Shakhboot bin Nahyan joins Sudan conference in Berlin

The conference reflects continued international momentum in support of Sudan, building on the outcomes of the Paris 2024 and London 2025 conferences, as part of joint efforts to enhance security and stability and to advance a civilian-led political process.

As civilians continue to bear the brunt of the ongoing conflict, the conference – marking the third anniversary of the war in Sudan – sought to strengthen the humanitarian response, advance ceasefire efforts, and support a comprehensive political solution and a civilian-led transition.

In his remarks, Sheikh Shakhboot bin Nahyan emphasised the urgent need to end the war, which continues to exact a heavy toll on civilians. He also condemned all violations by both parties to the conflict, stressing the importance of protecting civilians.

Sheikh Shakboot affirmed that the UAE has been steadfast in its position on the crisis in Sudan since it began in April 2023. The UAE’s primary focus remains on achieving an immediate ceasefire, including a humanitarian truce between the two warring Sudanese parties as soon as possible; reaching a peaceful solution to the conflict through an independent, civilian-led transition; and addressing the severe humanitarian crisis by providing urgent relief aid.

He stated that, through the Quad, the UAE has consistently called for an immediate and unconditional humanitarian truce to ensure unimpeded humanitarian access across Sudan, secure a permanent ceasefire, and support a transitional process towards a civilian government independent of the warring parties and extremist groups.

He also emphasised the importance of concerted regional and international efforts, underscoring the need to spare no effort to end the civil war. He reaffirmed a shared commitment to all endeavours to alleviate the suffering of the Sudanese people and to advance their legitimate aspirations for security, stability, and a dignified life.

Sheikh Shakboot also met a number of officials on the sidelines of the conference to discuss regional developments and explore ways to strengthen coordination and cooperation in support of international peace and security.

The UAE affirms its steadfast commitment to supporting all efforts to address this catastrophic crisis and to working alongside regional and international partners, particularly in Africa, to ensure stability and sustainable development for the Sudanese people. This reflects the core values of humanitarian solidarity, deeply rooted in the UAE’s leadership and people.
