خطة رباعية لإنهاء الحرب في السودان

The foreign ministers of Saudi Arabia, Egypt, the UAE, and the United States called for a humanitarian ceasefire for three months across Sudan and the launch of a comprehensive transitional process within nine months, expressing their support for the Jeddah talks and the gathering of Sudanese civil and political forces hosted by Cairo.

The four countries stated in a joint statement: At the invitation of the United States, the foreign ministers of Saudi Arabia, Egypt, the UAE, and the USA held intensive consultations regarding the conflict in Sudan, noting that it has caused the worst humanitarian crisis in the world and poses serious risks to regional peace and security.

Principles of Resolution

The statement affirmed the ministers' commitment to a set of common principles to end the conflict in Sudan, foremost among them the sovereignty, unity, and territorial integrity of Sudan, which are essential for peace and stability, and that there is no viable military solution to the conflict. The continuation of the current situation causes unacceptable suffering and risks to peace and security.

The ministers urged all parties to the conflict to facilitate rapid and safe access to humanitarian assistance without obstacles throughout Sudan, through all necessary means, and to protect civilians in accordance with international humanitarian law, their commitments under the Jeddah Declaration, and to refrain from indiscriminate aerial and ground attacks on civilian infrastructure, emphasizing that the future governance of Sudan is determined by the Sudanese people through a comprehensive transitional process characterized by transparency, free from the control of any warring party.

The ministers called for a humanitarian ceasefire, initially for three months, to enable the rapid entry of humanitarian assistance throughout Sudan, leading immediately to a permanent ceasefire, followed by the launch of a comprehensive and transparent transitional process to be concluded within nine months to meet the aspirations of the Sudanese people for a smoothly established independent government led by civilians with broad legitimacy and accountability, which is vital for the long-term stability of Sudan and the preservation of its state institutions.

The Muslim Brotherhood

The ministers clarified in the statement that the future of Sudan cannot be dictated by violent extremist groups that are affiliated with or closely linked to the Muslim Brotherhood, whose destabilizing influence has fueled violence and instability throughout the region.

External Intervention

The statement indicated that the ministers agreed to closely monitor the implementation of these timelines, affirming their readiness to exert their good offices and undertake all necessary efforts to ensure full implementation by the parties, including holding further meetings to discuss the next steps.

The statement warned of the dangers of external support for the Sudanese conflict parties, emphasizing that it exacerbates the conflict, prolongs it, and contributes to regional instability, stressing the need to end external military support.

Sudanese Participation

The ministers, in the context of their participation in supporting a peaceful resolution in Sudan, expressed their commitment to making every effort to support a negotiated settlement to the conflict with effective participation from the Sudanese Armed Forces and the Rapid Support Forces.

The ministers stressed the need to pressure all parties to the conflict to protect civilians, civilian infrastructure, and to ensure humanitarian assistance reaches those in need, and to create conditions that ensure the security of the Red Sea region more broadly and address cross-border security threats from terrorist and extremist organizations, and the conditions that allow them to spread.

Protection of Airspace

The ministers emphasized the necessity of not allowing regional and local destabilizing parties to take advantage of the ongoing conflict in Sudan, declaring their commitment to restoring peace and ending the suffering of the Sudanese people, and their readiness to cooperate with African, Arab, United Nations, and international partners to achieve these goals.

The ministers discussed urgent humanitarian needs and early recovery requirements, stressing the need to continue urging the international community to address these needs and build on recent humanitarian meetings.

Upcoming Consultations

The ministers confirmed their determination to continue discussions, consultations, and meetings at both the ministerial and sub-ministerial levels to enhance their coordinated efforts to support the end of the conflict in Sudan, including supporting the establishment and implementation of a comprehensive and transparent transition.

The ministers expressed their support for the efforts made by Saudi Arabia and the USA through the Jeddah process to achieve a permanent ceasefire in Sudan, as well as for the efforts made by Egypt regarding the gathering of Sudanese civil and political forces, which held its first round in Cairo in July 2024.

The ministers agreed to continue their consultations in this regard during the quadripartite ministerial meeting in September 2025.
