Spain: Spain's foreign minister on Friday said that the situation in Sudan has become 'unsustainable,' as two years of war have left millions displaced and more than 150,000 people dead. Jose Manuel Albares stressed the urgent need for a ceasefire and emphasized the protection of civilians amidst the ongoing conflict.

According to Anadolu Agency, Albares expressed his concerns on US social media company X, highlighting the continuous and serious violations of human rights that have plagued the region. He specifically pointed out the takeover of the city of El-Fasher last October as a significant event in the ongoing conflict.

In his statements, Albares underlined Spain's commitment to humanitarian efforts, declaring that Madrid will continue to provide aid to the Sudanese population through the Spanish Agency for International Development Cooperation (AECID). Furthermore, he assured support for all ongoing efforts aimed at achieving peace and stability in the region.

The crisis in Sudan has intensified since the war between the Sudanese army and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) erupted in April 2023. The conflict has resulted in the deaths of tens of thousands and the displacement of about 13 million people. The RSF currently controls all five states of the Darfur region in the west, with the exception of some northern parts of North Darfur, which remain under army control. Meanwhile, the army maintains control over most areas of the remaining 13 states across the south, north, east, and center, including the capital Khartoum.
