President Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan of the United Arab Emirates on Thursday expressed his support for Sudan and initiatives to end the devastating war there, raging for more than a year, as well as efforts to ease the humanitarian crisis in the country.
His comments came during a phone call late Thursday with Gen. Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, head of the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF).
WAM, the official Emirati news agency, reported Sheikh Mohammed as telling Burhan that his country is keen to “support all solutions and initiatives aimed at halting escalation and ending the crisis in Sudan in a way that contributes to enhancing its stability and security and fulfilling the aspirations of its people for development and prosperity.”
Sheikh Mohammed further stressed the need to launch a peaceful dialogue to preserve Sudan’s security and stability.
