Ethiopia Calls for Peaceful Resolution of Crisis in Sudan

Addis Ababa, October 25, 2021 (FBC) – The Ethiopian Government has called on parties in Sudan to resolve their disagreements peacefully.

The statement issued on Monday by Ethiopian Foreign Ministry is presented as follows.

Statement of the Government of Ethiopia on the Current Situation in the Sudan

The Government of Ethiopia is closely following developments in the Sudan. This particularly emanates from the strong brotherly ties that have existed between the peoples of the two countries for centuries.

It will be recalled that the Ethiopian Government has played a significant role in successfully mediating the establishment of a coalition government, consisting of its civilian and military components, and to adopt the constitutional document of the transitional period.

The Government of Ethiopia, therefore, calls on all parties for calm and de-escalation in the Sudan and to exert every effort towards a peaceful end to this crisis.

In this regard, the Government of Ethiopia fully supports the completion of Sudan’s transition to democracy and the respect for the Constitutional Document of the Transitional Period.

Ethiopia reiterates the need for the respect of the sovereign aspirations of the people of the Sudan and the non-interference of external actors in the internal affairs of the Sudan.

The Government of Ethiopia is confident that the people of the Sudan would ultimately find the wisdom to address these challenges in a manner that contributes towards a peaceful resolution of the crisis.

The Government and people of Ethiopia, as always, will continue to stand firm with the democratic aspirations of the people of the Sudan.
