Sudan crisis: Arab League Council issues resolution to form Arab ministerial contact group

The Arab League Council issued a resolution yesterday to form an Arab ministerial contact group to communicate with the Sudanese parties and influential countries, aiming to reach a settlement of the crisis in Sudan. The resolution, made during the Council's emergency meeting in the Egyptian capital Cairo, is meant to intensify Arab efforts to find a peaceful solution to the current conflict between the Sudanese Army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) that erupted in



mid-April.

Under the resolution, the contact group would include representatives from Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and the Arab League, according to an Arab League statement. 

The committee aims to reach a complete and sustainable ceasefire in Sudan and address the causes of the crisis. It will further coordinate with international relief organizations to provide urgent humanitarian and medical support to citizens and displaced persons inside Sudan.
