Organization of Islamic Cooperation plans to send delegation to Sudan amid clashes
ANKARA (AA) – The Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) plans to send a high-level delegation to Sudan for talks on the situation in the conflict-torn country.
At least 550 people have been killed and more than 4,900 injured in fighting between the Sudanese army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) since April 15, according to Sudan’s Health Ministry.
In a statement on Wednesday, the Jeddah-based grouping said an emergency meeting was held to discuss the situation in Sudan.
The OIC General Secretariat “affirmed the OIC position in support of the stability and unity of Sudan,” the statement said.
The pan-Islamic grouping called for “an immediate cease-fire, calm, restraint, a humanitarian truce, and a return to the path of dialogue and negotiations in order to take the transitional phase in Sudan to safety.”
The OIC said it will continue following up the developments in the situation in Sudan “to reach a peaceful process that achieves the aspirations of the Sudanese people.”
