The Sudanese Interim Government appreciated the results of the summit and expressed its gratitude to Egypt and President Abdel-Fattah El-Sisi for hosting this important event.

Meanwhile, the RSF also welcomed the summit statement. At the same time, the group also affirmed its support for regional and international efforts to end the conflict in Sudan. RSF called on all parties involved to promote joint efforts towards a comprehensive solution to the Sudan crisis as soon as possible.

Earlier in the day, President Abdel-Fattah El-Sisi chaired the Summit of Sudan's Neighboring Countries, attended by leaders of Libya, Chad, Central African Republic, South Sudan, Ethiopia and Eritrea, along with the Secretary-General of the Arab League and the Chairman of the African Union Commission (AUC).

The Joint Statement of the Conference agreed to establish a foreign ministerial-level mechanism through which governments in the region can coordinate efforts to resolve the current conflict in Sudan. The Statement also called on all relevant parties in Sudan to engage in dialogue to initiate a comprehensive political peace process.

In related news, the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) said it had discovered a mass cemetery outside the city of El-Geneina, West Darfur, Sudan. At least 87 bodies, including some belonging to the Masalit ethnic minority, were discovered there.

Initial investigations and examinations revealed that the first 37 bodies were buried on June 20; the remaining 50 bodies were buried the following day. Among the victims were seven women and seven children.

United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Turk strongly condemned the above incident and called on all parties to promptly conduct a transparent and specific investigation.

For its part, a senior RSF official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the group “denies any connection with the events in West Darfur. We are not a party here and we are not involved in this conflict, because it is a tribal conflict.”
