Strongly appealing for peace, UAE Assistant Minister for Political Affairs Lana Nusseibeh has advocated an immediate ceasefire in Sudan. Nusseibeh also underlined the need for a civilian-led transition, therefore letting the Sudanese people determine their own future. Nusseibeh emphasized the importance of protecting citizens and ensuring that humanitarian aid is delivered to those in need. Her comments, which caught the UAE’s continuous dedication to stability and peace in the area, came during an interview with CNN’s Becky Anderson.
Nussein’s main plea is for Sudan‘s conflicts to end immediately. The civilian population has suffered greatly from ongoing conflict; so, an immediate ceasefire is necessary to stop more suffering. “Stopping the violence is crucial to protecting the lives of innocent citizens,” Nusseibeh said. Her message repeatedly emphasized the UAE’s point of view that, under international law, the protection of people and relief workers is a basic commitment, thereby stressing the need to put humanitarian issues above political disputes.
The Assistant Minister also emphasized the importance of providing cross-border and cross-line access for relief efforts throughout Sudan. She underlined that regardless of their location, help has to reach every one of the people in need. Unrestricted humanitarian access is crucial for the distribution of food, medical supplies, and other essential services to the most vulnerable populations affected by the conflict. The United Arab Emirates has shown its dedication to ending the humanitarian crisis in Sudan by becoming a prominent advocate of such initiatives.
Beyond immediate relief measures, Nusseibeh underlined the need for a political process leading to a civilian-led transition in Sudan. “It is crucial that the Sudanese people have the chance to decide their own future via a political process that is inclusive and representative,” she said. The UAE’s position is in line with more general worldwide demands for a change that honors Sudanese people’s will, therefore enabling sustainable peace and security in the area.
The UAE has consistently demonstrated strong support for a peaceful Sudanian conflict resolution, as well as humanitarian assistance.
The United Arab Emirates has contributed $70 million towards humanitarian aid from a pledge for UN agencies announced in April of the current year. Among the important UN partners receiving these monies include: One streamlined fund can deal with four different international bodies, including the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees, as well as WHO, FAO, and OCHA.
The main areas of assistance are food, health care, protection for women and children, emergency livelihoods, and shelter.
Launched an air bridge with Sudan and Chad since the crisis started, the UAE has sent 9,500 tons of food and medical supplies via 148 aid flights and a ship loaded with around 1,000 tons of desperately needed goods. The UAE has also supplied food and other basic supplies to Sudanese refugee camps in South Sudan and Chad.
At the United Nations, the UAE supports AU-led peace negotiations and keeps advocating more world support for Sudan. The UAE has praised AU authorities’ and regional leaders’ efforts to address the Sudan situation and supported demands for the groups to participate in inclusive political dialogue discussions in Addis Ababa, set for July 10–15. We also urgently address the famine threats in Sudan by enabling continuous humanitarian access.
The UAE’s emergency and humanitarian aid, support for civilian-led change in Sudan, as well as peace-making efforts all underscore the strength of its commitment to regional stability on one hand -and welfare-of the people of Sudan. Lana Nusseibeh called for an immediate ceasefire, freeing aid access and openings to all political forces in Sudan are vital first steps towards lasting peace. Should the world pay attention to these calls, hope for a peaceful and rich future will be paved by lessening of the suffering in Sudan.
