Sudan’s youth demand peace talks, not power-sharing.

**Amsterdam** — Young Sudanese activists are pushing back against the country’s current political negotiations, demanding a broader “inclusive dialogue” that tackles the root causes of the war rather than simply dividing seats among elite factions. Speaking to Radio Dabanga, organizer Amin Ramadan said the youth are calling for a process that puts “justice and peace first,” arguing that previous ceasefire efforts have failed because they ignore the underlying grievances driving the conflict. The activists insist that any lasting solution must include civil society, women’s groups, and local community leaders—not just armed factions. Their proposal centers on addressing land disputes, economic marginalization, and accountability for war crimes as prerequisites for any meaningful truce. The call comes as international mediators push for a new round of talks, but the youth warn that without a fundamental shift in approach, any agreement will only set the stage for the next war.
