There is no military solution in Sudan.. and the “Quartet” map is the path to a civilian government

The United Arab Emirates affirmed that the tragedies committed in Sudan conclusively prove that there is no military solution to this civil war.

Jamal Al Musharrakh, Permanent Representative of the UAE to the United Nations and other international organizations in Geneva, said in the country’s keynote speech before the 38th special session of the Human Rights Council on the human rights situation in and around El Fasher, in the context of the ongoing conflict in Sudan, that the “Quartet statement” – which was reached under the leadership of the United States – provides a clear road map to end the conflict through a humanitarian truce that leads to a permanent ceasefire, and the transition to an independent, civilian-led government that is not subject to the control of the warring parties.

He explained that the UAE condemned the attacks against civilians, by the Rapid Support Forces in the El Fasher region, and those carried out by the warring parties throughout Sudan, calling on both the Sudanese Armed Forces and the Rapid Support Forces to immediately stop all attacks against civilians, which represent a flagrant violation of international humanitarian law.

He said: The warring parties must allow humanitarian aid to enter without obstacles, and the international community must ensure that those responsible for committing these atrocities are held accountable, without exception. Unfortunately, the warring party that was represented in this session continues to launch indiscriminate attacks on markets, villages and hospitals, while the people suffer from famine, and ignores the calls of the international community for a ceasefire, which contributes to prolonging the conflict. It also uses humanitarian aid as a weapon, stressing that these actions are not something new, as this party has previously Providing shelter for terrorists and providing protection to individuals accused of genocide.

He added that the UAE affirms its firm position and solidarity with Sudan, from the darkest moments to the most hopeful, and said: We recently pledged to provide an additional one hundred million dollars to support urgent humanitarian operations in the El Fasher region, and we also confirm our full readiness to make more efforts to support the humanitarian response.
