According to the report, Guterres renewed his plea for an immediate ceasefire while pointing out that millions of Sudanese in need may now receive help more quickly as a result of the announcement.

The UN pledged to make every effort to put the declaration into effect and to continue providing humanitarian help in the statement, which called for expanding the discussions to bring about a lasting end to the conflicts.

Jeddah Declaration

The "Jeddah Declaration" was drafted as a result of talks between the parties in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, to put an end to the fighting between the army and the HDK in Sudan that had been going on for approximately a month.

The Sudanese army and the HDK made it clear in the declaration that they would refrain from any attack that would harm civilians and that the interests of the Sudanese people came first for both parties. The declaration was signed through negotiations carried out under the mediation of the United States and Saudi Arabia.
