Confirmed
In Short: A U.S.-led coalition of Western nations and regional organizations calls for an inclusive civilian-led political process in Sudan to end the war and promote democratic governance.
A U.S.-led coalition, including Belgium, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Norway, and the United Kingdom, has endorsed a civilian-led political dialogue for Sudan to end the ongoing conflict and establish a stable, democratic government. The coalition, which met in Addis Ababa from June 3 to 5, emphasized that there can be no military solution to the crisis and that a credible and inclusive transition is essential.
The group's joint statement, issued after consultations with Sudanese political stakeholders, reaffirmed the commitment to Sudan’s sovereignty, unity, and territorial integrity. The coalition called for an urgent humanitarian truce to facilitate a permanent ceasefire and the resumption of political dialogue. The statement also welcomed the outcomes of the Berlin conference, which included the adoption of the 'Berlin Principles for Sudan' and a joint declaration by Sudanese civilian stakeholders.
The coalition's support for a civilian-led path toward a durable political settlement reflects the international community's growing concern over the situation in Sudan. The group emphasized that any sustainable resolution must be based on an inclusive process that reflects the aspirations of the Sudanese people, free from domination by armed actors.
The endorsement of this civilian-led approach comes as part of a broader effort to coordinate international support for a peaceful resolution to the conflict in Sudan, with the involvement of regional organizations and the United Nations.
