Africa United in Face of Landslides in Sudan: AU Calls for Ceasefire
"The Chairperson [...] calls on all Sudanese stakeholders to silence the guns and unite in facilitating the swift and effective delivery of emergency humanitarian assistance to those in need," said Mahamoud Ali Youssouf, Chairperson of the African Union Commission.
Last Sunday, torrential rains triggered landslides in the village of Tarasin, claiming over 1,000 lives, according to media reports.
ℹ Since April 2023, Sudan has faced a conflict between the Sudanese Armed Forces, led by Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), under Mohamed Hamdan Daglo, resulting in tens of thousands killed, millions displaced, and looming famine.
In July 2025, the RSF’s declaration of a parallel administration was condemned by Sudan’s government and the UN Security Council as a threat to national unity. The African Union called for rejecting this move, warning it undermines peace and Sudan’s stability.
