Mogadishu, Somalia – In a significant diplomatic move, Somalia has announced its intention to mediate between the warring parties in Sudan to help resolve the ongoing civil conflict. State Minister for Foreign Affairs Ali Balad revealed the plan during an interview with national media, stating that a mediator will soon be appointed to facilitate the implementation of a rescue plan for Sudan.
Expressing deep regret over the devastating civil war in Sudan, Minister Balad acknowledged Sudan’s historical support for Somalia during its times of need. “Sudan is one of the countries that came to Somalia’s aid in the past, and we feel a moral obligation to assist them during this difficult period,” he said.
The State Minister emphasized Somalia’s readiness to play a constructive role in resolving the conflict. “Somalia is a member of the United Nations Security Council, and we are committed to promoting peace and stability in the region. Sudan owes us a great debt, and we are determined to soon appoint a mediator between the two warring parties in the country,” Balad stated.
The announcement comes as Sudan continues to grapple with a brutal civil war that has displaced millions and caused widespread suffering. The conflict, which erupted between the Sudanese Armed Forces and the Rapid Support Forces, has drawn international concern, with calls for a peaceful resolution growing louder.
Somalia’s offer to mediate reflects its growing confidence in its diplomatic capabilities and its desire to contribute to regional stability. The appointment of a mediator is expected to be announced in the coming weeks, with the goal of fostering dialogue and finding a sustainable solution to the crisis.
As the international community watches closely, Somalia’s initiative could mark a pivotal step toward ending the violence in Sudan and restoring peace to the region.
