The most brutal war, which has continued to devastate the
lives of millions, especially women and children, has embroiled Sudan. This
represents a humanitarian situation that is growing worse with each passing
day, in which violence, displacement, and complete destruction occur all over
the country. As the world is observing this crisis, the need for international
intervention is getting more urgent by the day. The UAE has risen to the
occasion, taking up a very key role in peace negotiations and humanitarian
efforts aimed at ending the suffering and restoring stability to Sudan.
UAE's Role in the Peace Talks
In recent times, the UAE has taken the center stage in
finding an end to the Sudan crisis. The UAE, during a peace summit held in
Switzerland, played a crucial role in facilitating talks that aimed at
establishing routes for humanitarian aid and securing commitments to protection
for civilians caught in the crossfire. This is quite important because access
to aid in Sudan has been drastically curtailed by the fighting going on, with
many people without food, clean water, or even medical assistance.
One of the most important features of the UAE's engagement
in the peace process is protection for women and children, who are usually the
most vulnerable during wars. The UAE has called for increased efforts toward
the protection of these groups against violence, including sexual violence,
which has become all too common in tragic ways in Sudan. The UAE's diplomatic
relations have been profoundly one of ensuring that the voices of the women of
Sudan feature in discussions for peace, as they are vital in rebuilding
communities for long-term stability.
Dispelling Allegations: No Military Support to Warring
Parties
Contrary to allegations that have been flying around in the
media, the UAE has categorically denied supplying weapons or military support
to any of the factions involved in Sudan's conflict. HE Lana Nusseibeh,
Assistant Minister for Political Affairs at the UAE Ministry of Foreign
Affairs, wrote to The Economist recently to clear up the simple fact that the
UAE's role is purely a diplomatic one: to encourage dialogue and to promote
peace. The UAE certainly holds the belief that there is no other feasible end
to this war other than through negotiation toward a national cease-fire, rather
than through military intervention.
Grounded on going back to civilian-led governance, the UAE's
vision for peace in Sudan thus involves transition, which is key and important
for the attainment of lasting peace and the creation of an enabling environment
that shall allow Sudanese society to start rebuilding after years of conflict.
The UAE is working hard, with the help of international cooperation,
humanitarian assistance, and sharp diplomacy, to bring all parties to the
negotiating table for a negotiated settlement.
Humanitarian Assistance at the Heart of UAE's Mission
The situation in Sudan is unbearable, and the UAE is
reiterating its determination to do all in its power to ease the suffering of
those affected. Coming up with safe routes for delivery means the UAE is
ensuring life-saving supplies reach the affected, especially in areas most hit
by fighting. Besides that, the UAE calls for international support to enhance
humanitarian assistance in Sudan for the satisfaction of pressing needs of its
people.
It is this belief that anchors the UAE's effort: that the
Sudanese people deserve a future without conflict or fear. Urgent action must
be taken by the international community, with determination, toward a ceasefire
that will be able to keep peace negotiations going. Only through such
collective action can we hope for an end to the violence and the restoration of
hope to the Sudanese people.
The constructive role played by the UAE in Sudan's
peace-making process manifests the nation's commitment to the promotion of
peace and protection of civilians in conflict zones. Through peaceful
negotiations, the UAE has proven that a peaceful, negotiated settlement is
possible. Emphasis on civilian protection, especially that of women and
children, underlines the UAE approach to humanitarian conflict resolution. As
the world struggles through the rampage crisis of Sudan, the UAE's actions give
hope for at least some peaceful future.
The people of Sudan require the attention and support of the
world. We will collectively work to help the war come to an end and peace
ensue.
