G7 Calls for Immediate Ceasefire in Sudan and Backs Quartet Efforts
The G7 has urged the warring parties in Sudan to halt hostilities immediately, emphasizing the need for a civilian-led political solution.
The G7 industrialized nations have called on both the Sudanese Armed Forces and the Rapid Support Forces to implement an immediate ceasefire, following a joint statement by foreign ministers after their meeting in Paris on Wednesday.
The ministers demanded that both sides adhere to international humanitarian law and ensure the unhindered delivery of aid to those affected, warning of the devastating impact of the conflict on civilians and the escalating risk of famine.
The group reaffirmed its full support for the Quartet's efforts to facilitate political dialogue, stressing that any such process must be led by Sudanese civilians to ensure the country's stability.
Furthermore, the G7 issued a firm warning to external actors, calling for an immediate end to all forms of military and financial support for the warring parties, as part of efforts to resolve the conflict that began in April 2023.
