The European Union has called on Sudan’s warring parties to engage in meaningful negotiations aimed at an immediate ceasefire and a credible peace process.
In a statement, the bloc urged all sides to ensure swift, unhindered, and sustained humanitarian access across Sudan, while guaranteeing civilian protection and upholding international law.
The EU pressed for firm commitments to build an inclusive and independent civilian government that restores the rule of law and accountability.
It pledged to deepen its engagement with both the General Abdel Fattah al Burhan’s army and the Rapid Support Forces if tangible progress is made toward peace.
“The European Union will remain actively engaged, including at the highest levels,” the statement said, vowing to coordinate efforts with like-minded partners and promote inclusive dialogue.
Brussels also signalled readiness to employ all available foreign policy tools, including targeted restrictive measures, to help bring about a peaceful resolution.
The EU reaffirmed its recognition of the Sudanese people’s right to freedom, peace, and justice, and its commitment to Sudan’s unity, sovereignty, and democratic future.
It strongly condemned the war that has ravaged Sudan for more than two years, killing thousands and displacing millions, warning it threatens regional stability.
The EU expressed grave concern over the deepening political and ethnic divisions and the rise of parallel authorities undermining Sudan’s territorial integrity.
Firmly rejecting any attempt to fragment the country, the bloc underscored that the responsibility for ending the conflict rests squarely with Burhan’s army and the Rapid Support Forces.
