Khartoum / Al Hamish’s voice – September 13, 2025 – The Government of Sudan welcomed any regional or international effort aimed at ending the ongoing war but stressed that any initiative must be based on full respect for the country’s sovereignty and its legitimate institutions.
In a press statement obtained by Al Hamish’s Voice, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said that Khartoum firmly rejects “any attempt to equate a legitimately elected government with a racist terrorist militia that relies on foreign mercenaries.” It affirmed that Sudan’s right to defend its people and its land is an inherent right that cannot be compromised.
The statement noted that the government regrets the international community’s failure to compel the militia to comply with Security Council resolutions, including Resolution 2736 on the ceasefire in Al Fashir and Resolution 1591, which imposes an arms embargo on Darfur.
It stressed that the continued siege of cities and the obstruction of humanitarian aid only exacerbate the crisis.
This stance comes in response to the joint statement issued yesterday by the Quartet (Egypt, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and the United States) following consultations in Washington.
The statement described the conflict in Sudan as “the world’s worst humanitarian crisis,” and called for a three-month humanitarian truce leading to a permanent ceasefire, to be followed by a nine-month civilian political transition.
The Quartet statement added that a military solution is not possible, stressing the need to facilitate the delivery of humanitarian aid and to end external military support to the warring parties.
It further emphasized that the future of governance in Sudan must be determined by the Sudanese people through an inclusive and transparent transitional process.
Khartoum considers peace in Sudan to be a purely national responsibility, to be determined by state institutions in accordance with the Constitutional Document governing the transitional period. It stressed that the international community should focus on lifting the siege on Al Fashir and facilitating the delivery of humanitarian aid, rather than attempting to impose solutions that disregard the legitimacy of the state.
