The Sudanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced its rejection of a resolution proposed by Britain to the United Nations Human Rights Council, saying that it is wrong in describing what is happening in Sudan, and is prejudiced against the Sudanese army and does not take into account the real priorities of Sudan at this phase.
The British resolution includes a demand to form a three-member investigative mission regarding the violations and crimes during the war in Sudan.
The Sudanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated in a statement, “Some Western circles since the end of August have launched an organized political and media campaign, supported by many non-governmental organizations, to urge the Human Rights Council to adopt a resolution on the current crisis in Sudan, which is flawed as it lacks objectivity and fairness.”
The statement continued: “Because it equates between the Sudanese army and the RSF and includes a demand to form a so-called fact-finding committee.”
The statement emphasized that the move led by Britain and joined by some Western countries faces rejection from groups to which Sudan geographically and politically belongs.
Despite this, Britain proceeded to propose the resolution that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs rejected categorically, considering it biased in describing what was happening in Sudan correctly.
Since mid-April, the Sudanese army and the RSF have been engaged in a war that has left more than 5,000 dead, in addition to over 5 million displaced and refugees inside and outside the country, according to the United Nations.
