The UAE used an urgent session of the UN Human Rights Council on the situation in El-Obeid to deliver a stark message: there is no military solution to Sudan's conflict, and the only viable path forward is an immediate and unconditional ceasefire combined with an urgent humanitarian truce.
Abu Dhabi unequivocally condemned all violations of international law committed by both warring parties across Sudan, including attacks on civilians and civilian infrastructure, and called for an expansion of the existing UN arms embargo to cover the entire Sudanese territory.
The UAE also stressed the urgent need for safe and unhindered humanitarian access to all affected areas, welcomed the outcomes of the Berlin Conference and its space for Sudanese civilian voices, and reaffirmed its commitment as a member of the Sudan Quad to advancing the civilian political track.
