During the call, both sides stressed the need for an immediate and lasting ceasefire in Sudan.
They also stressed the importance of preserving the country’s unity, borders, and national institutions, safeguarding the Sudanese people’s resources, and ensuring their security and stability, Ambassador Tamim Khalaf, the foreign ministry spokesman, said.
On Libya, both parties highlighted the need to unify Libyan institutions ahead of legislative and presidential elections that reflect the Libyan people’s aspirations for stability and progress, the spokesperson added.
They also agreed to continue coordinating on regional and international efforts and follow up on the UN envoy’s work toward a political solution that secures consensus among all Libyan parties.
The call comes amid alarming developments in Sudan, where the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) this week took control of El-Fasher, the army’s last major stronghold in North Darfur, after an 18-month siege.
The Sudanese Armed Forces, led by General Abdel-Fattah Al-Burhan, have reportedly withdrawn from the city, raising concerns that the country could effectively split between rival authorities.
The United Nations has warned that the humanitarian situation in El-Fasher is catastrophic, with tens of thousands displaced and aid deliveries blocked.
UN Secretary-General António Guterres said that external interference and continued arms inflows are undermining the chances for peace.
The EU Council last week condemned the ongoing violence, calling for unrestricted humanitarian access and the protection of civilians.
Humanitarian agencies say the 2025 Sudan Humanitarian Response Plan, valued at $4.2 billion, is less than 30 percent funded, leaving millions without food or medical aid.
In Libya, the High National Elections Commission (HNEC) held municipal elections in 16 councils earlier in October, with voter turnout nearing 68 percent.
While the polls were seen as a small step toward political normalcy, the broader plan for national elections remains stalled due to disputes between rival administrations in Tripoli and Benghazi.
The United Nations Support Mission in Libya (UNSMIL) continues to push for a unified political framework that would pave the way for national elections and institutional reunification.
A recent high-level meeting, chaired by the United States and attended by Egypt, France, Germany, Italy, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, the UAE, and the UK, reaffirmed support for Libya’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.
