The Sudanese Ministry Of Foreign Affairs Confirmed That The Statements Made By The Senior Advisor To The US President For Arab And African Affairs, Massad Boulos, Before The Security Council Regarding The Sovereignty Council’s Rejection Of An American Paper To Resolve The Crisis In Sudan, Do Not Reflect The Reality Of The Sudanese Government’s Position, Describing Them As “Inaccurate.”
The Ministry Explained, In An Official Statement, That The Government Has Dealt Positively And Responsibly With Various Initiatives And Proposals Aimed At Ending The War, Pointing Out That It Had Previously Signed The Jeddah Declaration, Approved A Number Of Humanitarian Truces, And Presented Initiatives Related To Protecting Civilians And Creating Appropriate Conditions For A Ceasefire.
The Statement Added That Khartoum Did Not Reject The Referred American Proposal, But Rather Provided A Detailed Response To It Within The Framework Of Ongoing Consultations With The US Administration, Reflecting Its Openness To Any Serious Efforts That Could Contribute To Ending The Conflict And Achieving Peace, While Preserving Sudan’s Sovereignty And National Interests.
The Ministry Of Foreign Affairs Renewed Its Affirmation That Any Initiative To End The War Must Include Stopping Foreign Support For Armed Parties, Preventing The Flow Of Weapons And Mercenaries, Along With Providing Real Guarantees For The Success Of Any Future Agreement, Calling On The International Community To Deal Realistically And Objectively With The Developments Of The Sudanese Crisis.
Massad Boulos Had Said, During His Briefing To The Security Council, That The Sovereignty Council Rejected More Than One Version Of The American Paper On Truce Arrangements, Which The Sudanese Foreign Ministry Was Quick To Deny, Emphasizing That Dialogue With Washington Is Still Ongoing, And That Sudan Is Open To Any Efforts That Achieve A Sustainable Peace That Preserves The Country’s Unity And Stability.
