THE Sudanese Ambassador to Ghana, Mr Gariballa Khidir Ali, has appealed to the government and other international bodies to help find a lasting solution to the ongoing war in Sudan.

Speaking at a press conference in Accra on Wednesday to provide an update on the ongoing war in Sudan, Mr Ali said the war between the paramilitary Rapid Support Force (RSF) and the Sudanese Armed Force (SAF) which began in April last year, had displaced and claimed the lives of many people.

He noted that Ghana, described by many as a beacon of democra­cy and a member of the African Union (AU), could play a role in ensuring peace and security in Sudan by engaging the RSF and the SAF in dialogues and negoti­ations.

Mr Ali further highlighted the strong bilateral relationship between Sudan and Ghana, and was hopeful that such bilateral relationship could play a role in bringing an end to the ongoing war in Sudan.
