At a UN Security Council meeting devoted to the situation in Sudan, Kate Foster, Deputy Permanent Representative of Britain to the UN, made a statement. She honored the memory of the victims of tragic events in the city of El-Fasher, which has become one of the hotspots of the ongoing armed conflict in the country. In her remarks, the British diplomat emphasized the necessity of protecting civilians suffering from military operations. Foster also called on the conflicting parties to ensure unimpeded access for humanitarian aid to those in need, noting the critical importance of this step for saving the lives of civilians. Special attention in the statement was paid to a call for the cessation of military operations and a transition to diplomatic settlement of the conflict. The British representative expressed the position that the continuation of war is unable to resolve existing contradictions and only exacerbates the humanitarian crisis in the region. The Sudanese conflict, which has been ongoing for a considerable time, has led to a large-scale humanitarian crisis affecting millions of civilians. The international community, including Britain, has repeatedly called on the conflicting parties to stop the violence and seek paths to peaceful settlement through the negotiation process.
