The Saudi Foreign Ministry expressed its deep concern over the escalating military tensions in El Fasher, North Darfur, calling on all parties involved in the Sudanese conflict to adhere to the outcomes of the Jeddah talks.
The statement was released today, Sunday, by the Saudi Press Agency (SPA), emphasizing the urgency of reaching an agreement on a ceasefire and resolving the crisis through political dialogue to preserve the unity and security of the Sudanese Republic and its people.
The Kingdom‘s call for adherence to the Jeddah talks comes as the situation in Sudan grows increasingly volatile.
According to SPA, the Saudi-led initiative aims to accelerate the peace process in Sudan, emphasizing the benefits for the Sudanese people through prompt and effective conflict resolution.
Meanwhile, the United Nations Security Council is scheduled to convene on Monday to discuss what the Sudanese Mission to the United Nations described as “the UAE’s aggression against Sudan.”
This special session follows a request by Sudan, with the Sudan News Agency (SUNA) reporting that the Sudanese Permanent Representative to the UN, Ambassador Al-Harith Idris, has called for an urgent council meeting to discuss the UAE’s actions and hold it accountable for alleged crimes against the Sudanese people and state.
The UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs also released a statement yesterday, Saturday, expressing its deep concern about the rising tensions in El Fasher, North Darfur, and the potential threats to Sudanese civilians.
The UAE called on all combatants to adhere to their obligations under international humanitarian law, urging immediate and decisive actions to de-escalate tensions and prevent further instability in Sudan.
For over a year, Sudan has been engulfed in widespread and violent clashes between the Sudanese Army and the RSF, primarily in the capital, Khartoum, resulting in hundreds of civilian casualties.
