Al-Azhar Ash-Sharif expresses deep sorrow over the acts of violence witnessed in Darfur, western Sudan, which have resulted in the killing and injury of innocent civilians, and forced hundreds of families to leave their homes and flee for their lives, escaping the scourge of conflicts. It also calls on the Lord, Almighty, to protect the Sudanese people, to bring them together, to expedite the end of this tragedy, and to bless the Sudan with security, safety, wellbeing, and stability.
Al-Azhar also calls on the Sudanese leaders and sages and the rest of the good Sudanese people to prioritize the interests of their country, to resort to the voice of reason and wisdom, to return to the dialogue table, and to end disputes and conflicts that can only result in more killing and destruction.
Moreover, Al-Azhar Ash-Sharif calls on all international relief organizations and bodies to run urgent relief convoys to the conflict-affected regions in the Sudan.
