Top diplomats from Germany, Jordan and UK call for immediate ceasefire in Sudan war
Why it matters
In a joint statement on November 1, 2025, the foreign ministers of Germany, Jordan, and the UK called for an immediate ceasefire in Sudan, particularly in the city of el-Fasher, which has seen horrific violence from the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF). Reports indicate that over 450 individuals have been killed, including in a hospital, with accusations of ethnically targeted killings and sexual violence. British Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper described the situation as 'apocalyptic,' emphasizing the need for international cooperation to address the humanitarian crisis. German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul and Jordan's Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi echoed these sentiments, highlighting the neglect of Sudan's plight and the urgent need for action to prevent further atrocities. The ongoing conflict has led to mass displacement and suffering, raising alarms about the humanitarian implications of the violence.
