Filippo Grandi, head of the United Nations refugee agency, warns of dire consequences if a cease-fire is not negotiated soon in Sudan. The ongoing conflict has displaced over nine million internally and forced 1.5 million refugees into neighboring countries. Without a cease-fire and reinforced relief efforts, millions may seek asylum, with potential implications for Europe.
Grandi addresses European concerns, emphasizing the need for support in handling Sudanese refugees. Without assistance, refugees may move towards Libya, Tunisia, and across the Mediterranean. Urgent international action is urged to avert a humanitarian catastrophe.
General Abdel Fattah Burhan and the Rapid Support Forces have been in charge of the violent conflict in Sudan since it started ten months ago, and 1.5 million refugees have fled. The situation is complex, with various militias controlling different regions, posing challenges for civilians.
Countries near Sudan, including Chad, the Central African Republic, South Sudan, and Ethiopia, face their own challenges and cannot provide adequate support to refugees without international assistance. Grandi stresses the importance of addressing this crisis before it further destabilizes the region.
The conflict in Sudan is becoming increasingly fragmented, with various militias controlling different areas. Grandi notes a heightened risk of abuse of civilians, leading to more displacements. International attention is urged, highlighting the severity of the crisis.
Grandi emphasizes the importance of not neglecting crises in countries like Sudan, Congo, Afghanistan, and Myanmar, even amid the ongoing situations in Ukraine and Gaza. Balancing attention and resources is crucial to addressing multiple humanitarian challenges.
Regional partners, including Saudi Arabia and the United States, are engaged in diplomatic efforts to end the Sudanese conflict. Allegations of war crimes persist on both sides, with indirect discussions brokered by the US and Saudi Arabia. The urgent need for a cease-fire remains paramount.
As Sudan teeters on the brink of a worsening humanitarian crisis, the international community faces a pivotal moment to avert further displacement and suffering. Grandi’s warning underscores the urgency for diplomatic solutions and increased humanitarian aid to prevent a potential refugee influx towards Europe. The conflict’s complexities demand concerted efforts for lasting stability in the region.
