The African Union Peace and Security Council (AUPSC) called on Thursday for an urgent humanitarian truce in Sudan, leading to a comprehensive nationwide ceasefire. Meanwhile, the Council rejected a request submitted by the Sudanese Foreign Minister, Mohieddin Salem, to lift the suspension of Sudan’s membership in the African Union.
The Council emphasized that there is no military solution to the conflict, highlighting the importance of reaching a peaceful settlement to preserve the country’s stability and prevent the conflict from spreading to neighboring countries in the region.
The session was chaired by Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty, with the participation of foreign ministers from Tanzania, Sierra Leone, Nigeria, Ethiopia, Angola, Botswana, Côte d’Ivoire, Equatorial Guinea, Cameroon, and Eswatini.
Abdelatty stressed that stability in Sudan is of great importance to the region, reaffirming Egypt’s firm position in supporting the unity of Sudan, its territorial integrity, and its institutions.
