Saudi Arabia’s envoy to the United Nations outlined his country’s vision for resolving Sudan’s grinding conflict before the Security Council.
Abdulaziz Al-Wasl said Riyadh backs a comprehensive political process led by Sudanese themselves, free from outside dictates.
He stressed that any settlement must preserve state institutions while strengthening security and stability across the fractured nation.
Al-Wasl urged that humanitarian aid reach Sudanese civilians trapped by more than two years of war.
Behind the formal language lay an unmistakable urgency, as famine and displacement continue to spread across the country.
Al-Wasl closed by renewing calls for sustained international support of a Sudanese-led path toward peace.
Such a path, he said, must ultimately restore both security and functioning institutions to a battered state.
The remarks came amid wider Security Council debate over arms embargoes and mounting pressure on warring factions.
Washington has separately pushed for an expanded, comprehensive arms embargo covering all of Sudan’s territory.
Russia, however, has rejected broadening the embargo and criticized existing sanctions against Khartoum’s warring parties.
The competing positions underscore how deeply divided the international community remains over Sudan’s brutal civil war.
For now, millions of Sudanese continue waiting, caught between diplomatic statements and the war’s daily toll.
