The European Union Friday said it has noted the signature overnight by the Sudanese Armed Forces and the Rapid Support Forces of a declaration of commitment to protect civilians three weeks into a conflict which has already cost the lives of around 600 civilians, 190 of whom were children.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“The EU appreciates the determined efforts of Saudi and American negotiators to broker the deal in Jeddah,” said a statement by Nabila Massrali, EU Spokesperson for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The value of the declaration will depend entirely on whether it is honoured by the parties and transforms the situation on the ground, it said.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The Sudanese Armed Forces and the Rapid Support Forces committed yesterday to scheduling discussions on a permanent cessation of hostilities. “While all efforts to stop the fighting are welcome, a sustainable ceasefire, rather than a schedule for it, is an urgent and overdue imperative,” it said.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The European Union will continue to work with international and regional partners on a consolidated mediation platform that can deliver a ceasefire and a return to the civilian rule that the people of Sudan have been demanding since the revolution of 2019, it added.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
