The Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD) called on both parties to the conflict in Sudan for an immediate and unconditional ceasefire.
This came during an extraordinary summit held in the Ugandan city of Entebbe to discuss the situation in Sudan, as well as the crisis between Somalia and Ethiopia after the latter signed an agreement with the separatist Somaliland region that provides it with a seaport.
The summit was held under the chairmanship of Djibouti, which chairs the current session of IGAD, and attended by the presidents of Kenya, Somalia, South Sudan, and Uganda.
The summit called on the Sudanese army and the Rapid Support Forces to convene a face-to-face meeting within two weeks to pave the way for a political agreement, expressing readiness to make efforts to facilitate a comprehensive peace process to end the conflict in Sudan, and on Ethiopia and Somalia to de-escalate tensions and engage in constructive dialogue.
