Nyala: Rhino – The head of the National Humanitarian Access Authority in the Government of Peace and Unity, Ezzedine Al-Safi, expressed on Saturday his eagerness to open a strategic dialogue with all humanitarian actors, donors, academics, and affected communities, and to work together to confront the threat of this unprecedented humanitarian disaster left behind by the war.

In his first press statement after his appointment, Al-Safi added: “The war ignited by the army and its extremist allies on April 15, 2023, dealt a devastating blow to Sudan’s path toward recovery and advancement. However, if there is one truth that this conflict has revealed, it is our urgent need, as Sudanese people, to face our dark history and our current reality with courage and clarity.

He continued: “For more than two decades, I have dedicated my life to alleviating human suffering, working to lift the Sudanese people out of poverty, promoting equality, and restoring their dignity, which has been shattered by wars and conflicts. I remain optimistic that this war will end, and that its end will not only mark the end of all wars, but also the beginning of a new chapter of foundation and building a just, inclusive, and more prosperous future for all.”
