Sudan PM Addresses UN General Assembly, Calls for Global Action to End War and Support Civilian Transition

New York- Sudanhorizon

On 25 September 2025 – Sudan’s Transitional Prime Minister, Dr Kamil al-Tayeb Idris, delivered a powerful address before the 80th session of the United Nations General Assembly on Thursday, urging the international community to act decisively to end the war in Sudan, halt the flow of arms to the Rapid Support militia, and support Sudan’s path toward peace, civilian governance, and democratic transition.
Speaking on behalf of Sudan’s newly formed civilian government, Dr Idris described Sudan as a nation “bleeding under the shadow of unprecedented war,” but also as one where “a unique pulse refuses to die,” sustained by the resilience of its people. He pledged that his government – which he referred to as the Government of Hope – would prioritise peace, rule of law, transitional justice, and reconstruction, while ensuring inclusive national dialogue leading to free and fair elections.
“We stand from the banks of the Nile with a renewed hope in our unity, and a strength that lies in our peace,” Dr Idris said, noting that preserving the sovereignty of the state and its national institutions was an “existential priority” for the Sudanese people.
The Prime Minister called on the United Nations and member states to:
Stop the influx of advanced lethal weapons to the militia and classify it as a terrorist organisation,
Enforce UN Security Council resolutions, including Resolution 2736 on lifting the siege of El-Fasher,
Support the safe return of displaced persons and refugees, and
Facilitate humanitarian access to conflict-affected areas.
Dr Idris outlined his government’s Roadmap for Peace, developed with Sudanese national forces and civil organisations and submitted to the UN. It includes a ceasefire, militia withdrawal from occupied areas, political transition, and inclusive dialogue free of foreign interference.
He also emphasised Sudan’s commitment to international humanitarian law, unveiling a national plan for the protection of civilians, which has been presented to the Security Council and the UN Secretary-General. The plan addresses humanitarian access, accountability, combating violence against women and children, and ensuring the rights of IDPs and refugees.
The Prime Minister warned against the “continued silence of the international community” in the face of militia crimes, including “the siege of El-Fasher, bombardment of IDP camps, looting of markets, and destruction of health facilities,” saying such silence only emboldens further atrocities.
Highlighting Sudan’s broader priorities, Dr Idris pledged to:
Combat poverty and corruption,
Advance rural development and healthcare,
Deliver basic services such as electricity, water, and security,
Expand the participation of women and youth in the national dialogue, and
Prepare for comprehensive national elections with international monitoring.
Dr Idris reaffirmed Sudan’s commitment to multilateralism, balanced foreign policy, and constructive engagement with regional and international organisations, stressing that African-led solutions grounded in Sudanese national will were the only viable path forward.
“Our doors remain open to the United Nations and to all partners,” he concluded. “We call upon the international community to support the choices of the Sudanese people and their civilian government.”
