UNSC Adopts Resolution to End Organization's Political Mission in Sudan
UNITED NATIONS (Sputnik) - The UN Security Council on Friday adopted a resolution to end the United Nations Integrated Transition Assistance Mission in Sudan (UNITAMS).
The resolution stipulates that the UNITAMS mission must end its activities and operations on December 4.
Fourteen of the UN Security Council's 15 members adopted the resolution, while Russia abstained since its key concerns remain unaddressed in the document.
"[...] The Mission no longer corresponds to the changed reality in the country. In fact, it acted in the interests of only one political group, which had no mass support in Sudanese society. [...] We assume that our common goal was to [...] create a favorable setting for the productive work of Mr. Ramtane Lamamra, whom Secretary-General appointed his Personal Envoy for Sudan. The resolution that we adopted today should have accomplished these tasks. Alas, thanks to the efforts of some of our Western colleagues, it has essentially turned into a tool to put pressure on Khartoum," Russia's Deputy Permanent Representative to the UN Anna Evstigneeva said.
The British resolution follows the
Sudanese government's decision in November to terminate UNITAMS. In its letter sent to UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres, the government indicated that the mission of the world organization had only worsened the situation in the country and no longer meets the aspirations of the people and authorities.
At the same time, the letter noted that the Sudanese Cabinet of Ministers was ready to work constructively with the UN to develop new solutions that could bring positive results for the country.
The UN Integrated Transition Assistance Mission in Sudan, a special political mission, was established on June 3, 2020. Its goal was to support Sudan during its first year of political transition to democracy. It was extended twice, each time for a period of 12 months.
However, the situation in Sudan escalated in April this year due to disagreements between army chief Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, who is also chairman of the Sovereignty Council, and the head of the
Rapid Support Forces, Mohammed Hamdan Dagalo.
The main contradictions between them relate to the timing and methods of forming unified armed forces, as well as who should become the commander-in-chief of the army. On April 15, clashes began between the two organizations.
According to the
UN, more than 10,000 people were killed in Sudan as a result of the conflict.
