The Washington Embassy in Khartoum also added that both sides of the conflict in Sudan must commit to protecting civilians and diplomats and opening humanitarian corridors.
The European Union also declared: “We strongly condemn the conflict between the Sudanese army and the rapid reaction forces. “These conflicts threaten the unity of Sudan and we ask all parties to return to the negotiation table instead of war.” The European Union also added: “We deplore the loss of life and violations of international law and demand an immediate and unconditional cessation of hostilities.” According to the European Union, the cessation of hostilities should be a step towards an agreement on a permanent ceasefire in Sudan.
Also, the tripartite mechanism for dialogue in Sudan has also issued a statement asking all parties to create conditions for civilians to have access to food and medical care.
