US condemnation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

US Senior Advisor for Arab and African Affairs Massad Boulos condemned the drone attack on Khartoum airport and other civilian sites, allegedly carried out by the Rapid Support Forces (RSF).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

said in a tweet on an unnamed platform that civilian targets should not be targeted, and that civilian airports are critical to the movement of humanitarian supplies and humanitarian workers. He stressed that these attacks represent an additional obstacle to the access of much-needed humanitarian assistance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Boulos stressed the need to stop these attacks, accept a humanitarian truce by the warring parties, move towards a permanent ceasefire, and facilitate the transition to a civilian government based on an inclusive national dialogue<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He also stressed that there is no military solution to this bloody conflict, stressing the need to immediately and categorically end external support for any of the parties to the conflict in Sudan, as any continued assistance that contributes to the continuation of the fighting will bear direct responsibility for prolonging the conflict and the suffering of the Sudanese people<\/p>\n\n\n\n
