The Quintet, comprising the African Union, the Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD), the League of Arab States, the European Union, and the United Nations, expressed deep concern over the recent military escalation and deadly drone attacks in various parts of Sudan. It warned of the consequences for civilians amid the catastrophic humanitarian conditions prevailing in the country.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In a statement, the group condemned attacks targeting several states, including Khartoum, Darfur, Kordofan, Blue Nile, Gedaref, Al Jazirah, Sennar, and the Red Sea State. The attacks resulted in civilian casualties and damage to vital civilian infrastructure, particularly electricity stations and healthcare facilities.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Quintet explained that the damage inflicted on electricity facilities had caused widespread power outages, disrupted essential services, and further deteriorated the already dire humanitarian situation. It had also undermined relief operations and made prospects for peace and recovery in Sudan more difficult.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The statement, obtained by Al-Muhaqqiq News, recalled relevant resolutions, regulations, conclusions, and statements issued by the organizations represented in the group. These call for an immediate cessation of hostilities, the protection of civilians, unimpeded humanitarian access, and a return to an inclusive political process.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The group reiterated that there is no military solution to the Sudanese crisis. It called for an immediate cessation of hostilities and attacks targeting civilians, civilian objects, and infrastructure, including an end to external support that fuels and escalates the conflict.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It also urged regional and international actors to use their influence to support tangible and urgent progress in de-escalation efforts, including the Quad’s initiatives aimed at securing a humanitarian truce as a step towards a comprehensive ceasefire.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Quintet stressed the need for full compliance with international humanitarian law and accountability for violations. It affirmed that deliberate attacks against civilians and civilian objects constitute serious violations of international humanitarian law.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The statement noted that civilians across Sudan could no longer bear the consequences of the military confrontations, adding: “The time has come for the guns to fall silent.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

The group renewed its commitment to Sudan’s sovereignty, unity, and territorial integrity, declaring its rejection of the establishment of any parallel governments or structures. It emphasized that the country’s future must be determined through an inclusive political process led and owned by the Sudanese people.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
