Sudan: Sudan Tells UN - No Imposed Solutions to Country's Conflict

What the report says

Sudan used its address to the UN General Assembly in New York to reject what its foreign minister called outside-imposed solutions to the country’s war. According to UN News, Foreign Minister Mohieldin Salim Ahmed Ibrahim spoke on Monday in place of Sudan’s de facto leader, Gen. Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, after Washington rejected Burhan’s visa application.

The minister described that move as a violation of sovereign equality and asked the United Nations to formally record and examine the incident under the 1947 Headquarters Agreement. He also urged an end to foreign intervention in Sudan and said any peace effort must address the roots of the conflict rather than impose political conditions from abroad.

In his remarks, Salim Ahmed Ibrahim blamed the Rapid Support Forces for the civil war that began in April 2023, accusing the group of attacks on civilians and health facilities. He called for stopping weapons, ammunition and mercenary flows into Sudan, and criticized international sanctions as harmful to the economy and national sovereignty.

He also pressed for reform of UN institutions, especially the Security Council, while saying Sudan remains willing to work with UN offices on humanitarian aid, sexual violence in conflict, children in conflict and human rights. The speech reflects Khartoum’s effort to frame the conflict as both a security crisis and a sovereignty issue on the global stage.
