Khartoum -Sudanhorizon

The Minister of Finance and Economic Planning, Dr. Jibril Ibrahim, has reaffirmed Sudan’s rejection of ready-made solutions imposed by the international community. During a meeting with visiting Personal Envoy of the UN Secretary-General to Sudan, Pekka Haavisto, on Wednesday, Jibril stressed that bringing together all stakeholders is a crucial step towards building a clear vision and establishing a suitable starting point for the peace process.

The meeting addressed the humanitarian, economic, and political situation in the country. Both sides discussed ways to bolster calls for peace, emphasizing that achieving sustainable peace requires building trust between the parties through prisoner exchanges, opening humanitarian corridors, and agreeing on a short-term truce to allow the delivery of humanitarian aid.

The meeting also touched upon the importance of protecting civilian infrastructure, including hospitals, water and electricity facilities, and preventing their use for military purposes, in order to minimize civilian casualties.

In this context, both sides affirmed that reconstruction is a fundamental element of the peace process, as stability cannot be established without restoring public services, which strengthens citizens’ confidence in the viability of peace.

Both sides emphasized the need to reorganize the relationship between military and political action to ensure the integration of armed forces into state institutions based on clear legal foundations, and to prevent the existence of any parallel forces outside the framework of the state.

The meeting concluded that achieving peace in Sudan requires a cumulative approach based on practical and implementable steps, gradually evolving into a comprehensive and sustainable political process, as stated in a press release issued by the Ministry of Finance.
