Personal Envoy Sudan

Appointed in November 2023, Ramtane Lamamra, former Algerian Minister of Foreign Affairs, serves as the UN Secretary‑General’s Personal Envoy for Sudan. Following the completion of the United Nations Integrated Transition Assistance Mission in Sudan (UNITAMS) on 29 February 2024, Mr. Lamamra commenced his work in support of mediation efforts, in close coordination with African and other international partners, including the African Union and IGAD. Mandated by the Security Council to use his good offices, he engages with the parties to the conflict, convenes proximity talks, facilitates political dialogue, and provides updates to the Security Council on efforts to resolve the crisis. These mediation efforts complement the ongoing work of the UN Country Team on the ground, which continues to provide lifesaving humanitarian assistance to the people of Sudan.
