An Oxford-based civil society initiative launches on 30 October to promote peace talks and protect civilians in Sudan.

Oxford Call for Peace in Sudan will officially launch on Friday 30 October in Oxford. The initiative, formally established this month, aims to unite individuals and organisations in efforts to stop the conflict, protect civilians and promote peace talks.

The group's objectives include advocating for a permanent ceasefire, supporting Sudanese dialogue among anti-war forces, and promoting community reconciliation. A spokesperson said the initiative seeks to 'strengthen collective civic action and build cooperation among peace advocates in the UK and beyond', and that 'the engagement of British parliamentarians is vital in keeping Sudan on the political agenda and supporting meaningful efforts towards peace'.

The independent, non-profit, non-partisan initiative intends to develop practical programmes for peacebuilding, humanitarian assistance, education and community recovery in Sudan. It will also build bridges between Sudanese communities in the United Kingdom and international civil society organisations.

The official launch will bring together Sudanese organisations from across England, representatives of British and international civil society, community leaders, academics and supporters of peace. The event will feature an official presentation introducing the organisation, its mission and future programmes.
