Sudan Reopens Adre Border for Humanitarian Aid Amid Civil War

Sudan's sovereign council announced the reopening of the Adre border crossing for three months to provide humanitarian aid to citizens affected by a 15-month-long civil war. Previously, the crossing was closed due to concerns about weapon movement by the RSF faction.

Sudan's governing sovereign council declared on Thursday its decision to reopen the Adre border crossing for a period of three months. This move aims to facilitate the delivery of humanitarian aid to citizens heavily impacted by a prolonged 15-month civil war.

Earlier in February, the Sudanese government had halted aid delivery through this route. The closure was justified by allegations that the RSF faction was exploiting the border crossing to transport weapons into the country.

The reopening of the Adre border crossing represents a critical step toward ensuring that necessary humanitarian assistance reaches those in desperate need amid ongoing conflict.
