\nOffice of the Spokesperson
\nSeptember 12, 2025<\/p>\n

The following is the text of a joint statement by the Quad: Egypt, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and the United States of America.<\/p>\n

Begin Text:<\/p>\n

At the invitation of the United States, Ministers of Foreign Affairs of the United States, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates have engaged in extensive consultations on the conflict in Sudan, recalling that it has provoked the world\u2019s worst humanitarian crisis and poses grave risks to regional peace and security. Ministers committed to a shared set of principles\u00a0with regard to\u00a0ending the conflict in Sudan.<\/p>\n

First<\/strong>, Sudan\u2019s sovereignty, unity, and territorial integrity are essential for peace and stability.<\/p>\n

Second<\/strong>, there is no\u00a0viable\u00a0military solution to the conflict, and the status quo creates unacceptable suffering and risks to peace and security.<\/p>\n

Third<\/strong>, all parties to the conflict must\u00a0facilitate\u00a0rapid, safe, and unhindered humanitarian access and\u00a0assistance\u00a0throughout Sudan and through all necessary routes, protect civilians\u00a0in accordance with\u00a0international humanitarian law and their commitments under the Jeddah Declaration, and refrain from indiscriminate aerial and ground attacks on civilian infrastructure.<\/p>\n

Fourth<\/strong>, Sudan\u2019s future governance is for the Sudanese people to decide through an inclusive and transparent transition process, not controlled by any warring party. The Ministers called for a humanitarian truce, for an initial three months, to enable the swift entry of humanitarian aid to all parts of Sudan, to lead immediately to a permanent ceasefire, then an inclusive and transparent transition process should be launched and concluded within nine months to meet the aspirations of the Sudanese people towards smoothly establishing an independent, civilian-led government with broad-based legitimacy and accountability, which is vital for the long-term stability of Sudan and the preservation of its state Institutions. Sudan\u2019s future cannot be dictated by violent extremist groups part of or\u00a0evidently linked\u00a0to the Muslim brotherhood, whose destabilizing influence has fueled violence and instability across the region.<\/p>\n

The ministers agreed to closely follow up the implementation of these timelines and\u00a0affirmed their readiness to exercise their good offices and carry out all necessary efforts\u00a0to ensure the full implementation by the parties, including to reconvene to discuss further steps.<\/p>\n

Fifth<\/strong>, external military support to the conflict parties in Sudan serves to intensify and prolong the conflict and contribute to regional instability.\u00a0Accordingly, an end to external military support is essential to ending the conflict.<\/p>\n

Ministers also committed to the following commitments for their further engagement\u00a0in support of a peaceful resolution:<\/p>\n
