EU Supports Political Resolution of Sudan Conflict, Imposes Sanctions on Warring Parties.
Brussels: Gafar Al-Sabaki
The European Union is actively working with regional and international partners to support a political resolution to the conflict in Sudan. The EU has imposed sanctions on entities and individuals from both the Rapid Support Forces and the Sudanese Armed Forces responsible for undermining stability and committing human rights abuses. These measures aim to send a clear message that impunity will not be tolerated. The EU continues to monitor the situation closely and is committed to taking further action as necessary.
Since the beginning of the conflict, the EU has adopted three packages of restrictive measures targeting entities and individuals from the Rapid Support Forces and the Sudanese Armed Forces responsible for undermining the stability and political transition in Sudan.
The EU has also adopted sanctions to address grave human rights abuses in Sudan.
The EU is continuously monitoring the situation to assess the best possible course of action, using all the instruments of the EU foreign policy toolbox.
Via the Office of its Special Representative for the Horn of Africa, the EU has been able to engage directly with all stakeholders and pass critical messages of de-escalation.
The decision to adopt restrictive measures lies ultimately with the Council, which adopts sanctions by unanimity of its members. The European External Action Service continues to consult closely with Member States to ensure that EU action remains coherent, impactful, and aligned with the EU’s values and strategic objectives in the region.
