An urgent invitation from the Chairman of the African Union Commission on Sudan

These attacks have resulted in the killing of civilians, including children and human workers, which is unacceptable and represents a serious violation of international humanitarian law and human rights law.

He called for an immediate and unconditional endowment of hostilities, and calls on those who impose the siege on El Fasher to lift it immediately and ensure that humanitarian aid is unimaginable.

Also, stopping the escalation is an urgent matter to protect civilians and restore peace.

The African Union urges all the parties concerned to exercise the maximum levels of restraint and refrain from any actions that may exacerbate tensions. The safety of the Sudanese people must remain a top priority, and all efforts must be directed towards creating a favorable environment to achieve peace and sustainable development.

The African Union renewed its call to all Sudanese parties to show the political will by adhering to a permanent ceasefire and seriously engaging in a comprehensive political process led by the Sudanese themselves.

The African Union affirmed its commitment to work with Sudanese stakeholders, regional partners, and the international community to protect civilians, restore peace, stability, and democratic rule in Sudan.
