Lawyer Makau Mutua has asked the International Criminal Court to intervene and end the ongoing conflict in Sudan by charging the warring Generals.
Mutua warned that the fight between the Sudanese regular armed forces and the rival Rapid Support Forces (RSF) paramilitary group might drive the country into a failed state.
"The International Criminal Court must seriously consider indicting the two generals who are driving Sudan towards a likely collapse as a state," he said through a Twitter statement on Monday.
The Azimio spokesperson also called on the African Union to intervene in the conflict which broke out three weeks ago.
"For its part, the African Union cannot simply sit on its hands and do nothing in a sad reminder of the Organization of African Unity, its impotent predecessor."
The AU was officially launched in July 2002 as a successor to the OAU which was in office from 1963 to 999.
Fighting in Sudan broke out on April 15 in the capital Khartoum following clashes between Sudan's army commander Gen Abdel Fattah al-Burhan and RSF leader Gen Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, better known as Hemedti.
Sudanese are hopeful that talks between envoys of the warring Generals being held in the Saudi Red Sea city of Jeddah will result in a ceasefire and end bloodshed.
There is, however, little hope that the talks, which started on Saturday, will result into meaningful progress after the army said discussions will strictly be on opening aid corridor and not finding a political solution to the conflict.
The Sudanese Health Ministry said the conflict has so far led to the deaths of over 600 people.
The World Health Organisation on its part put the death toll at over 400 and more than 4,000 injured.
Around seven million people are trapped in their homes in the capital, unable to get basic supplies including food.
The International Organisation for Migration says more than 115,000 people have sought refuge in neighboring countries.
