Arab League backs Sudanese-led dialogue, says Nabil Fahmy

Arab League Secretary-General Nabil Fahmy, during his visit to Khartoum, reaffirmed the League’s support for efforts to facilitate a Sudanese-led national dialogue. Fahmy emphasized that the process must be exclusively Sudanese, saying this would ensure the participation of Sudanese citizens in rebuilding their state and achieving political and social stability.

Fahmy noted that his visit to the Sudanese National Dialogue Preparation Committee was intended to support its efforts, reiterating the Arab League’s belief in the importance of a dialogue led by Sudanese themselves. He stressed that establishing a stable political and social fabric requires respecting Sudanese identity and the interests of the country’s citizens.

Fahmy called for a clear action plan for the Sudanese dialogue, outlining specific steps and topics to enable gradual progress and strengthen the confidence of citizens and political forces in the dialogue process. He also underlined the need for the dialogue arrangements to address the concerns of citizens and political groups, while respecting Sudan’s sovereignty, state institutions, and national interests.

Fahmy affirmed that the Arab League supports the Sudanese dialogue initiative because of its Sudanese character, and stands ready to provide assistance at specific stages of the dialogue process.
