Rates of displacement, refuge, and hunger are increasing in a way that becomes more difficult to address day by day.The meeting called on the international community to fulfill its declared commitments to provide humanitarian aid, demanding that the army and RSF remove all obstacles to aid delivery and ensure it reaches those in need.It noted that the country is witnessing an escalation of military confrontations throughout, emphasizing that there is no military solution to the conflict in Sudan.The meeting called on the Sudanese army and RSF to heed the voice of reason, respond to calls for a ceasefire, and seek a peaceful solution that addresses the roots of the crisis and establishes sustainable peace in Sudan.It condemned violations against civilians, especially crimes of killing, looting, artillery shelling, and aerial bombardment, calling for all necessary measures to protect civilians and hold perpetrators accountable.
The meeting’s outcomes stated that “elements affiliated with the former regime are exploiting the war environment they ignited, riding on the shoulders of the military institution.” These elements are using the war to spread terrorism, eliminate opponents, promote racist and hate speech, mislead, and fight democratic civilian forces by spreading lies about them and filing malicious reports against their leaders.
