Sudan has experienced deadly fighting between the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces since April 15, which has resulted in over 3,000 deaths and 6,000 injuries to date, according to the Sudanese Health Ministry.
The Sudanese administration has expressed its desire to collaborate with all sides in order to find a resolution to the ongoing conflict.

"The Sudanese Armed Forces are ready to stop military operations immediately if the rebel militia commits to stopping attacks on civilian homes, neighborhoods and government facilities, as well as looting," the country’s Sovereign Council noted.

The statement emphasized the necessity of starting a political conversation as soon as the hostilities end in order to set up a civilian administration for the duration of the transition.
It also noted the Sudanese government had welcomed the conclusions of the Sudan Neighboring Countries Summit which was aimed at discussing ways to put an end to the ongoing crisis and had taken place earlier that day in Cairo, the capital of Egypt.

The summit's participants, as expressed in a final communique, opposed foreign meddling in Sudan's crisis and called for rapid and extensive dialogue between Sudan's conflicting factions.
It was stated that a ministerial mechanism would be established, with its first meeting to be held in Chad, to create an executive action plan to put a stop to the fighting.
