Foreign ministers from the neighboring countries of Sudan are set to meet in the Chadian capital, N'Djamena, on Sunday.
They are set to propose solutions for the current Sudanese crisis, as mandated by the summit of heads of state and governments of the neighboring countries of Sudan, which took place in July.
Held in Cairo, the July summit was attended by leaders from Egypt, Libya, Chad, Central African Republic, South Sudan, Eritrea, and Ethiopia.
During the summit, an operational mechanism was established, led by the foreign ministers of the participating countries.
This mechanism is tasked with examining the necessary implementation measures to address the repercussions of the Sudanese crisis on the country's future, stability, unity, territorial integrity, and the preservation of its national institutions, preventing their collapse.
The summit also tasked the communication mechanism with developing a plan that includes practical and feasible solutions to halt the infighting and achieve a comprehensive resolution to the Sudanese crisis.
This is to be achieved through direct engagement with the various Sudanese parties, in coordination with existing mechanisms, such as IGAD (Intergovernmental Authority on Development) and the African Union, as outlined in the summit’s closing communique.
The Chadian Foreign Ministry announced in a statement on Saturday that the primary mission of Sunday's meeting is to “propose ways to resolve the Sudanese crisis, which has pushed Sudan to the brink of a devastating war, resulting in thousands of casualties and the displacement of millions of people.”
Additionally, the statement emphasized the need to “draw the partners’ attention to provide urgent responses to the escalating humanitarian crisis.”
