Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan bin Abdullah reiterated on Monday the Kingdom’s support to the people of Sudan.

Saudi Arabia will continue to its efforts to reach a political solution to the crisis in Sudan, he stressed, citing its hosting of talks between the warring parties in Jeddah in May with the aim to reach a ceasefire and de-escalate the tensions.

Prince Faisal was speaking at a fundraising conference in Geneva hosted by Saudi Arabia, Germany, Qatar, Egypt and the United Nations.

In cooperation with the United States, Saudi Arabia succeeded in reaching a humanitarian truce with the warring parties two days ago, remarked the FM. He hoped that the truce would spare lives and facilitate the delivery of aid to those in need.

Moreover, Prince Faisal stressed that the Kingdom had never spared an effort in supporting the people of Sudan. It has so far announced aid worth 100 million dollars through the King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center (KSrelief) and operated an air bridge that has helped deliver aid.

The international donors in Geneva made pledges close to $1.5 billion in aid for Sudan and the surrounding region.

The conflict between Sudan's army and paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) has turned the capital Khartoum into a war zone and triggered lethal, repeated attacks and mass displacement in the western region of Darfur as well as other parts of the country.

Kuwait issued seven new decrees on Saturday, revoking the Kuwaiti nationality of 1,145 women and 13 men, along with any individuals who may have acquired citizenship through affiliation.
The decrees, which are set to be published in the official Kuwaiti gazette on Sunday, stated that the decision followed a review of the Constitution, the Kuwaiti Nationality Law, and the recommendation of the First Deputy Prime Minister and Interior Minister.
The decrees include the revocation of Kuwaiti nationality from 1,145 women, as well as individuals who may have acquired it through affiliation.
Additionally, the citizenship of certain individuals was rescinded under Article 21 of the Nationality Law, which permits the withdrawal of nationality if it was granted based on fraud, false statements, or incorrect documentation.
Under Kuwaiti law, the cabinet, acting on a proposal from the Interior Minister, has the authority to revoke citizenship in such cases. This also applies to individuals who acquired Kuwaiti nationality through affiliation with the original certificate holder.
Last Thursday, the Supreme Committee for Citizenship Affairs convened a meeting, chaired by the Acting Prime Minister, Minister of Defense, and Minister of Interior, Sheikh Fahad Yousef Saud Al-Sabah, who also serves as the committee's chairman.

The committee decided to revoke and annul the Kuwaiti citizenship of 1,647 individuals, with plans to present their cases to the Cabinet for further review.
This brings the total number of cases to 4,601 since October 31, a span of just three weeks.
The Committee began its work in early March, when Kuwaiti authorities launched a campaign to revoke citizenships for various reasons, primarily linked to fraud.
The Kuwaiti government states that the revocation of citizenship from forgers and dual nationals is intended to "preserve national identity, ensure stability, and protect the national fabric," as well as to remove the records of individuals who obtained citizenship through illegal means.
