The Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) welcomed on Friday the signing of the Jeddah declaration to protect civilians in Sudan.
In a press statement, OIC Secretary General Hissein Brahim Taha expressed hope that this declaration would act as an important step towards finally ending the armed dispute in Sudan and boosting security, peace, and stability in the country.
Taha commended the great good efforts by Saudi Arabia and the United States to reach this goal, underscoring the importance of the commitment of the signatories of the declaration to guarantee access to humanitarian and health aid to those in need in Sudan.
He noted the importance of continuing serious work within the joint Saudi-US initiative to reach an immediate and permanent ceasefire and a negotiable end to the crisis in Sudan.
Taha called on the Sudanese parties to work towards observing Sudan's vital national interest of preserving its unity, state's institutions, security, peace, political stability and economic development.
