Mohamed Abushahab emphasised the urgent need for an immediate ceasefire in the meeting with Rosemary DiCarlo at the UN in New York, Wam reported. He stressed the importance of the neutrality of international organisations to ensure the unimpeded delivery of humanitarian aid, free from political or military obstacles that hinder the relief of the Sudanese people, Wam said. The UAE Ambassador also pointed to the necessity of transitioning to an independent civilian government in Sudan, away from military control, to restore stability. He reiterated the importance of impartial international support for this transition and called for the avoidance of any bias that could obstruct peacebuilding efforts and prolong the conflict, Wam said. He stated that invoking sovereignty as a pretext to block humanitarian assistance is "unacceptable" and affirmed the Sudanese people's right to receive support. The UAE also criticised selective leaks and the deliberate distortion of the work of UN experts, affirming that the integrity of UN mechanisms is a fundamental pillar.
