Sudan has extended the operation of the Adré humanitarian corridor on the border with Chad for another four months — from September 1 to December 31, 2025. This was reported by the Sudan Tribune with reference to a press release from the Sudanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
The extension of the humanitarian corridor "confirms the government's commitment to ensuring the delivery of humanitarian aid," the Sudanese Foreign Ministry emphasized. The measure is intended to facilitate the delivery of aid to the western region of the country.
This week, news emerged of a catastrophe in the village of Tarsin in the Jebel Marra area of Central Darfur, where more than 1,000 people died as a result of a landslide. Rebels have called on "friendly countries and humanitarian organizations" to help recover the bodies of the victims from the rubble. For organizations to gain access, permission from the Sudanese government and passes from the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), which control most of the western region, were required.
The Adré border crossing and the corresponding humanitarian corridor were opened in November 2024 after a prolonged blockade by the RSF. Last spring, Sudan already extended the corridor's operation.
