Time is not on our side in Sudan. Escalating drone warfare, the growing risk of famine and the devastating toll on civilians underline the urgency of action. The UK welcomes growing Quad-Quintet coordination and stands ready to support. Thank you to 🇨🇭🇺🇳 for convening.
Working Together in #Geneva 21 States & 5 international organizations agreed at the 6th Consultative Meeting on #Sudan to strengthen coordination of #Peace efforts. The population needs a ceasefire. The risk of widespread famine is stronger than ever.

Appalled by reports of at least 31 civilians killed in a drone strike in Sudan's Blue Nile State. At UNGA, we highlighted the devastating impact of drone warfare on civilians. I reiterate our call: civilians must be protected and international humanitarian law upheld.

نقف إلى جانب الشعب السوداني الذي يعاني من أسوأ أزمة إنسانية مروعة في العالم. ندين ارتكاب الفظائع وعرقلة المساعدات واستهداف عمال الإغاثة، وندعو لوقف تغذية الحرب بالسلاح والمال.

A powerful moment - standing in the ruins of British Embassy Khartoum.
في الأسبوع الماضي، ذهب الممثل البريطاني الخاص للسودان ريتشارد كراودر بصحبة زملاء سياسيين في زيارة إلى الخرطوم، وهي أول زيارة منذ اندلاع الحرب في السودان منذ أكثر من ثلاث سنوات. إننا نظل ملتزمين تجاه الشعب السوداني، ولن نغض بصرنا عما يحدث في هذا الوقت العصيب.

We cannot allow this to happen again.
I am deeply alarmed by the immediate and escalating risk of new atrocities in Sudan. We have pushed the UN Security Council to agree unanimously that the RSF assault on El Obeid must stop, that civilians must be protected, and that there will be no impunity for the perpetrators of war crimes. I’ve met survivors of previous atrocities, now camped at the Sudan border. We cannot let this happen again.

Reports of an imminent major offensive on El Obeid Sudan are incredibly alarming. The RSF must pull back immediately. All parties must urgently de-escalate, allow civilians to leave safely, and let aid in. Too many lives have been lost in Sudan. This offensive must stop now

A significant step forwards…
Together with our allies, the UK is backing preparations for an inclusive, civilian-led dialogue to chart a path to peace in Sudan. We welcome the progress made in Addis Ababa. gov.uk/government/news/joint…

“We want to bring the focus of the world onto what is happening in Sudan.”
After 3 years of war, what is happening in Sudan is the greatest humanitarian crisis of the 21st century.   The UK is announcing over £140 million this year for humanitarian support and victims of sexual violence ⬇️

Powerful words from my colleague Jocelyn @NatiqBritanee . Yesterday in Berlin wasn’t the day that Sudan’s tragic war ended, but it was progress - and every step counts.
ثلاث سنوات من الحرب في السودان، وملايين ما زالوا بحاجة لمساعدة عاجلة. دعم المملكة المتحدة مستمر، مع 146 مليون جنيه إسترليني جديدة. حان وقت تحويل الكلمات إلى أفعال. المزيد في الفيديو. #السودان

Accountability in action.
Along with @franceonu and @USUN, the UK has secured the sanctioning of four RSF commanders under the @UN sanctions regime for Sudan. @YvetteCooperMP has been clear: those responsible for violence and human rights abuses in Sudan must be held to account.

A collective message from the Security Council, issued during the UK’s Presidency.
The @UN Security Council has condemned the ongoing violence in Sudan, including the RSF’s continued assault on the Kordofans region and the atrocities committed in El Fasher. Abuses committed against Sudan’s civilians, including sexual violence, may constitute war crimes.
