“A Way Forward”: US Urges Sudan’s Warring Sides to Accept Peace Plan at UN Security Council | APT - video Dailymotion

APT

The United States urged Sudan’s warring parties to accept a peace plan without preconditions during a United Nations Security Council meeting, as the country’s civil war continues to devastate civilians.  US Ambassador to the UN Jeffrey Bartos said responsibility for ending the conflict lies with Sudan’s Armed Forces and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF), calling on both sides to halt attacks on civilians and allow full humanitarian access.  US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Washington’s immediate goal is a cessation of hostilities into the new year to enable aid deliveries, while warning that foreign weapons supplies are fueling the conflict. Sudan’s war, which began in April 2023, has displaced millions and killed tens of thousands.  #Sudan #SudanWar #UNSecurityCouncil

00:00Let me be clear. The onus is on the Sudanese Armed Forces and the Rapid Support Forces

00:06to end this horrifying conflict now. Under President Trump's leadership and at his direct

00:14instruction, Secretary Rubio and Senior Advisor Boulos have offered a way forward

00:20via a humanitarian truce. We urge both belligerents to accept this plan without

00:26preconditions immediately. We also call on all parties to honor their humanitarian

00:32commitments, including refraining from attacking civilians and allowing full, safe and unhindered

00:38humanitarian access throughout the country. We denounce in the strongest terms the December

00:4613th targeting of UN peacekeeping. Supplying arms to any of the parties prolongs the conflict

00:52and if the weapons are provided to parties in Darfur in the absence of committee approval

00:58is in the is in violation of the UN arms embargo. This needs to stop since the secretariat last

01:07briefing on Sudan in October. Finally, we encourage the 1591 committee to utilize the tools at its

01:14disposal, including sanctions to hold to account those who are committing violations of international

01:20humanitarian law or human rights law or atrocities in Darfur.

01:27Thank you, President. And I thank the briefers for their remarks.

01:31There is no military solution to this conflict. We call on both the SAF and the RSF to urgently

01:38agree a humanitarian pause and to advance a comprehensive Sudanese owned and civilian led political transition.

01:47We also call for full compliance with the arms embargo and urge all states to refrain from providing financial

02:02or military support to the warring parties.

02:06Mr. President, the continued supply of weapons increasingly sophisticated and deadly remains a key driver of the conflict.

02:21Sudan is saturated with arms.

02:24Calls to end these flows have gone unheeded and there has been no accountability.

02:30Meanwhile, the parties remain unwilling to compromise or de-escalate.

02:35While they were able to stop fighting to preserve oil revenues, they have so far failed to do the same to protect their population.

02:44I am grateful for the opportunity to discuss the evolving crisis in Sudan and to offer my perspective.

02:51At no point in Sudan's modern history has the state, its institutions or its people been under such enormous threat

02:59from both internal and external forces.

03:03The risk of partition, break-up, and new catastrophic levels of violence and death are real

03:10and will be further realized if aggressive actions are not taken to end the fighting.

03:16The government of Sudan peace initiative is born not from illusion but from necessity.

03:34Not from victory but from responsibility.

03:41It is a deliberate choice to replace chaos with order, violence with law, and despair with hope.

03:59I stand for the statement and I give the floor to the representative.

04:04The required space would be觉.

04:10For example, put roadmap check on hope and this is possible as a whole topic.

04:14You can see the results with death, it can be reached for you directly.

04:16And the sexual person is now ceremonial to judge what you want to make.

04:19The Welt man exists in particular and in this service is in the field.

04:22The female person is dedicated to authority to other people.
