The Muslim World League praised on Saturday the relentless efforts of the Aligned for Advancing Lifesaving and Peace in Sudan (ALPS) group aimed at alleviating the suffering of the Sudanese people, saving lives, and achieving a permanent cessation of hostilities.

In a statement, Secretary-General of the Muslim World League Dr. Mohammad bin Abdulkarim Al-Issa who is also Chairman of the Organization of Muslim Scholars, expressed the league's full support and deep appreciation for the efforts of the ALPS group.

The group is comprised of Saudi Arabia, the United States, Switzerland, the United Arab Emirates, Egypt, the African Union, and the United Nations. It operates under the Jeddah Declaration and the patronage of Saudi Arabia.

Dr. Al-Issa emphasized the urgent need for the Sudanese parties to respond to the group's call for opening additional border crossings, as more than 25 million people are facing severe hunger and starvation.

The MWL praised the group's commitment to rescuing the Sudanese people and continuing efforts to deliver humanitarian aid and protect civilians, noting that aid reached nearly 300,000 people in Darfur last week. It also highlighted its initiatives for a ceasefire and ending the war in Sudan.
