their homes and livelihoods. Despite numerous assessments and documented
recommendations from human rights groups, humanitarian organizations, activists, and community
leaders, many of these urgent calls for intervention have not been fulfilled. Now is the time to turn
concern into meaningful actions because lives, cultural heritage, and entire communities remain at risk.
This demands collective responsibility and decisive engagement.
Jalal-Eldin, 38 years talked about the justice and the situation of displaced people, said:
“The perpetrators to be fully accountable for their crimes of killing, looting, and forced
displacement, we reject compromise, only justice is acceptable.
The displaced people guarantee access to education for their children, provide support for
widows and families who lost breadwinners, and ensure safe conditions for displaced people to
return home, rebuild their houses, and receive proper compensation.”69
Halima, 43 years, a victim and community leader, recommends that:
“The need to halt foreign intervention especially the countries that are involved in providing
logistical and moral support to RSF, and stop foreign fighters from Chad, Niger, Mali, the
Central African Republic, and Libya from joining the Rapid Support Forces.”70
