The International Community has called for an immediate meeting of the United Nations to address the current crisis in Sudan.
According to Reuters, The United Kingdom, United States of America, Germany and Norway have written to the United Nations to address the situation in Sudan.
This request comes in response to a surge in violence that began on April 15.
In a letter dated May 5, the countries asked the council’s president to convene a meeting to examine the worsening situation in Sudan, Reuters reported.
As required by the council’s rules, the group has secured the backing of at least a third of its 47 members.
The situation in Sudan has been deteriorating for weeks, with reports of brutal crackdowns on protesters by the military.
The country has been in turmoil since a coup ousted former President Omar al-Bashir in 2019.
Since then, a transitional government has been in place, but it has struggled to maintain stability and address the country’s economic and political challenges.
The proposed meeting of the U.N. Human Rights Council aims to draw attention to the ongoing crisis in Sudan and pressure the country’s leaders to address the violence and work towards a peaceful resolution.
The international community has been vocal in its condemnation of the violence, with the European Union and other countries calling for an end to the bloodshed and the restoration of democracy in Sudan.
