The chairperson of the African Peace and Security Union (APSU), Roll Stephane Ngomat, has called for \u201can African solution\u201d for a lasting peace in the Sudan crisis, in his address to Sudanese civil society delegates at the United Nations Human Rights Council (OHCHR) on the security situation and the violation of human rights in Sudan.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As previously reported by Radio Dabanga, Sudanese community organisations who sent a joint letter<\/a> regarding the human rights situation in Sudan to the members of the OHCHR<\/a> on September 20, welcomed the announcement of a fact-finding committee<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe fighting in Sudan must stop immediately,\u201d Ngomat says in his address to Sudanese civil society, as he urged all parties \u201cto exercise restraint and get back to the table of negotiations\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After condemning violence in all its forms, he calls for the importance of promoting peace, which is this set of attitudes and behaviours that reflect respect for life, human beings, and their dignity, which must be disseminated and practiced by every Sudanese. He also called all the parties to adherence to the principle of freedom, solidarity, and tolerance between peoples, and remain vigilant so that the barbarism is forever silence in Sudan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018\u2018I seize this opportunity to launch a solemn call for a lasting ceasefire in Sudan, in order to give dialogue and negotiation a real chance; It is also necessary to underline that Africans must be involved in the search for a solution to the Sudanese crisis and take ownership of the Peace Process in Sudan.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n

APSU Chairperson Roll Stephane Ngomat therefore concluded his address, \u2018\u2018the preservation of peace depends not only on the political, economic or military contribution but above all on the active and deep commitment of Sudanese in Particular and Africans in General united in their social relations and multifaceted diversity\u2019\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
