CRISIS IN SUDAN

Armed clashes broke out between the Sudanese army and the HDK on the morning of April 15 in Khartoum and other cities, the capital of Sudan, as a result of longstanding disagreements between the parties.

The “Jeddah Declaration” was signed on May 11 as a result of negotiations between the parties in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, to stop the ongoing clashes between the army and the paramilitary NGO in Sudan.

In the statement, it was stated that the Sudanese army and the HDK would refrain from any attack that would harm civilians, while stressing that the interests of the Sudanese people were a priority for both parties.

The United Nations International Organization for Migration (IOM) reported that more than 843,000 people were internally displaced due to the ongoing conflict in Sudan, and 259,000 people moved to neighboring countries.

The IOM predicted that 1.8 million people would be internally displaced if the conflict continued. (AA)
