The Arab League has called for an immediate ceasefire in Sudan, as the country continues to grapple with violence between the Sudan military and Rapid Support Forces.
Secretary-General Ahmed Aboul Gheit met with Abdullah Hamdok, a former Sudanese Prime Minister, in Cairo on Sunday.
Aboul Gheit emphasized the importance of ending the conflict and preserving Sudan’s territorial integrity, according to a statement released by the Arab League.
The League also expressed its willingness to assist Sudanese parties in finding a solution to the crisis.
Hamdok, who leads the Coordination of Civil Democratic Forces, reportedly briefed Aboul Gheit on efforts to establish a ceasefire and initiate dialogue between rival political factions.
This follows a similar call from the UN Security Council last Friday, urging a halt to hostilities before the holy month of Ramadan.
The conflict in Sudan pits the military, led by General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, against the RSF.
The year-long war has resulted in devastating consequences, with the UN estimating at least 13,900 deaths and over 8 million people displaced.
Several ceasefire attempts brokered by regional and international actors have so far been unsuccessful.
