G7 calls for immediate ceasefire in Sudan war

G7 foreign ministers issued a joint statement calling for an immediate and unconditional ceasefire in Sudan, marking the second anniversary of the conflict outbreak.

They urged both the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and Sudan’s Rapid Support Forces (RSF), to engage in serious constructive negotiations to end the ongoing violence.

The war in Sudan started in April 2023, sparked by a power struggle between the army and the Rapid Support Forces, shattering hopes for a transition to civilian rule.
