The African Union confirmed that Commission Chairperson Mahmoud Ali Youssouf held talks with German Chancellor Friedrich Merz on Sudan’s escalating crisis.
Both sides stressed the urgent need for an immediate ceasefire and a return to constitutional order as the only viable path to stability.
The meeting unfolded against a backdrop of intensifying global concern over the conflict’s deepening humanitarian and political consequences across Sudan.
International and regional actors have increasingly called for an end to the violence, warning that prolonged instability risks further civilian suffering and institutional collapse.
The African Union said coordination with partners such as Germany is central to advancing practical solutions aimed at halting hostilities and reviving political dialogue.
Officials described the talks as part of a broader diplomatic effort to align international pressure and steer Sudan back toward a structured political transition.
As diplomatic channels widen, hopes persist that unified engagement may yet quiet the guns and restore a fragile path toward peace.
