Saudi Arabia reaffirms support for Sudan’s unity and political solution to end crisis
RIYADH — Saudi Arabia's Permanent Representative to the United Nations Ambassador Dr. Abdulaziz Alwasil has reaffirmed Saudi Arabia’s priority to support stability in Sudan, secure a ceasefire, and preserve the country's territorial integrity and state institutions. Addressing a UN Security Council session on Sudan, he emphasized that resolving the crisis requires a Sudanese-Sudanese political solution.
Alwasil said that the continued conflict, deteriorating security situation, and failure to implement the commitments made under the Jeddah Platform and the relevant UN Security Council resolutions have contributed to worsening the humanitarian crisis in Sudan.
He stressed Saudi Arabia's commitment to ending the conflict, bringing the Sudanese parties closer together, and resuming political dialogue based on the Jeddah Declaration.
He also condemned the targeting of humanitarian aid convoys and the crimes committed in the city of El-Fasher, expressing the Kingdom's concern over the human and humanitarian losses resulting from the continued conflict.
Alwasil reiterated the Kingdom's rejection of any measures that undermine unity of Sudan or its institutions. He also welcomed regional and international efforts aimed at reaching a permanent ceasefire while affirming Saudi Arabia's continued humanitarian assistance to the Sudanese people.
