G7 foreign ministers and the EU’s foreign policy chief have issued a joint statement demanding an immediate end to attacks in Sudan's El-Obeid, specifically targeting the Rapid Support Forces and associated groups. The call comes amid concerns of escalating atrocities and risks to civilian populations in the region. The international group also urged all parties involved in the Sudanese conflict, including the Sudanese army, to fully cease hostilities and prioritize the safety of civilians. Simultaneously, they emphasized the critical need for unimpeded humanitarian aid access throughout Sudan. The G7 also advocates for a broader arms embargo to help de-escalate the violence. Ultimately, the statement stresses the importance of engaging in meaningful negotiations to resolve the ongoing crisis and foster a path towards peace.
