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.
