Urgent call to stop the escalation in Sudan

The Arab Council expresses its strong condemnation of the violent clashes that erupted this morning, Saturday, April 15, 2023, between the Sudanese army and the Rapid Support Forces in several areas in Khartoum, including the vicinity of the presidential palace, and other areas in the country, especially the city of Meroe, which caused panic among unarmed citizens and their mass flight in The combat areas that began to witness the fall of the victims.

The Arab Council calls on both parties to the conflict to exercise restraint, end the clashes, and not get involved in bloodshed or destroy facilities in a way that impedes a political solution and deepens the raging crisis since the coup against the civil authority that took place on October 15, 2021.

The Council affirms that the only solution to the crisis in brotherly Sudan is to expedite the implementation of the political agreement that was reached and signed on the fifth of last December, in order to restore the path of civil democratic transition, and close the arc of coup and crude external interference.
