The African Union Commission has welcomed the launch of a new initiative aimed at facilitating a Sudanese-Sudanese dialogue within the country, saying the process should bring together all civil, political and societal stakeholders to chart a path towards ending the armed conflict.
The Commission, in a statement on Monday, said its leadership had since the outbreak of the Sudanese crisis in April 2023 sought to bridge divisions among Sudanese stakeholders and create conditions for peace and stability through dialogue.
The AU Commission said, “Since the outbreak of the Sudanese crisis in April 2023, the leadership of the African Union Commission has sought to bridge the divides among Sudanese stakeholders and foster an environment conducive to ending the armed conflict—thereby ensuring peace and stability in Sudan—by embedding a culture of dialogue to build a shared national vision.”
It added that the Commission’s leadership had consistently advocated the preservation of Sudan’s unity and national institutions.
“Therefore, the leadership of the African Union Commission has consistently called for upholding unity and national institutions, and for working to consolidate the democratic state,” the statement said.
