Sudan’s Somoud alliance begins European tour to push for end to war

January 19, 2026 (PARIS) – Three delegations from Sudan’s Civil Democratic Alliance of Revolutionary Forces (Somoud), led by former Prime Minister Abdalla Hamdok, began a European tour on Sunday to push for an end to the country’s conflict, coalition sources said.

The Somoud coalition is seeking a peaceful resolution, arguing prolonged conflict will lead to further atrocities and displacement, and that intense political polarization could lead to division of the country, the sources said.

The delegations will visit France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany and the United Kingdom to discuss the situation with European officials and review initiatives aimed at halting the war, the sources said.

The representatives also plan to meet international humanitarian organizations to address deteriorating conditions in the Kordofan and Darfur regions.

Humanitarian conditions there have worsened due to ongoing fighting and sieges by the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), leading to famine in El Fasher and Kadugli, according to the sources. Aid organizations warn the crisis could spread to 20 additional areas.
