De Soedanese vluchtelingen en sympathisanten

 

establish that:

  • Ondanks dat Soedanese asielzoekers in Nederland zijn gevlucht voor geweld en vervolging in hun thuisland, worden zij in Nederland nog steeds geconfronteerd met aanzienlijke problemen.
  • Velen hebben moeite om toegang te krijgen tot basisvoorzieningen als gezondheidszorg, onderwijs en werkgelegenheid en gaan een onzekere toekomst tegemoet in afwachting van beslissingen over hun asielaanvraag.
  • Deze situatie is onaanvaardbaar en vereist dringend aandacht.
  • Gezien de aanhoudende oorlog in Soedan is het noodzakelijk dat de Nederlandse regering het voortouw neemt bij de bescherming van kwetsbare personen en het bieden van een veilige haven aan mensen in nood.

 

and request

dringend actie te ondernemen om een einde te maken aan de benarde situatie van Soedanese asielzoekers in Nederland door hun bescherming en ondersteuning te bieden. Dit houdt in dat zij toegang krijgen tot basisvoorzieningen zoals gezondheidszorg, onderwijs en werkgelegenheid, en dat asielaanvragen snel en eerlijk worden behandeld.

Urgent Action Needed: End the Plight of Sudanese Asylum Seekers in the Netherlands Amid Ongoing Crisis and War in Sudan"

Your Excellency,

Allow us to start with the warnings issued by international organisations that Sudan will suffer an unimaginable humanitarian catastrophe if the ongoing war does not stop permanently.

The intense fighting is putting the lives, safety, and security of civilians at grave risk all over Sudan. The new escalation in violence is exacerbating an already devastating situation and making people desperately need urgent help. At least more than 500 people have died and thousands injured since the power struggle between Sudan's army and paramilitary group Rapid Support Forces (RSF) descended into fighting almost four weeks ago.

The fighting has pushed Sudan's population to near breaking point, with food becoming scarce, electricity cut off and many hospitals shut down. To make things worse, multiple aid agencies have suspended operations, and the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) said it was gearing up for potentially tens of thousands of people including children, women, and the elderly, fleeing to neighbouring countries.

The UN refugee agency also stated that “the ongoing brutal conflict has forced more than 100,000 Sudanese Refugees to flee neighboring countries, and at least 20,000 Sudanese refugees to flee to Chad from Darfur”, which it describes as “one of the regions most affected by violence of Sudan, and where growing instability might cause much larger displacement in the coming weeks.”

Regrettably, the situation in Sudan remains volatile. There are no positive signs on the horizon about an imminent end to the fighting, and people in Sudan are still living in fear every single day. Bodies are scattered in the streets, children, and women are among the victims. It seems the voice of bullets has prevailed over the voice of wisdom, sanity and the sanctity of our homeland and the safety of its citizens.

The signatories believes that the dilemma of the transitional period lies in the existence of multiple heads of power and decision-making centres. In addition, the de facto authority is neither elected nor decentralized and is unable to take decisive decisions. We are particularly saddened that once again, avaricious, and power-hungry men have trampled upon the needs and wishes of Sudanese people.

In the face of this tragic scene, the world watched with interest how the concerned countries hastened to evacuate their diplomatic missions and nationals from Sudan, which left an impression among many that the crisis is likely to deteriorate rapidly.

However, we are particularly saddened to see these countries racing to evacuate their nationals from Sudan, while they stand by and watch the catastrophic scene in this country. The paradox here is that the majority of these countries provide support to the two warring parties, the army and the Rapid Support Forces, in accordance with their interests. We are also shocked to learn that some of these countries have ruled out introducing safe and legal routes for Sudanese fleeing the war to seek asylum in their soil.

The signatories strongly believes that the relevant Dutch authorities should grant all Sudanese asylum seekers the right to settle immediately and without any conditions under their applicable legislations, and in the light of the ongoing war in Sudan.

Those unfortunate people and their families have endured years of uncertainty and are traumatized as a result, let alone the psychological, emotional, and financial problems they are experiencing. Many suffer from panic attacks, nightmares, and psychological problems due to the long wait for decisions regarding their asylum applications.

Undoubtedly, the ongoing war in their country, the lack of security and basics elements of normal life for the citizens there and the constant concern for the safety of their families have exacerbated the suffering of these people and made their psychological and mental conditions worse than ever.

We hereby strongly appeal to your esteemed administration to take the necessary measures to end the plight of Sudanese asylum seekers, their long suffering and grant them asylum to prove that the Netherlands is at the forefront of sponsoring countries for refugees fleeing repression and persecution in their country in search of safe havens.

Sincerely,
