The Organization of Islamic Cooperation reiterated on Monday its call for an immediate ceasefire in Sudan.

OIC Secretary-General Hissein Brahim Taha expressed his deep concern over the ongoing fighting in Sudan, warning that an escalation will have dire consequences on civilians and the humanitarian situation in the country.

He underscored the OIC’s support for international efforts aimed at reaching a truce to allow the delivery of humanitarian aid and evacuate the wounded and people caught in the fighting between the army and Rapid Support Forces (RSF).

He stressed the need to return to peace and negotiations to overcome the dangerous crisis that is threatening Sudan’s security, safety and unity.

Lebanese President Joseph Aoun arrived in Qatar on Tuesday on an official two-day visit at the invitation of Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani.

Aoun will hold bilateral talks with Sheikh Tamim and expanded talks will be held between the Lebanese and Qatari delegations.

The president is accompanied by Minister of Foreign Affairs and Emigrants Youssef Raji.

Aoun arrived in Qatar hours after Foreign Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Jassim Al Thani received French President's Envoy to Lebanon Jean-Yves Le Drian.

They discussed bilateral cooperation, the latest developments in Lebanon, and a number of issues of mutual interest.

Sheikh Mohammed stressed the need for the withdrawal of Israeli forces from all Lebanese territories, and for all parties to adhere to the ceasefire agreement and avoid escalation, in order to ensure security and stability in the region.
