The African Union has renewed its full readiness to work closely with all relevant Sudanese parties, as well as regional and international partners, to support efforts aimed at achieving a ceasefire, facilitating humanitarian access, and reaching a comprehensive political solution in Sudan.
In a message congratulating the government and people of Sudan on the 70th anniversary of independence, African Union Commission Chairperson Mahmoud Ali Youssouf said the AU remains committed to an African-led and Sudanese-owned process that responds to the aspirations of the Sudanese people for peace, dignity, and a stable future.
In a statement issued Thursday, the AU reiterated its willingness to work closely with Sudanese stakeholders and international partners, including the Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD), the United Nations, and the League of Arab States, to support ceasefire efforts, humanitarian access, and a comprehensive political settlement.
The statement added that as Sudan marks 70 years of independence, “this moment should not be merely a reflection on the past, but a renewal of commitment to ending the war and restoring the promise of a united Sudan living in peace.”
