The countries of the Gulf Cooperation Council stressed the urgent need to find a comprehensive solution to the Sudanese crisis. They urged the brothers in Sudan to maintain calm, give priority to the language of dialogue, unify ranks, preserve the cohesion of national state institutions and prevent their collapse.

This came in a statement delivered by Hind Abdel Rahman Al-Muftah, Permanent Representative of the State of Qatar to the U.N. Office in Geneva. She indicated that the GCC countries encourage talks facilitated by Saudi Arabia, the United States, the Intergovernmental Authority on Development and the African Union.
