Norway, the United Kingdom, and the United States (The Troika), condemns the escalating바카라 사이트¯violence and human rights바카라 사이트¯abuses in Sudan, especially attacks by the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) in West, Central and South Darfur. These have included - according to credible reports - mass killings including바카라 사이트¯ethnic targeting바카라 사이트¯of non-Arab and other communities,바카라 사이트¯killings of traditional leaders, unjust detentions,바카라 사이트¯and바카라 사이트¯obstruction of humanitarian aid.바카라 사이트¯We are also concerned by reports of violence in the town of Jebel Aulia, on the White Nile River, where there are reports of targeting of civilians.  

We reiterate that there is no acceptable military solution to the conflict, and call for an end to the바카라 사이트¯fighting. We urge the RSF and Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) to refrain from actions that would further divide Sudan along ethnic lines or draw other forces into their conflict.  Both sides바카라 사이트¯need to바카라 사이트¯de-escalate and engage in meaningful discussions that lead to a ceasefire and unhindered humanitarian바카라 사이트¯access.바카라 사이트¯ To that end, we welcome the recent resumption of talks in Jeddah, co-facilitated by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia,바카라 사이트¯the바카라 사이트¯United States,바카라 사이트¯and the Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD), which is also participating on behalf of the African Union, and recognise the initial humanitarian commitments made by the parties on November 7.

Achieving a sustainable바카라 사이트¯solution requires ending violence and resuming a civilian-owned political process to form a civilian government and restore Sudan바카라 사이트™s democratic transition. We welcome the efforts of the Sudanese people as they work to support humanitarian responses, demand an end to the war, and resume the stalled political transition.

The Troika countries are proud to be among the largest donors in support of the Sudanese people, and we will continue to focus on efforts to ensure that diverse communities are able to participate meaningfully in building Sudan바카라 사이트™s democratic future, at the same time as supporting displaced persons and other at-risk communities through life-saving humanitarian aid.
