On the occasion of the donor conference for Sudan and the region, which will take place on 19 June, France reaffirms its solidarity with the Sudanese people, the main victims of the ongoing fighting between the Sudanese Armed Forces and the Rapid Support Forces.
To date, France has provided €41.3 million to address the humanitarian needs of the Sudanese people and Sudanese refugees in neighboring countries in terms of health, food security, nutrition, hygiene, shelter and care for victims of sexual violence .
France calls on all parties to protect civilians and comply with international humanitarian law, and to ensure safe, full and unimpeded access throughout the country to ensure that all necessary aid reaches the population in need. We also call for the lifting of restrictions on the deployment of humanitarian workers. We applaud the courage of humanitarian workers who risk their lives to carry out their duties.
France strongly condemns the ongoing fighting in Sudan between the Sudanese Armed Forces and the Rapid Support Forces. The violence in Darfur is particularly disturbing, both because of its scale and its ethnic dimension.
These clashes represent a dramatic setback to the transition to a Sudanese-backed civilian government.
