Sudan: External powers must stop fueling war

The European Parliament just adopted a position on the escalation of the war and the humanitarian catastrophe in Sudan. The Greens/EFA Group calls for an immediate ceasefire, unrestricted humanitarian access and accountability for those responsible for war crimes and possible genocide.

Greens/EFA and Volt MEP Nela Riehl, shadow rapporteur for the resolution, comments:

“What is happening in Sudan is a humanitarian catastrophe made worse by foreign interference. We cannot stay silent while external powers, including the United Arab Emirates, continue to fuel this war with arms, money and mercenaries. The flow of arms has to stop. Women and girls are facing rape, sexual slavery and forced marriage on a horrific scale and gender based violence is being used as a weapon of war - as many international observers see clear signs of a genocide in the making. We must press for an immediate ceasefire, open humanitarian corridors and hold the perpetrators accountable.”
