General Assembly President Urges Collective Action on Sudan as Crisis Deepens
2024-11-26 12:00
The President of the United Nations General Assembly, Csaba Kőrösi, has called for urgent collective action to address the worsening humanitarian crisis in Sudan. In a statement released on November 26, 2024, Kőrösi expressed alarm at the escalating violence and deteriorating living conditions in the country.
“The humanitarian crisis in Sudan is reaching a critical point,” Kőrösi said. “Armed conflict, displacement, and economic instability are creating immense suffering for the people of Sudan. We must act now to prevent further escalation and alleviate the plight of those in need.”
According to the United Nations, an estimated 18.4 million people in Sudan – nearly half the population – are facing severe food insecurity. Over 6 million people have been displaced from their homes, and more than 2 million are living in refugee camps.
The crisis in Sudan has been compounded by a political and economic crisis that has gripped the country since the military coup in October 2021. The coup led to widespread protests and a crackdown on dissent by security forces. The military regime has also imposed restrictions on humanitarian aid, making it difficult for aid agencies to reach those in need.
Kőrösi urged all stakeholders in Sudan to work together to resolve the crisis. He called on the military regime to respect human rights, lift restrictions on aid delivery, and engage in meaningful dialogue with political and civil society groups.
“The people of Sudan deserve a better future,” Kőrösi said. “We must work together to end the violence, promote peace, and create a more just and equitable Sudan for all.”
The General Assembly President also called on the international community to provide urgent humanitarian assistance and to support efforts to resolve the political and economic crisis in Sudan.
“We cannot afford to wait any longer,” Kőrösi said. “The people of Sudan need our help now.”
