Heading the delegation of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia participating in the opening of the 78th session of the United Nations General Assembly today, Wednesday, in New York, Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan bin Abdullah stressed his country’s call to unify efforts to respond to the humanitarian situation in Sudan.
Back to the conversations
He added in his speech that the Kingdom invited all Sudanese parties to come to Jeddah.
He also pointed out the necessity of establishing safe corridors to provide services to the Sudanese, calling on international donors to participate in supporting Sudan and reducing suffering.
The Saudi minister’s words came after the United Nations Humanitarian Coordinator, Martin Griffiths, confirmed that the conflict in Sudan is worsening due to the influx of weapons from abroad.
He continued that the situation is deteriorating and threatens the stability of the entire region, and in turn he also called on all parties in Sudan to return to the Jeddah talks.
In turn, Egyptian Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry confirmed that Cairo has developed an action plan to address the political and humanitarian aspects of the crisis in Sudan.
He revealed that his country has received more than 300,000 Sudanese since the start of the war, stressing that it will continue its commitments to the Sudanese by supporting all efforts to end the tragedy.
He stressed that Sudan’s neighboring countries should not bear the consequences of the crisis alone.
War for months
It is noteworthy that the war broke out between the two military forces in mid-April, when tension related to an internationally supported plan for political transition turned into a direct clash four years after the overthrow of Omar al-Bashir in a popular uprising.
The conflict caused widespread clashes in addition to looting and robbery, causing food and medicine shortages in Khartoum and other cities, and pushing more than five million people to flee their homes.
The conflict also claimed more than 4,000 lives, according to figures issued by the United Nations, although it is certain that the real number is much higher, as doctors and activists assert.
