*October 28th, 2024* *At the #UN #SecurityCouncil Briefing on the Situation in Sudan.* UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres briefed the Security Council and spoke of an "utter humanitarian crisis in Sudan." He further characterized the Situation in Sudan as one of mass killings, sexual violence, and what he described as ravaged by "nightmares" of hunger, famine, food insecurity, disease, collapsed infrastructure, the largest displacement in the world, extreme weather, and mass ethnic violence particularly in El Fasher. H. E Ambassador Amar Bendjama, Permanent Representative of Algeria delivered the statement on behalf of A3 Plus members of Council: 🇩🇿 Algeria, Mozambique 🇲🇿, Sierra Leone 🇸🇱 and Guyana 🇬🇾. Ambassador Bendjama expressed the A3 Plus' strong dismay at "The renewed clashes in Khartoum and El Fasher, particularly the attacks launched by the RSF against this city," which he stated were "a blatant example of the disregard demonstrated not only towards this Council, but also towards the international community." The A3 Plus paid "tribute to all the Sudanese women who are showing unprecedented levels of resilience and courage. This must spur us to redouble our efforts to urgently relieve them of the abhorrent suffering they continue to endure." The A3 Plus underlined four points: Firstly, "Convincing the parties to commit to a ceasefire has to be our ultimate priority. This goal however, must allow for contribution from all regional and international actors, driven by fairness, goodwill and international law." Secondly, "any endeavor for the protection of civilians has to go in line with accountability mechanisms to end the impunity and to bring the perpetrators of atrocities, crimes and all types of violations to justice." Thirdly, "the Sudanese parties will have to demonstrate a greater commitment to the respect of international humanitarian law and the principles of huma rights...strongly condemning "the horrific violations perpetrated by the RSF last Friday in Al Sireha السريحة village, where at least 124 civilians were killed." Fourth, "Coordination is necessary at the international and regional levels between the multiple mediation mechanisms, while preserving the central role of the UN and the AU, and building on the Jeddah process." The A3 Plus concluded by calling on "Sudanese parties to care about the future of the Sudanese people and put the interest and the unity of their nation above all other considerations."
