The Chairperson of the African Union Commission, H.E. Mahmoud Ali Youssouf, conveys his warmest congratulations to the Government and the people of the Republic of the Sudan as they celebrate the anniversary of their Independence Day.

The African Union reaffirms its full readiness to work closely with all Sudanese stakeholders, as well as regional and international partners, including IGAD, the United Nations, and the League of Arab States, to support efforts toward a ceasefire, humanitarian access, and a comprehensive political solution. The AU remains committed to an African-led, Sudanese-owned process that responds to the aspirations of the Sudanese people for peace, dignity, and a stable future.

As Sudan marks seventy years of independence, let this moment serve not only as a reflection on the past, but as a renewed commitment to end the war and reclaim the promise of a peaceful and united Sudan.

Happy Independence Day!
