Ahead of the UN Human Rights Council’s 60th session (8 September-8 October 2025), we, the undersigned civil society organizations, write to urge your delegation to support a mandate extension for the Independent International Fact-Finding Mission (FFM) for the Sudan.

ACJPS is deeply concerned about the well-being of civilians, especially business owners abducted and forcibly disappeared by the RSF in Nyala, South Darfur.

Uganda currently hosts 1.8 million refugees from various nationalities, including South Sudanese, Rwandans, Congolese, and Sudanese, who have been in and out of Uganda since 1955 and 2016 due to security issues in their respective countries.

Although Sudan has laws and regulations criminalizing human trafficking, there is a significant gap between the legal framework and its actual enforcement. Weak protection systems, insufficient psychological and social support for victims, and low public awareness all contribute to this crime remaining hidden and ongoing.

ACJPS appeals to all concerned parties, governments, international organizations, civil society, the private sector, and media to unify efforts against this heinous crime of human trafficking and restore freedom and dignity to victims of human trafficking and protect potential victims.

During the attacks, the IDPs were particularly targeted, for example, in Zamzam Camp, which was established in 2004, at least 3,000 IDPs lost their lives, 8,000 were injured, and there were several cases of sexual violence.

This report details the most significant violations observed in Sudan during April, May, and June 2025, caused by the ongoing armed conflict that began in Sudan on April 15, 2023, focusing on four main thematic areas.

The establishment of the Al-Jazeera and Al-Managil project was not just an agricultural investment; it marked the beginning of an unprecedented economic and social renaissance in modern Sudan. The project provided wide employment opportunities and a source of livelihood for the state's population and migrant labor from other states.

With the outbreak of the current conflict in mid-April 2023, human trafficking has become more widespread due to the lack of control and the collapse of judicial institutions, especially in some states (Khartoum, Al Gezira, and Darfur), allowing armed groups and organized gangs to intensify their activities, whether recruiting children, exploiting women, or smuggling people across borders.

Since April 2023, Sudan has witnessed a horrific deterioration in security and humanitarian conditions, culminating in widespread human rights violations during May 2025. The ongoing war between the SAF and RSF has resulted in systematic targeting of civilians across Darfur, Kordofan, and eastern Sudan.

ACJPS presents four documentary films that capture the testimonies of victims on how the conflict has impacted them..

The International Federation for Human Rights (FIDH) and the African Centre for Justice and Peace Studies (ACJPS) launched their new joint report: "We demand justice, We deserve justice: Accountability processes for victims of Sudan."
