Communiqué of the 1209th Meeting of the Peace and Security Council held on 18 April 2024 on the Situation in Sudan.

The Council strongly condemned the ongoing war in Sudan and its adverse impact on the Sudanese people and the Region, and demanded that the warring parties immediately stop the fighting and prioritize the interests of Sudan and its people. While reaffirming the continued importance and relevance of the AU Roadmap for the Resolution of the Conflict in the Republic of Sudan, the Council welcomed the establishment of the High-Level Panel on Sudan and commended the Chairperson of the AU Commission H.E. Moussa Faki Mahamat and High-Level Panel for the steps taken thus far in mobilizing support for the AU strategy towards an all-Sudanese inclusive political dialogue. The Council also requested, to this end, the AU Commission to present options for the investigation of the atrocities and accountability and report these to Council in due course. Lastly, the Council decided to undertake a solidarity field visit to Port Sudan, Sudan and engage with the stakeholders on the ground.
