美国副常驻联合国代表杰夫·巴托斯周五呼吁在苏丹立即实施人道主义停火，敦促交战各方停止战斗，因为平民仍在面临杀戮、饥饿、健康状况恶化以及饥荒威胁日益加剧的情况。
US deputy envoy to the UN Jeff Bartos on Friday called for an immediate humanitarian truce in Sudan, urging the warring parties to halt the fighting as civilians continue to face killings, hunger, deteriorating health conditions and the growing threat of famine.
“冲突每一天的持续都是不可接受的，”巴托斯在安理会关于苏丹的会议上表示。
“Every day that this conflict persists is unacceptable,” Bartos told a Security Council meeting on Sudan.
他警告称，平民不仅因进入该国的武器和雇佣兵而被杀害，还因战斗加剧的饥饿和健康危机而遭受伤害。
He warned that civilians were being killed not only by weapons and mercenaries entering the country but also by hunger and health crises worsened by the fighting.
“我们需要人道主义停火。让我再说一遍：我们需要人道主义停火。”巴托斯表示，人道主义停火将有助于缓解苏丹人民持续的苦难，并补充称华盛顿将继续与各方合作以达成此类安排。
“We need a humanitarian truce. Let me repeat that: we need a humanitarian truce.”Bartos said a humanitarian truce would help alleviate the persistent suffering of the Sudanese people, adding that Washington would continue working with the parties to secure such an arrangement.
他还呼吁安理会支持一个旨在实现全面解决方案并维护拥有对人民负责的运作良好国家机构的统一苏丹的政治进程。
He also called on the council to support a political process aimed at achieving a comprehensive settlement and preserving a unified Sudan with functioning state institutions accountable to its people.
巴托斯强调，任何全国性政治对话都必须由苏丹人民主导和所有，并必须远离与国际指定恐怖组织有关联的暴力极端主义团体的干扰，以及对平民犯下暴行的个人的影响。
Any national political dialogue, he stressed, must be owned and led by the Sudanese people and remain free from interference by violent extremist groups linked to internationally designated terrorist organizations, as well as individuals responsible for atrocities against the population.
巴托斯进一步敦促安理会采取具体行动，阻止武器继续流入苏丹，称此类努力是必要的，以赋能苏丹人民并促进向由平民领导的政府过渡。
Bartos further urged the council to take concrete action to stop the continued flow of weapons into Sudan, saying such efforts were necessary to empower the Sudanese people and facilitate a transition to a civilian-led government.
“美国准备好与安理会每一位成员合作，支持五国的努力，以推进包容性的平民政治进程，并加强实现人道主义停火和无阻碍人道主义准入的努力，这最终将挽救生命并防止进一步流血，”他说。
“The United States stands ready to work with each member of this council to support the quintet’s efforts to advance an inclusive civilian political process and reinforce efforts to achieve a humanitarian truce and unhindered humanitarian access, which will ultimately save lives and prevent further bloodshed,” he said.
自2023年4月以来，苏丹一直陷入军队与快速支援部队之间的内战，导致数万人死亡，数百万人流离失所。
Sudan has been engulfed in civil war between the army and the Rapid Support Forces since April 2023, leaving tens of thousands dead and displacing millions of others.
