The African Summit has issued a statement rejecting attempts to forcibly displace Palestinian people and condemning foreign interference in Sudan.
The African Summit has officially rejected any attempts at forcibly displacing the Palestinian population, specifically to Egypt or Jordan, affirming the rights of Palestinians to remain in their homeland. In its statement, the summit echoed a strong call for the United Nations to grant Palestine full membership, aligning with the wishes of the majority of the international community. This stance underscores the growing recognition of Palestinian statehood on the global stage.
Furthermore, the summit condemned external interventions in Sudan, calling for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire to facilitate peaceful dialogue among Sudanese factions. The urgency of this call reflects the deteriorating humanitarian situation in Sudan, which has prompted the African Union and other bodies to advocate for peaceful negotiations rather than international military involvement. The statement highlights the regional implications of foreign interference and the need for African-led solutions.
In addition, the summit expressed deep concern over the worsening humanitarian crisis in Gaza, emphasizing the challenges posed by blockades and the hindered access to essential aid. In doing so, the summit reaffirmed its solidarity with the Palestinian people and their right to self-determination, as well as the need to end the occupation. This multi-faceted statement encapsulates the African Union's commitment to both Palestinian rights and regional stability in light of ongoing conflicts.
