An academic forum in the Turkish capital, Ankara, has examined Sudan’s ongoing war, its regional and international consequences, and potential diplomatic pathways towards ending the conflict.
The event, titled “Sudan Amid War: Conflict, Diplomacy and the Search for Peace,” was organised by the Peace Center for Research and Policy Studies in cooperation with Ankara Haci Bayram Veli University.
The discussions focused on the challenges facing international efforts to end the fighting and the prospects for achieving a negotiated settlement capable of delivering lasting peace.
Dr Ibrahim Nasser, representing the research centre, presented an assessment of developments in Sudan, highlighting the conflict’s wider implications for regional security and international relations.
Nasser also examined obstacles confronting diplomatic initiatives aimed at securing a ceasefire, as well as possible approaches to overcoming the political and security challenges complicating peace efforts.
The seminar was attended by several officials and academics, including Sudan’s ambassador to Turkey, Nader Youssef al-Tayeb, and Yahya Coşkun, vice-president of the Turkish Cooperation and Coordination Agency (TİKA).
The gathering highlighted the role of academic institutions and policy research centres in examining possible solutions to Sudan’s prolonged conflict.
The discussions come as diplomatic efforts to halt the war continue amid deep political divisions, ongoing military confrontations and a worsening humanitarian crisis.
Although the forum explored potential avenues towards peace, no formal negotiations or new diplomatic agreements were announced.
