Iraqi President Abdul Latif Rashid has expressed his country’s willingness to host a dialogue between rival Sudanese parties in order to resolve the African country’s crisis.
Mr. Rashid expressed “firm confidence in the wisdom of the brothers in Sudan” in a Facebook statement on Monday, saying that their “ability to hold peaceful and democratic dialogue is enough to overcome this crisis by immediately ceasing fighting and armed actions.”
“Here, I assure the brothers in Sudan that Iraq is ready to make efforts and help in offering opportunities for constructive dialogue in a way that contributes to giving priority to the logic of peace and strengthening the democratic path,” the statement said.
In three days of fighting between rival factions in Sudan, nearly 200 people were killed and 1,800 were injured.
