Turkey to Mediate Sudan Conflict Amid World's Worst Humanitarian Crisis

sudan - Turkey is stepping in to mediate the conflict in Sudan which has led to the world's worst humanitarian crisis, receiving positive response from Sudanese officials.

Sudan's Sovereignty Council Chairman Abdulfettah el-Burhan welcomed Turkish President Erdogan's mediation offer to end the conflicts causing the 'world's worst humanitarian crisis' in Sudan.

President Erdogan had proposed Turkey's intervention for 'peace and stability, preservation of territorial integrity and sovereignty' in Sudan during a phone call with El-Burhan in December.

El-Burhan praised Turkey's support and successful handling of regional and international issues, expressing gratitude for Turkey's efforts in supporting Sudanese people and their choices.

El-Burhan confirmed his satisfaction with Turkey's offer to stop the war between the army and the RSF for the sake of peace and stability in Sudan, emphasizing the trust in Erdogan's and his government's supportive stance towards Sudan.

Both Turkey and the UAE have expressed readiness for cooperation in efforts to find a solution for the crisis in Sudan, with the UAE commending Turkey's diplomatic efforts.

The conflict in Sudan between the army and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) since April 15, 2023, due to disagreements on military reform and integration, has resulted in over 20,000 casualties and millions displaced, leading to a severe humanitarian crisis.

Turkey's increasing role in the international arena, highlighted by President Erdogan's mediation in the Horn of Africa and the recent Sudanese crisis, has drawn attention and recognition globally.
