UN Chief Demands Halt to Foreign Meddling in Sudan War


(MENAFN) UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres on Monday demanded an end to “external interference” in Sudan’s escalating conflict between the national army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF).

“It is clear that we have not only a Sudanese problem with an army and the Rapid Support Forces fighting each other. We have more and more, an external interference that undermines the possibility to a ceasefire and to a political solution of the problem,” Guterres told reporters at the sidelines of the 47th ASEAN Summit in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

He stressed the urgency for global actors to step back, stating: “It is the right time for the international community to tell clearly to all countries that are interfering in this war and that are providing weapons to the parties to the war, to stop doing that because the level of suffering that we are witnessing in Sudan is unbearable.”

Since April 2023, intense clashes between Sudan’s army and the RSF have continued unabated, leaving thousands dead and forcing millions to flee their homes.
