This came in a statement issued by the Arab League Council at the level of permanent delegates, held at the League's headquarters in Cairo, at the conclusion of an emergency meeting chaired by Jordan, the head of the Council's Ministerial Council, at the request of Khartoum and with the support of member states, to discuss the repercussions of the recent escalation in Sudan.
The final statement expressed the Council's condemnation of "the recent attacks on Sudan."
He affirmed his "full solidarity with Sudan and the brotherly Sudanese people in their efforts to secure their resources and protect their lands and vital infrastructure."
The Council emphasized that "Sudan's security is an integral part of Arab national security," and that "the Arab League will remain an effective platform for defending the unity, peace, and stability of all Arab member states."
He called on "Arab countries and organizations to provide urgent humanitarian support to the brotherly Sudanese people, rehabilitate damaged facilities in the Republic of Sudan, and increase the humanitarian response to enhance Sudan's resilience in the face of any threats to its unity and existence, and overcome the catastrophic consequences."
On Thursday, the eastern Sudanese city of Port Sudan was subjected to two drone attacks for the fifth consecutive day, which were repelled by ground-based anti-aircraft missiles.
Since Sunday, Port Sudan, the interim capital, has been subjected to drone attacks on military and civilian sites, sparking fires at oil depots and a power station in the city.
This comes a day after Port Sudan was subjected to a drone attack by Rapid Support Forces, targeting the Flamingo naval base. The attack was intercepted by ground-based anti-aircraft missiles, according to the Sudanese army.
On Tuesday, Sudanese authorities accused the Rapid Support Forces of targeting fuel depots in the southern port, Port Sudan airport, and a power station, without comment from the latter.
Since mid-April 2023, the Sudanese army and the Rapid Support Forces have been waging a war that has left more than 20,000 dead and approximately 15 million displaced and refugees, according to the United Nations and local authorities. Research by American universities estimates the death toll at approximately 130,000.
