New Calls for Humanitarian Truce in Sudan as Peace Talks Resume in Cairo
As the war between the army and its rival paramilitary nears the three-year mark, a new wave of calls for a humanitarian truce has emerged in Sudan. The peace talks, which resumed in Cairo on Wednesday, have sparked renewed hopes for an end to the conflict that has ravaged the country.Egyptian Foreign Minister Calls for Nationwide Humanitarian Truce
Egypt's Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty made a strong statement during a joint news conference with Ramtane Lamamra, the UN secretary-general's personal envoy for Sudan. Abdelatty emphasized that Egypt would not stand idly by and would take necessary measures to preserve Sudan's unity. He described any attempts to undermine the country's institutions or divide its territory as 'red lines' that Egypt would not accept.
UN Secretary-General's Envoy Calls for Immediate Ceasefire
Ramtane Lamamra, the UN secretary-general's personal envoy for Sudan, echoed Abdelatty's sentiments. He urged the warring parties to agree to a nationwide humanitarian truce and emphasized that time was running out. The conflict has already lasted for nearly three years, and the situation on the ground remains dire.
Humanitarian Crisis Deepens as Food Aid Runs Out
The UN has warned that food aid in Sudan could run out by the end of March if a humanitarian truce is not reached. The warning comes as the conflict continues to displace thousands of people, leaving them without access to basic necessities like food and shelter.
As the peace talks continue in Cairo, one thing is clear: the situation in Sudan remains dire. With a humanitarian truce hanging in the balance, it's imperative that all parties involved come together to find a solution. The people of Sudan deserve nothing less than an end to this conflict and a chance to rebuild their lives.
