Several countries, including the United States, Saudi Arabia, and Egypt, are calling for “unhindered” access to address the growing humanitarian crisis in war-torn Sudan. The international mediators praised decisions by Sudan’s warring sides to facilitate the delivery of humanitarian aid to Darfur and Kordofan states. The Sudanese Armed Forces and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces have agreed to open border crossings to allow aid to reach those in need.
The war in Sudan, which began last year, has resulted in one of the world’s worst humanitarian crises. More than 25 million people are facing acute hunger, according to the UN. The conflict between the Sudanese army and the RSF has led to displacement and public health disasters.
The talks in Switzerland aim to end the fighting and alleviate suffering in Sudan. The US has called on the Sudanese Armed Forces to join the negotiations and praised the opening of the Adre border crossing as a crucial step in delivering aid and preventing famine. The US has played a leading role in the peace talks, as efforts to transition Sudan to civilian and democratic rule have faced challenges.
The situation in Sudan remains dire, with ongoing violence and humanitarian needs. The international community is urging all parties to cooperate and ensure access for aid organizations to help those most affected by the conflict. Despite the challenges, efforts are ongoing to bring stability and relief to Sudan.
