The Secretary-General of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) Hissein Brahim Taha has reiterated his call for an immediate ceasefire between the Sudanese Armed Forces and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) in Sudan.

Taha made the call soon after an earlier statement in which he called for the General Command of the Sudanese Armed Forces and the RSF to stop fighting and resort to dialogue and negotiations, reports SPA.

He expressed deep concern about the continued fighting and violence, which killed and wounded many people in Sudan.

He warned that escalating the fight will have dire consequences for civilians and the humanitarian situation in Sudan, especially since the ongoing battles are fought in Sudanese cities.

He stressed the OIC’s support for international efforts aimed at reaching a truce in the country with the aim of delivering humanitarian assistance and facilitating the evacuation of the injured and those stranded in areas close to the clashes.

He urged a return to the peaceful track and to negotiations in order to overcome the dangerous crisis that threatens Sudan’s security, integrity and unity.
