The General Conference of Arab Parties affirmed on Wednesday its support for Sudan and its people in their “defense of the independence, sovereignty, and unity of Sudan.”
The Conference condemned external interference by the United States, Britain, France, Germany, “Israel,” the United Arab Emirates, and Chad, warning against the dangers posed by their involvement in the ongoing war in the African country.

It also expressed deep concern over the deteriorating situation in Sudan since the outbreak of the “West and Zionism’s war of colonization, domination, and settlement in mid-April 2023,” adding that “this war has destabilized Sudan, inflicted significant damage to its unity, destroyed its basic infrastructure, undermined its economic capabilities, and left its citizens displaced, refugees, dead, or missing.”
Meanwhile, the organization praised the role of the “Sudanese army and popular resistance in confronting this foreign invasion.”

It called for “forming a broader and stronger advocacy front for Sudan at the Arab, regional, and international levels to support the country, its people, its army, and its popular resistance, to the extent that enhances the capability of the Sudanese state to respond to aggression, restore stability, impose security, and preserve Sudan’s unity in terms of its land, people, sovereignty, independence, and identity.”
It also indicated that “the Arab League is required to play its national role in standing by Sudan and supporting it in this critical juncture in its history.”
Moreover, the Conference called on “the Arab governments involved in the war of hegemony, colonization, and settlement in Sudan, particularly the ruling regimes in Chad, Central Africa, Niger, Burkina Faso, and Mali, to halt their operations to settle their populations in Sudan, in implementation of the Western plan aimed at demographic change in Sudan.”

It emphasized the necessity of “returning the settlers to their original countries, vacating the homes of Sudanese citizens they occupied, evacuating all civilian property that the Rapid Support Forces militia enabled them to occupy,” in addition to “returning all the money looted from Sudan that contributed to impoverishing a wide segment of the country’s original citizens and causing the bankruptcy of public and private economic institutions.”
Finally, the Conference called on “mercenaries engaged in fighting alongside the Rapid Support Forces militia from all African countries to return to their countries and refrain from participating in the criminal operations carried out by the militia against Sudan and Sudanese [people].”
