** Statement of the African Studies Association Concerning Freedom of Expr=
ession in Sudan June 2019
------------------------------------------------------------

The African Studies Association reiterates its solidarity with its academi=
c colleagues in Sudan and condemns in the strongest terms the violent crac=
kdown of the Transitional Military Council in Sudan on peaceful protesters=
 during its attack on the sit-in outside military headquarters on June 3rd=
=2E According to estimates by the Central Committee of Sudanese Doctors this=
 crackdown resulted in the violent deaths of over a hundred Sudanese prote=
sters=2C many of whom came from the ranks of doctors=2C students and profe=
ssors with whom our members have had long professional relationships.

A full account of the attack is not yet known due to the Sudanese governme=
nt=E2=80=99s attempts to silence protesters=2C both by raiding press agenc=
ies like Al Jazeera and blockading the internet across the country. Yet it=
 is clear that the Rapid Support Forces=2C a force represented on the Tran=
sitional Military Council=2C attacked the sit-in at 5 a.m. on June 3rd=2C=
 shot live ammunition at protesters=2C and killed over one hundred people=
=2C injuring roughly seven hundred=2C and sexually assaulting at least fiv=
e. These attacks extended far beyond the sit-in itself: RSF forces proceed=
ed to gather the bodies of those killed and threw them into the Nile. They=
 surrounded hospitals where wounded protesters were taken and shot ammunit=
ion inside of them. They attacked the University of Khartoum=2C rifling th=
rough offices and stealing university property. These attacks were a coord=
inated effort to stifle the mass movement that Sudanese protesters have pa=
rticipated in since December of 2018=2C calling first for the ouster of
President Omar al-Bashir=2C then a transition to a civilian government.

Since the attack=2C the Sudanese government has undertaken an extensive cr=
ackdown designed to stifle further dissent. The internet has been blocked=
 across the country=2C and the RSF has undertaken terrorizing patrols=2C a=
t times escorting workers on strike to their place of work at gunpoint.

Academics in Sudan have been at the forefront of these protests as members=
 of the Sudanese Professionals Association. Academics=2C alongside their s=
tudents=2C have attended the sit-in and protests=2C and academics=2C along=
side their students=2C are now mourning the loss of protesters=E2=80=94som=
e of whom they had taught six months ago. We stand in solidarity with them=
 as they fight to exercise their freedom of expression. Moreover=2C we cal=
l on our governments to pressure the Transitional Military Council to refr=
ain from further violence and commit to a peaceful transition to civilian=
 rule. We also ask the United States and the rest of the International Com=
munity to continue to follow the lead of the African Union in demanding th=
at the military regime in Sudan allow a civilian government to come to pow=
er in Sudan.

 live ammunition at protesters=2C and killed over one hundred people=2C in=
juring roughly seven hundred=2C and sexually assaulting at least five. The=
se attacks extended far beyond the sit-in itself: RSF forces proceeded to=
 gather the bodies of those killed and threw them into the Nile. They surr=
ounded hospitals where wounded protesters were taken and shot ammunition i=
nside of them. They attacked the University of Khartoum=2C rifling through=
 offices and stealing university property. These attacks were a coordinate=
d effort to stifle the mass movement that Sudanese protesters have partici=
pated in since December of 2018=2C calling first for the ouster of Preside=
nt Omar al-Bashir=2C then a transition to a civilian government.</p>
