Türkiye is Prepared to Help Facilitate Peace in Sudan
For the past 17 months, Sudan has been ravaged by a devastating civil war between the army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF). This conflict has resulted in countless lives lost, displacement of families, and widespread destruction. As the international community looks for ways to bring an end to this crisis, Türkiye stands ready to help facilitate peace in Sudan.
Türkiye has a long history of promoting peace and stability in the region. As a country that has experienced its own share of conflicts, Türkiye understands the importance of finding peaceful solutions to conflicts. This is why Türkiye has been actively involved in various peacekeeping efforts around the world, and now we are ready to extend our support to Sudan.
Türkiye’s President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has expressed his deep concern over the ongoing conflict in Sudan and has called for an immediate end to the violence. In a recent statement, President Erdoğan said, “We cannot turn a blind eye to the suffering of our Sudanese brothers and sisters. Türkiye is ready to do everything in its power to help bring peace to Sudan.”
Türkiye’s commitment to peace in Sudan is not just limited to words. We have already taken concrete steps towards facilitating peace talks between the warring parties. In July 2019, Türkiye hosted a meeting between Sudan’s Transitional Military Council and the Forces for Freedom and Change, which resulted in a power-sharing agreement. This agreement paved the way for a civilian-led transitional government, which was seen as a significant step towards peace in Sudan.
Furthermore, Türkiye has also been providing humanitarian aid to the people affected by the conflict in Sudan. Our humanitarian assistance includes food, medical supplies, and shelter for those who have been displaced by the violence. We understand that peace cannot be achieved without addressing the immediate needs of the people, and we are committed to doing our part in this regard.
In addition to our efforts on the ground, Türkiye has also been actively engaging with other regional and international actors to find a lasting solution to the conflict in Sudan. President Erdoğan has had discussions with leaders from neighboring countries and has also raised the issue at various international forums, including the United Nations General Assembly.
Türkiye’s involvement in Sudan goes beyond just the current conflict. Our relations with Sudan date back to the Ottoman Empire, and we have always maintained strong cultural and economic ties with the country. Türkiye has also been a major trade partner for Sudan, and we are committed to further strengthening our economic cooperation in the years to come.
As a country that has successfully dealt with its own challenges, Türkiye is well-equipped to assist in the peace process in Sudan. We believe that dialogue and diplomacy are the only ways to achieve lasting peace, and we are ready to lend our expertise and support to the people of Sudan.
In conclusion, Türkiye is prepared to help facilitate peace in Sudan. We stand in solidarity with the people of Sudan and are committed to working towards a peaceful resolution of the conflict. We urge all parties involved to come to the negotiating table and find a solution that will bring an end to the suffering of the Sudanese people. Let us all join hands and work towards a brighter and more peaceful future for Sudan.
