Press Release

The Government of Sudan welcomes the statement of the African Union Peace and Security Council, issued on 9 October 2024, and its positive approach and constructive proposals.

The Government agrees with the priorities outlined in the statement, particularly the full implementation of the Jeddah Declaration, the evacuation of civilians’ homes, the facilitation of humanitarian aid delivery, the immediate lifting of the siege on El-Fasher by the RSF militia, and the condemnation of the atrocities committed by the militia against civilians.

The Government highly appreciates the Council’s appreciation of Sudan’s proposed roadmap to resolve the crisis, as well as its decision to upgrade the African Union’s positive engagement with Sudan, including the reopening of its office in Port Sudan. The government also commends the Council’s call for all African Union institutions to increase their assistance to Sudan.

The Government of Sudan reaffirms its full commitment to constructive engagement with the African Union, the continent’s mother organization, as one of the founders and pioneers of African joint action and a nation that represents a microcosm of Africa. The government extends its gratitude to the members of the Peace and Security Council for their visit to Sudan on the 3rd of this month and the outcomes of the visit, which reflect the positive results of direct and frank communication between the continental organization and its member states in the spirit of the principle of African solutions to African problems.
