On Monday, Sudan’s foreign minister met with his Iranian counterpart in Tehran to strengthen the two nations’ diplomatic ties.
Sudan’s Foreign Minister, Ali Youssef Ahmed Al-Sharif, who has been to Tehran for meetings with high-ranking Iranian officials, met with Seyed Abbas Araghchi, Iran’s Foreign Minister, on Monday evening.
During the discussion, the Iranian Foreign Minister emphasised Iran’s commitment to maintaining its principled policy of building ties with all Islamic countries, including Sudan, a key Arab and Islamic country.
Araghchi expressed remorse for Sudan’s internal wars, which have caused tremendous moral and material damage to the African country’s people and infrastructures.
He stressed the importance of preserving Sudan’s national sovereignty and territorial integrity, ending foreign interference in its affairs, and creating the conditions necessary to resolve the conflicts and achieve national consensus.
The conflict has killed more than 28,000 people, has forced millions to flee their homes and has left some families eating grass in a desperate attempt to survive as famine sweeps parts of the country.
It has been marked by gross atrocities including ethnically motivated killing and rape, according to the United Nations and rights groups.
The International Criminal Court said it was investigating alleged war crimes and crimes against humanity. The U.S. has accused the RSF and its proxies of committing genocide in the war.
