Canberra – sudanhorizon

On Tuesday, Ahmed Salah Bayoumi, the Chargé d’Affaires at the Sudanese Embassy in Australia, explained the Sudanese government’s position towards the Berlin Conference to Nigel Stanier, Director of the Africa Department at the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs.

Bayoumi detailed the Sudanese government’s perspective and its stance against holding the Berlin Conference on Sudan without the government’s participation, consent, and consultation on all arrangements. He pointed out that any discussions or decisions regarding Sudan without the government’s involvement constitute a blatant violation of international law, the UN Charter, and a transgression against state sovereignty and established diplomatic norms.

The Chargé d’Affaires ad interim affirmed the Sudanese government’s commitment to achieving a just and sustainable peace, in accordance with the roadmap presented by the Chairman of the Transitional Sovereign Council in March 2025, and the subsequent peace initiative launched by the Prime Minister in December 2025.

He welcomed all regional and international efforts supporting this roadmap and reiterated the Sudanese government’s readiness to engage constructively with any serious initiative that respects Sudan’s sovereignty, unity, and territorial integrity.

He also emphasized Sudan’s commitment to facilitating the delivery of humanitarian aid and opening humanitarian corridors. He noted the Sudanese government’s decision earlier this month to extend the opening of the Adré border crossing on the Sudanese-Chadian border for humanitarian assistance, underscoring the government’s ongoing efforts to ensure the delivery of aid to those affected throughout Sudan. He further affirmed the government’s commitment to coordinating with relief organizations operating in Sudan, in accordance with international humanitarian law.

For his part, the Australian official Stanier reiterated Australia’s support for the unity and territorial integrity of Sudan and thanked the Chargé d’Affaires ad interim for informing the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Sudanese government’s position.
