Resident urges end to war, praises government and host community

A Resident who spoke during a public comment period urged an immediate end to the fighting and called on all parties to return to dialogue so people could safely go back to their homelands. The speaker said the community that hosted them and the government welcomed them on arrival with "open hands and open hearts," which helped them feel less like a refugee.

The speaker framed the conflict as a source of disruption to lives and livelihoods, drawing a contrast between past professional identities and current conditions: "كلنا بنقعد مرات كان مهنيين يعني كاطباء... كمهندسين" (we all used to be professionals — doctors, engineers) and said it was contradictory to now be living in a tent. They argued that a quick ceasefire and renewed dialogue are necessary to restore normal life and allow displaced people to return home.

The speaker also described how public discussion can break down when problems are raised, saying some people withdraw or focus on "winning" debates instead of finding solutions. They urged goodwill among disputing parties and expressed a prayerful hope that the war would end soon, noting that the longer it continues, the more recovery and positive progress are delayed. The speaker closed by warning that Sudanese public follow-up and positive momentum have been weakened by the prolonged conflict.

No votes or formal actions were recorded during this comment; the remarks were delivered as an individual testimony during the public comment portion of the session.
