Today, we honour these people-led lifelines, including partners such as the Sudanese Youth Network, @sihanetwork.bsky.social, No to Oppression against Women Initiative, Youth Citizen Observers Network (YCON), Sudan-Advocacy & some of the Sudanese Emergency Rooms.

Two young Sudanese girls wearing white headscarves. Text overlay reads: Three years on, Sudan’s civilians are still showing up. Today, we are thinking of the people running emergency rooms, holding women’s rooms, and building platforms that keep pushing for an inclusive peace, even when uncertainty clouds the horizon. It is in these rooms and networks that we see how people are supporting each other every day. Care goes beyond food and essential items. It’s a neighbour listening, a new volunteer lining up for the next shift, a group agreeing what happens next, a rumour cleared up before escalation. Nearly half of Sudan’s community kitchens have shut in the last six months, just as food shortages, mass displacement, and attacks on farmland and trade routes have soared. That’s why the Berlin conference feels urgent. We need Sudan back in the spotlight and turn international solidarity into material aid.As efforts to end the war continue, we need to scale up endeavours aimed at survival, dignity and resuming the advancement of a truly inclusive political process.”

Hanin Ahmed reminds us: women peacebuilders aren’t just victims or mere observers to be included — they are the architects of peace. It’s time for real power & resources. Read her sharp & inspiring words on WPS-HA Compact’s blog: bit.ly/4oSjzd9

Quote from Hanin Ahmed, External Relations Officer for Emergency Response Rooms (ERR) of Sudan, on an orange gradient background with a large faded quotation mark graphic. The quote reads: 'As we reflect on Beijing+30, we must acknowledge that Sudanese women, and women in conflict and crisis zones around the world, have long embodied its goals without protection, without funding, and often without recognition. Yet they persist. The question isn’t whether they will keep going. They will. The real question is: Does the world have the courage to fund them, protect them, and stand with them – not as victims, but as visionaries?'. On the right side of the image, Hanin Ahmed wears a rust-coloured headwrap, black blazer, earrings and a necklace, while speaking at the Beijing+30 Multi-Stakeholder Hearing.

The starting point for peace in Sudan is clear: a process built on inclusion. People who have stood for democracy — resistance committees, community leaders, young Sudanese — must shape what comes next.

Peace in Sudan cannot be reduced to deals between armed men. Real change must put civilians at the centre: women, youth, local leaders, and the diaspora all have a stake in Sudan’s future.

A ceasefire in Sudan is opening the door to political dialogue where everyone needs to have a seat at the table: civilians, women, youth, resistance committees, the diaspora, and religious and traditional leaders.

Ceasefires are just the first step. The goal is to build a future led by the people who have survived the worst of this war in Sudan. A future that tends to the root causes of disagreement, pain and systemic problems.

Ending the violence in Sudan starts with stopping the bombs, but lasting peace depends on restoring the power of Sudanese civilians to decide their country’s direction.

Ceasefires should create space for the Sudanese people to shape their own future. That means including civilian voices from the start rather than sidelining them in backroom deals.

Ceasefires are not PR trophies or the finish line; they are political breathing spaces and starting points. We urgently need ceasefires that lead to ongoing peace processes, and to ask, what comes next?
