In a statement released Friday, the Council's Director of Administration, Arc. Zubairu Haruna Usman-Ugwu called for this action.

“The Council hereby calls on the United Nations to immediately send in the peace keeping forces to restore peace and order to Sudan. This is expedient in order to prevent the crisis from not only consuming Sudan but also destabilising the entire Sahel region and Africa at large.

The NSCIA urged the African Union to take decisive action, saying that it cannot be engaged in issuing statements while inaction continues. "Africa should not be a battleground for advancing the geopolitics of superpowers", said the statement from Nscia's executive director.

The President-General of the NSCIA and Sultan of Sokoto, His Eminence, Alhaji Muhammad Sa’ad Abubakar was dismayed by the bitter political rivalry that had morphed into a bloody military conflict in Sudan.

The statement reads, “The Council is especially worried by the devastation that the conflict has wrought on the civilian life and the attendant losses of hundreds of lives and critical Sudanese infrastructure. The gory sights of dead and decapitated bodies on the streets of Khartoum leave less to be desired and question our humanity.

“Several thousands of people have also been displaced and stranded as a result of the ugly development. Those that are displaced report gross violations and abuse while those still in Sudan are finding it extremely difficult to access food, water and medical attention. The whole scenario is scary and heart-rending. 

The NSCIA said the situation in Sudan was dangerous and unacceptable, as it is caused by leaders who are more interested in advancing their own interests than those of their people.

“The Sudanese people have endured distressed economy and the attendant high costs of goods and services for some time but adding the prospects of a civil war to the equation is a needless escalation of the misery of the vast majority of the people.
