紐約，9月23日（路透社）——蘇丹週三表示，該國「維護自身國家主權」，並呼籲華盛頓與這個非洲國家的政府正面接觸，反駁美國國務院質疑其正當性的言論。NEW YORK, Sept 23 (Reuters) - Sudan on Wednesday said it "upholds its national sovereignty" and called on Washington to engage positively with the African country's government, pushing back on remarks by the US State Department calling into question its legitimacy.

消息人士告訴路透社，蘇丹軍方領導人阿卜杜勒・法塔赫・布爾漢原定前往紐約出席聯合國年度各國領袖大會，美國在他行前暫不核發簽證，並將他是否能出席與其同意90天停火掛鉤。The US withheld a visa for Sudanese army chief Abdel Fattah al-Burhan ahead of his scheduled visit to New York for the annual gathering of world leaders at the United Nations, making his attendance contingent on his agreeing to a 90-day ceasefire, sources told Reuters.

蘇丹戰爭於2023年4月爆發，起因是軍方與快速支援部隊（Rapid Support Forces）之間的權力鬥爭；這場戰爭已造成逾1,400萬人流離失所，並引發全球最嚴重的人道危機之一。Sudan's war, which erupted in April 2023 following a power struggle between the military and the Rapid Support Forces, has displaced more than 14 million people and created one of the world's worst humanitarian crises.

美國國務院發言人湯米・皮戈特（Tommy Pigott）週二在聲明中表示，蘇丹武裝部隊、準軍事組織快速支援部隊，或雙方各自的領導人，都「不代表蘇丹合法、合憲的治理」。US State Department spokesman Tommy Pigott said in a statement on Tuesday that neither the Sudanese Armed Forces, the Rapid Support Forces paramilitary nor either of their respective leaders "represent legitimate, constitutional governance for Sudan."

蘇丹外交與國際合作部週三在聲明中表示，強烈反對美方聲明，並呼籲華盛頓與蘇丹政府正面接觸。In a statement on Wednesday, the Sudanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation said it strongly rejected the statement and called on Washington to engage positively with the Sudanese government.

聲明說：「蘇丹政府強調，任何旨在成功且持久的和平倡議，都必須以尊重蘇丹的主權、統一、領土完整及合法國家機構為基礎。」"The government of Sudan emphasizes that any peace initiative intended to succeed and endure must be grounded in respect for Sudan’s sovereignty, unity, territorial integrity, and legitimate national institutions," the statement said.

「此外，和平倡議也必須處理導致戰爭持續的根本原因，其中最首要的是負面的外國干預。」"It must also address the root causes of the war's continuation — foremost among them, negative foreign interference."

美國國務卿馬可・盧比歐（Marco Rubio）週三形容，試圖調停以結束蘇丹衝突令人感到挫折。US Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Wednesday described trying to mediate an end to the conflict in Sudan as frustrating.

他在紐約對記者說：「我們曾讓人們同意某些事項、簽署某些事項，但承諾從未兌現。每當看似即將取得進展時，其中一方就會退縮，因為他們認為自己正在獲勝，或認為自己可能獲勝。而且還有外部行為者。」"We’ve had people agree to things, sign to things, and the commitments are never met," he told reporters in New York. "Every time it seems like we’re on the verge of making progress, one side or the other will back off because they think they’re winning or they think they could win. And there are external actors."

本月，聯合國一項事實調查團表示，外國武器、軍事技術、戰鬥人員及後勤網絡正在協助蘇丹衝突延續，同時擴大交戰各方以無人機攻擊遠處平民地區的能力。This month, a UN fact-finding mission said foreign weapons, military technology, fighters and logistical networks are helping sustain Sudan's conflict while expanding the warring parties' ability to strike distant civilian areas with drones.
