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.
