Geneva, Switzerland – The United Arab Emirates has confirmed that the tragedies committed in Sudan conclusively prove that there is no military solution to this civil war.
Jamal Al Mashrakh, the UAE’s permanent representative to the United Nations and other international organizations in Geneva, said that the “Quartet Statement” – reached under the leadership of the United States – provides a clear roadmap to end the conflict through a humanitarian truce leading to a permanent ceasefire and the transition to an independent government led by civilians that is not subject to the control of the warring parties.
He explained that the UAE condemned the attacks against civilians by the Rapid Support Forces in the El Fasher area, and those carried out by the warring parties throughout Sudan.
etc.. He called on both the Sudanese Armed Forces and the Rapid Support Forces to immediately stop all attacks against civilians, which represent a flagrant violation of international humanitarian law.
He said: “The warring parties must allow the unhindered entry of humanitarian aid, and the international community must ensure that those responsible for committing these atrocities are held accountable, without exception. Unfortunately, the warring party represented in this session continues to launch indiscriminate attacks on markets, villages and hospitals, while the people suffer from famine, and ignores the international community’s calls for a ceasefire, which contributes to prolonging the conflict, and it also uses humanitarian aid as a weapon.” Stressing that these actions are not new, as this party has previously provided shelter to terrorists and provided protection to individuals accused of committing genocide.”
He added that the UAE affirms its firm position and solidarity with Sudan, from the darkest moments to the most hopeful.
He said: “We recently pledged an additional $100 million to support urgent humanitarian operations in the El Fasher region, and we also affirm our full readiness to make more efforts to support the humanitarian response”.
