The Quintet (African Union, Intergovernmental Authority on Development, League of Arab States, European Union, and the United Nations), remains committed to facilitating an inclusive Sudanese-owned inter-Sudanese political dialogue aimed at ending the war and laying the foundations for a peaceful political transition.
In advance of the Third International Sudan Conference in Berlin on 15 April 2026, the Quintet expresses grave concern at the continued deterioration of the situation in Sudan. As the conflict enters its fourth year, ongoing hostilities, widespread violence against civilians and an increasing risk of fragmentation are driving displacement, deepening humanitarian needs and affecting stability across the region. The Quintet underscores the urgent need to reduce violence to prevent further suffering and destruction; ensure the protection of civilians and critical national infrastructure; and enable full, safe, rapid and sustained humanitarian access and assistance to all those in need.
