Press Release
Only the Khilafah Will End the Ongoing Violations and Bloodshed
(Translated)

We have followed, with great sorrow and deep pain, the fall of the city of Al-Nuhud, the temporary administrative capital of the Government of West Kordofan, into the hands of the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), following the withdrawal of the 18th Infantry Brigade, which is part of the Fifth Division (Hajjana) in El-Obeid. This comes just as other cities had previously fallen. These forces have committed horrific violations and heinous massacres against innocent and unarmed civilians. These violations continue, even as this statement is being written, in Al-Nuhud and the surrounding villages and settlements.

In light of these events, we in Hizb ut Tahrir / Wilayah Sudan clarify the following facts:

First: The successive fall of cities following military withdrawals confirms that there is a clear conspiracy against the people of Sudan, orchestrated by America, the true maker and sponsor of this filthy war. seeking to implement its own agenda in Sudan.

Second: Protecting people is the responsibility of the ruler. This responsibility does not cease due to war or any other circumstance. A ruler who fails in this duty is sinful. The Prophet (swt) said:«إِنَّمَا الْإِمَامُ جُنَّةٌ، يٌقَاتَلُ مِنْ وَرَائِهِ وَيُتَّقَى بِهِ»“A commander (of the Muslims) is a shield for them. They fight behind him and they are protected by (him from tyrants and aggressors)” And he (swt) also said: «فَالْإِمَامُ الَّذِي عَلَى النَّاسِ رَاعٍ وَهُوَ مَسْئُولٌ عَنْ رَعِيَّتِهِ».“The Imam (ruler) of the people is a guardian and is responsible for his subjects;”

Third: This war has proven that the current governments in our lands, whether military or civilian, based on the ideas of the colonial West, are failures when it comes to protecting people and managing their affairs. This confirms the truth and superiority of Islam and its political system in caring for people's affairs and protecting them from aggression, through the Khilafah Rashidah (rightly guided Caliphate) on the method of Prophethood.

In conclusion, the sincere among the people of power and influence must fulfill their role in protecting their brothers, and furthermore, in supporting the project of the Khilafah upon the method of Prophethood, supporting its advocates, and granting support (Nusrah) to Hizb ut Tahrir—the honest and trustworthy leader. Perhaps Allah will make them like the Ansar (supporters of the Medina), so that the second Khilafah Rashidah upon the method of Prophethood may arise, uprooting the influence of the colonial disbeliever from our lands, establishing life upon the creed of great Islam, protecting honor, preserving wealth, and ending the spilling of blood, so that people may live in dignity and honor.

[يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا اسْتَجِيبُوا للهِ وَلِلرَّسُولِ إِذَا دَعَاكُمْ لِمَا يُحْيِيكُمْ]

“O you who have believed, respond to Allah and to the Messenger when he calls you to that which gives you life”[Surah Al-Anfal: 24]
