Khartoum, Sudan – The United Nations Security Council has unanimously agreed to extend the mandate of the United Nations Integrated Transition Assistance Mission in Sudan (UNITAMS) for another three months, until 14 February 2025.
UNITAMS was established in 2021 to support Sudan’s political transition and peace process. The mission’s mandate includes protecting civilians, promoting human rights, and facilitating dialogue between the government and armed groups.
The extension of UNITAMS’ mandate comes at a critical time for Sudan, which is facing a complex humanitarian crisis. Millions of people are in need of food, water, and shelter, and the country is struggling to recover from years of conflict and economic instability.
UNITAMS plays a vital role in providing humanitarian assistance to people in need. The mission works with a range of partners, including the Sudanese government, UN agencies, and NGOs, to deliver essential services and support peacebuilding efforts.
The extension of UNITAMS’ mandate sends a strong signal of the international community’s commitment to supporting Sudan’s transition to democracy and peace. The mission will continue to play a crucial role in protecting civilians, promoting human rights, and facilitating dialogue between the government and armed groups.
In a statement welcoming the extension of UNITAMS’ mandate, Volker Perthes, the Special Representative of the Secretary-General for Sudan and Head of UNITAMS, said: “This extension is a clear indication of the international community’s continued commitment to supporting Sudan’s political transition and peace process. UNITAMS will continue to work with all stakeholders to promote dialogue, protect civilians, and build a more stable and prosperous future for Sudan.”
The Security Council also called for all parties to the Sudan peace process to implement the terms of the Juba Peace Agreement, which was signed in 2020. The Juba Peace Agreement aims to end the conflict in Sudan and address the root causes of the crisis.
The Security Council also condemned the recent violence in Sudan and called for all parties to refrain from further violence. The Council also called for the release of all political detainees and for the restoration of internet access throughout the country.
