Download logoSince the outbreak of the Sudanese crisis in April 2023, the leadership of the African Union Commission has sought to bridge the divides among Sudanese stakeholders and foster an environment conducive to ending the armed conflict—thereby ensuring peace and stability in Sudan—by embedding a culture of dialogue to build a shared national vision.
Therefore, the leadership of the African Union Commission has consistently called for upholding unity and national institutions, and for working to consolidate the democratic state.
In this context, the leadership of the Commission welcomes the launch of an initiative to facilitate a Sudanese-Sudanese dialogue within Sudan, under the supervision of an independent committee of Sudanese elders.
To ensure the success of this ambitious political process, the Commission’s leadership recommends that consultations encompass all Sudanese civil, political, and societal stakeholders, based on the principles of inclusivity and genuine Sudanese ownership and leadership.
The ultimate goal should be a united, sovereign, and peaceful Sudan governed by legitimate civilian institutions, with one national security architecture and effective mechanisms for resolving political and social differences peacefully.
Undoubtedly, the initiative reinforces the African Union’s roadmap and the track of the Quintet Mechanism within a coherent strategy led by Sudanese stakeholders.
