In a statement seen by Darfur24, TASIS said the meeting was held at Lamamra’s request to discuss opportunities to end the war in Sudan and achieve a comprehensive and just peace. The discussions also covered the latest political developments and the worsening humanitarian crisis.
The TASIS delegation included Alliance member Al-Tahir Abu Bakr Hajar, Governor of Eastern Sudan Region Mabrouk Mubarak Salim, and Council member and South Kordofan–Nuba Mountains Governor Jagod Makwar Marada.
