The appointment of the
High-Level Panel follows a decision by the AU Peace and Security Council (PSC)
in October 2023, which urged the AUC to take steps to support the Sudanese
people in their efforts to achieve peace and stability.
The Panel will work closely
with all Sudanese stakeholders, including civilian forces, military
belligerents, and regional and global actors, to facilitate an inclusive
dialogue and negotiations leading to a comprehensive peace agreement.

“The situation in Sudan
requires our collective attention and engagement. The AU High-Level Panel will
work tirelessly to bring about an end to the conflict and pave the way for a
brighter and more prosperous future for the Sudanese people,” said Chairperson
Faki Mahamat.
