Russia Vetoes UK's Resolution on Sudan Due to London's Attempt to Intervene in Country's Affairs
11:44 19.11.2024 (Updated: 11:45 19.11.2024) In late October, the Sudanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs strongly condemned the Rapid Support Forces, accusing them of carrying out "savage retaliatory campaigns" in two regions. The ministry said that these campaigns are tantamount to acts of genocide and ethnic cleansing, aimed at civilians based on their tribal and regional backgrounds.
Russia did not support the resolution on Sudan prepared by the UK and Sierra Leone in the UN Security Council because of London's attempt to leave for itself the opportunity to intervene in the affairs of this country, First Deputy Permanent Representative of Russia to the UN Dmitry Polyansky said in a statement.
"The main problem of the UK's project is that it contains a false understanding of who is responsible for the protection of the civilian population of Sudan, control and security of the borders of this state, and who can make decisions about inviting foreign forces into Sudanese territory," Polyansky wrote on Telegram.
At the same time, Polyansky noted that Russia agrees "with all colleagues on the Security Council that the conflict in
Sudan requires an early resolution."
"It is also obvious that the only way for the warring parties to resolve the conflict is to reach an agreement on a ceasefire. We see the aim of the UN Security Council to help them with this. However, this must be done consistently and openly, and not by imposing on the Sudanese the opinions of individual members through decisions of the Council," he added.
According to the UN press service, the UK and Sierra Leone's project was aimed at a ceasefire in Sudan and protecting the
civilians of this country.
Since the conflict began in April 2023, the humanitarian situation in Sudan remains catastrophic, with millions displaced and the
healthcare system collapsing. Russia has repeatedly called for a ceasefire and dialogue to address the crisis.
