The United States President Donald Trump has announced renewed U.S. efforts to help broker peace in Sudan’s ongoing civil war, now in its 15th month.
Speaking during a White House meeting with leaders from several West African nations, Trump emphasized his administration’s role in supporting conflict resolution efforts in Sudan.
This comes as Massad Boulos, a senior advisor on African affairs, revealed that Washington will soon host foreign ministers from Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Egypt in an attempt to revive the dormant “Quartet” diplomatic initiative aimed at ending the conflict.
Despite this diplomatic push, the role of U.S. Special Envoy for Sudan remains unfilled since Tom Perriello’s term ended.
However, the U.S. remains deeply engaged with both warring factions and international partners to pursue a lasting ceasefire.
The humanitarian toll continues to escalate, with millions displaced and food shortages worsening.
The U.S. has delivered over 65,000 metric tons of wheat to Port Sudan, enough to sustain 3.2 million people for one month.
Aid efforts also extend to more than four million refugees in neighboring countries.
American officials called on all sides to ensure humanitarian aid can safely reach those in need and to protect civilians and aid workers alike.
Meanwhile, the United Nations, in coordination with the African Union, is planning a separate peace negotiation track in Ethiopia, signaling growing international momentum to resolve the crisis.
