A comprehensive report on the visit of the joint media delegation to Port Sudan and its effects – Something for the homeland – ✍️ Eng. Salah Ghariba
The visit of the joint Sudanese-Egyptian media delegation to Port Sudan represented a historic moment to shed light on the humanitarian and political crisis in Sudan. The visit, which came in the midst of a brutal civil war, aimed to convey to the world the truth about the events, reveal the extent of the destruction and losses inflicted on the country, and shed light on the crimes committed against civilians.
Reports from several regions of Sudan have revealed the catastrophic scale of the destruction of infrastructure and public facilities resulting from the systematic attacks by rebel militias. These attacks, which have particularly targeted civilian areas, including hospitals, schools and markets, constitute a flagrant violation of international humanitarian law and international human rights law.
Directly targeting civilians, using internationally prohibited weapons, plundering public and private property, and committing acts of murder, rape and torture are all war crimes that require their perpetrators to be held accountable before international tribunals.
The media played a central role in conveying to the world the truth about the events and revealing the scale of the crimes committed against the Sudanese people. The joint media delegation presented reports, photos and videos documenting the scale of the destruction and losses, which greatly influenced international public opinion and mobilized support for humanitarian intervention.

The dimensions of the Sudanese crisis go beyond military and security aspects to include extremely complex humanitarian dimensions. The forced displacement of millions of people, the shortage of food and medicines and the spread of diseases are all side effects of the war that directly affect the lives of civilians.
The humanitarian crisis in Sudan requires an urgent and comprehensive response from the international community, as emergency humanitarian assistance must be provided to those affected, facilitating the arrival of aid in besieged areas and ensuring the protection of civilians.
Sudan is experiencing political and security instability, which threatens to complicate the humanitarian crisis and delay the reconstruction process. In this context, Sudan faces many challenges, including the economic crisis. Sudan is suffering from a severe economic crisis, exacerbated by the war and by factors related to floods, rains, torrents, and environmental and climate change. build a national consensus on the future of the country, and Sudan must work to achieve security and stability.
The Sudanese crisis requires comprehensive political solutions based on dialogue, negotiation and confidence-building, with rapid and resolute support militias that put an end to security and humanitarian violations. This crisis also requires broad international cooperation to provide the necessary support to the Sudanese people and work towards establishing peace and stability in the region.
The international community must redouble its efforts to provide humanitarian assistance to the Sudanese people, work to achieve a ceasefire, and facilitate the arrival of humanitarian aid in all affected areas. The Sudanese government must prioritize the needs of civilians and work to achieve the national objective. The solution for the rapid support militias is to end violence, commit to resolving conflicts peacefully, and put the interests of the nation and the people first. The media must continue to play its role by conveying the truth, educating public opinion, and pushing for justice and accountability.
The Sudanese crisis represents a major challenge for the region and the world. Everyone must work together to find peaceful and just solutions to this crisis and ensure a better future for the Sudanese people.
