UAE calls for end to crisis in Sudan at Quad meeting in New York

WAM

UAE's Minister of State, Sheikh Shakhboot bin Nahyan Al Nahyan, has stressed the need for a permanent ceasefire and an unconditional humanitarian truce in Sudan during the Quad meeting in New York.

The meeting brought together representatives of its members, including the US, Saudi Arabia and Egypt, alongside the participation of the European Union and the United Kingdom.

Sheikh Shakhboot commended the leadership of US President Donald Trump in preventing Sudan from descending further into extremism, fragmentation and a worsening humanitarian crisis.

The minister highlighted the significance of ensuring unimpeded access to aid across Sudan, alongside providing support for a transitional process leading to a civilian government that is independent of the warring parties and extremist groups.

He further welcomed the participation of the EU and the UK, emphasising the importance of regional and international efforts in ending the Sudanese crisis. 

The Quad initiative, led by the United States, consists of a comprehensive framework and platform advocating for an end to the Sudanese civil war.
