The African Union, Intergovernmental Authority on Development, League of Arab States, European Union, and United Nations expressed deep concern over Sudan’s escalating conflict.
In a joint statement, the Quintet urged an immediate halt to hostilities to prevent further civilian harm and humanitarian suffering.
The group highlighted alarming conditions in Kordofan and Blue Nile, including drone strikes, restricted access to communities, and threats to essential services.
Officials emphasized the urgent need to protect hospitals, schools, and other civilian infrastructure from the impacts of ongoing violence.
Civilians continue to face severe risks, and the statement stressed that international humanitarian law must guide all actions during the conflict.
Ensuring safe, rapid, and unhindered humanitarian access to affected areas was called essential to delivering life-saving aid and support.
With the holy month of Ramadan approaching, the Quintet encouraged all efforts to de-escalate tensions and facilitate relief for vulnerable populations.
The conflict, ongoing since April 2023, has caused widespread displacement, strained resources, and profound challenges for communities across Sudan.
The Quintet concluded by urging the continuation of dialogue and humanitarian initiatives to protect lives and mitigate the impact of violence.
