Brussels, July 17, 2026 (SUNA) – Minister of Finance and Economic Planning Dr. Gebreil Ibrahim said ending the war in Sudan requires “halting external support for the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) militia,” strengthening the humanitarian response, and supporting a national political process that leads to lasting peace.In a post on his official Facebook page, Gebreil said he met at the European Parliament headquarters in Brussels, accompanied by Ambassador Abdelbagi Kabir, with Hilde Vautmans, Chair of the European Parliament’s Africa Delegation, and Victoria García Pérez, the European Parliament’s Rapporteur on Sudan.He said he briefed the meeting on the latest political, security, and humanitarian developments in Sudan, as well as the impact of the war on civilians and state institutions. He stressed the importance of the European Union’s role in curbing external interference and supporting a political solution, while reaffirming the government’s commitment to the Jeddah Declaration and its call for a comprehensive Sudanese-Sudanese dialogue without exclusion.The Minister urged the European Union to “condemn the crimes of the RSF militia, work toward designating it as a terrorist organization, and refrain from equating it with the Sudanese Armed Forces.” He warned of the militia’s continued threats to civilians and reiterated Sudan’s categorical rejection of “any attempts to undermine its territorial integrity or infringe upon its sovereignty.”BH/BH
