The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the United States of America reaffirm the importance of the (short-term) ceasefire agreement and humanitarian arrangements in Sudan, which was signed by the Sudanese Armed Forces and the Rapid Support Forces in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, in the city of Jeddah, on May 20, 2023 AD, five weeks after the conflict. Continuing, the Sudanese people are in dire need of humanitarian aid and the return of basic services, which will be possible under the temporary ceasefire.
According to “SPA”, the facilitators (Saudi Arabia and the United States) noted during these talks that both sides did not commit themselves not to seek military gains during the 48-hour period, and before the start of the ceasefire, although the fighting in Khartoum is lighter than in the past. Before, however, the facilitators informed both sides of the conflict of violations of the ceasefire, which included attacks in Khartoum and El Obeid, air strikes, and the exploitation of weapons.
Today in Jeddah, representatives of the Follow-up and Coordination Committee engaged in constructive discussions about humanitarian aid and its delivery, and worked to include the leaders of the two parties to talk about allegations of violations of the ceasefire, and work to deliver humanitarian aid to provide relief to the needy.
In view of the continued suffering of the Sudanese people as a result of this devastating conflict, the Kingdom and the United States renew their commitment to the Sudanese people, and demand that the parties abide by their signed temporary ceasefire commitments to provide the necessary humanitarian assistance.
