Against the backdrop of Sudan’s crisis, all hands must be on deck to prevent the difficulties from escalating.

This is according to the President’s wife, Aisha Buhari, who addressed on Monday at the 10th General Assembly of the Africa First Ladies Peace Mission (AFLPM) held at the State House in Abuja.

Aisha Buhari, who voiced worry about the massive humanitarian situation caused by the war, which has disproportionately affected women and children, noted that the AFLPM is willing to collaborate with all appropriate entities to promote broader strategies.

She equally highlighted the impact of continuous challenges including banditry, insurgency, internal strife, and coup d’états which according to her have festered and revived the need for more concerted action regarding the issue of women’s peace and security in Africa.

Furthermore, she reinforced the call to make manifest contributions in order to support women and young girls, to ensure that are not perceived or seen as victims of the war but as solutions, particularly through constructive engagements and peacebuilding.
