Overview

  • The United Nations Security Council has voted to end its political mission in Sudan, known as UNITAMS, following a request from Sudan's acting foreign minister.
  • The mission, which was dedicated to ending the civil war in Sudan, will officially end on Sunday, December 3, 2023.
  • The conflict in Sudan has forced more than 6 million people out of their homes, either to safer areas inside Sudan or to neighboring countries.
  • Despite the end of UNITAMS, the United Nations will continue to provide support to the Sudanese people through various humanitarian agencies.
  • The end of UNITAMS is seen as a loss of a tool for trying to bring stability to Sudan, potentially leading to an extended period without an overarching U.N. presence in the country.
