The Saudi Ministry of Foreign Affairs expressed deep concern over the ongoing conflict in Sudan and the escalating violence against civilians, particularly women and children, the Saudi Press Agency reported on Saturday.
Saudi Arabia condemned the recent incidents in eastern Al-Jazirah State, which have led to civilian casualties and injuries, emphasizing that such acts violate international law and undermine the principle of civilian protection.
The Kingdom called on warring parties to adhere to the commitments outlined in the Jeddah Declaration signed on May 11, 2023. It urged the warring parties to agree to a ceasefire, end the conflict, and ensure the delivery of humanitarian aid to those in need.
The Kingdom reaffirmed its strong commitment to supporting Sudan’s stability and preserving the unity of its legitimate institutions, sovereignty, and independence. It emphasized that a political solution is the only viable path to resolve the crisis in Sudan.
