Good to see diplomatic efforts. The suffering of civilians in any conflict is heartbreaking. India should also use its good relations with both the Gulf and the US to support peace initiatives. Our foreign policy is about 'Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam' - the world is one family.

While the intent is noble, I hope this isn't just another statement. We've seen many ceasefires announced and broken in that region. The proof will be in the implementation. The international community needs to ensure it.

Important to see the UAE and US coordinating. Stability in Sudan is crucial for the whole region, including the Indian Ocean area where India has significant interests. A peaceful resolution benefits global trade and security.

The focus on a 'civilian political solution' is key. Lasting peace can only come from within, not imposed from outside. Hope the Sudanese people get the stability they deserve. India has a large diaspora in the Gulf and East Africa, so peace there matters to us too.
