US repeats calls for warring parties to immediately stop war in Sudan

Matthew Miller, the U.S. Department of State Spokesperson, said on Wednesday that the United States reminds the RSF and SAF of their commitments under the May 11 Jeddah Declaration of Principles to Protect the Civilians of Sudan, including by allowing unhindered humanitarian access, protecting civilians and their human rights, and upholding international humanitarian law and international human rights law.

Matthew Miller, the U.S. Department of State Spokesperson, said on Wednesday that the United States reminds the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) and Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) of their commitments under the May 11 Jeddah Declaration of Principles to Protect the Civilians of Sudan, including by allowing unhindered humanitarian access, protecting civilians and their human rights, and upholding international humanitarian law and international human rights law.

Miller stated, “There is no acceptable military solution to this conflict – ‘victory’ by either side would exact an intolerable toll on the Sudanese people and their nation. The United States reiterates its call for the RSF and SAF to immediately stop the fighting and return to talks toward a negotiated exit from this conflict.”

The United States said that it is aware of reports that the RSF and SAF are fighting within the city of Nyala and that the RSF may have encircled the city in preparation for an assault, potentially depriving civilians of the ability to flee to safety, calling on RSF to immediately cease civilian neighbourhoods shelling and protect civilians in Nyala, Omdurman, and throughout Sudan.

“This reckless war, which began more than six months ago, has resulted in civilian deaths, the displacement of millions, and immense suffering that will affect generations of Sudanese. Women and children are bearing the intolerable brunt of this conflict.” Miller added.
