Deputy Foreign Minister Highlights the Threat of the War in Sudan to Regional Stability
Vice Foreign Minister Waleed El-Khereiji stated that the continuation of the ongoing war in Sudan and its repercussions pose a threat to stability in the region.
During his participation in the consultative meeting regarding the coordination of peace initiatives and efforts in Sudan, El-Khereiji added that the step of announcing a “founding alliance” which includes the formation of a government parallel to the Sudanese government is completely rejected.
He continued that the declaration of parallel entities outside the framework of legitimate institutions is a matter of concern and obstructs the efforts made through the political track to reach a solution to the crisis. He stressed that preventing foreign interference and stopping external support via illegal weapons and foreign fighters is urgent and necessary to achieve a ceasefire and facilitate humanitarian operations in Sudan.
He further noted that the Kingdom is keen on the return of political dialogue in light of the “Jeddah Declaration of Commitment to Protect the Civilians of Sudan” signed on May 11, 2023, and the short-term ceasefire agreement and humanitarian arrangements signed on May 20, 2023, between the conflicting parties in Sudan. He also noted the Kingdom’s welcome of the Sudanese government’s step to open the “Adre” border crossing.
He went on to say that the Kingdom continues to exert efforts and endeavors to bridge views and reach a ceasefire that ends the escalating humanitarian crisis and alleviates the suffering of the brotherly Sudanese people. He pointed out that the solution to the crisis in Sudan is a Sudanese-Sudanese political solution based on respecting the sovereignty and unity of Sudan and supporting Sudanese state institutions. He reaffirmed the Kingdom’s top priorities regarding Sudan, which are ensuring its stability, achieving a ceasefire, preserving state institutions from collapse, and maintaining its unity and territorial integrity.
