The Department’s statement on the conflict in Sudan is in line with the statements issued by the African Union (AU), the United Nations (UN) and the international community as a whole. Similarly, South Africa’s statement on the war in Ukraine has been consistent with the statements by a number of countries, including international organisations. South Africa has consistently called for the peaceful resolution to the wars in Sudan and Ukraine, which have a devastating impact and negative humanitarian effects to the most vulnerable. South Africa supports the AU, UN and peace initiatives by a number of countries to bring about peace in these countries.
