Khartoum, November 4 (Darfur24)
Sudan’s Security and Defense Council announced on Tuesday that it welcomes international efforts to end the war in Sudan and has formed a special committee to present Sudan’s vision on the delivery of humanitarian aid and the restoration of peace in the country.
The Council held an emergency session chaired by Lieutenant General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, Chairman of the Sovereignty Council and Commander of the Sudanese Armed Forces, with the participation of all members of the Sovereignty Council, leaders of armed movements, the Prime Minister, and the Minister of Justice.
In a statement following the meeting, Defense Minister Lieutenant General Hassan Daoud Kabaroun said the meeting discussed the situation in light of the roadmap proposed by the Quartet Mechanism to end the conflict.
He said the meeting “welcomed sincere efforts aimed at ending the suffering of the Sudanese people,” and expressed appreciation to the United States of America and President Trump’s advisor, Massad Polis, for their efforts, affirming Sudan’s readiness to engage with “any initiatives that contribute to ending the war.”
Kabaroun added that a committee has been tasked with presenting the government’s vision on facilitating aid access, supporting humanitarian work, and achieving security and peace across Sudan.
The Quartet Mechanism, which includes the United States, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and Egypt, has invited delegations from the Sudanese army and the Rapid Support Forces to attend negotiations in Washington on a six-month humanitarian truce.
The proposed truce is part of a roadmap introduced by the Quartet in September, which urges all parties to facilitate rapid, safe, and unhindered humanitarian access throughout Sudan, protect civilians in line with international humanitarian law, and avoid indiscriminate attacks on civilian infrastructure.
The roadmap also emphasizes that Sudan’s future governance should be determined by the Sudanese people through a comprehensive and transparent transition process, not controlled by any warring party.
According to the plan, the initial three-month humanitarian truce would enable the swift delivery of aid across Sudan, followed by steps toward a permanent ceasefire and a nine-month transitional process leading to an independent, civilian-led government.
