Sudanese Prime Minister Kamil Idris has appealed to the United Nations Security Council to support a comprehensive peace plan aimed at ending the country’s prolonged civil war. Speaking at the UN headquarters in New York, Idris called on the Council to “stand on the right side of history,” urging for an immediate ceasefire under joint supervision by the UN, African Union, and Arab League. The conflict, which erupted in April 2023 between Sudan’s army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF), has killed thousands and displaced millions. The RSF currently controls parts of western and southern Sudan. Idris proposed that rebel forces withdraw from occupied territories and pledged to hold free and fair elections following a transitional period to foster national dialogue. A UN spokesperson confirmed that Idris did not meet Secretary-General António Guterres during his visit. Despite earlier mediation efforts by the United States and the “Quad” group—Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE—negotiations remain stalled, leaving Sudan’s humanitarian crisis unresolved.
