Saudi prince to press Trump to intervene to end Sudan war, sources say
Mohammed bin Salman aims to leverage Trump’s peacemaker role to end Sudan’s 2.5-year war and enable humanitarian aid delivery, sources say.
- On Tuesday, Mohammed bin Salman will press US President Donald Trump in Washington to personally intervene and break the diplomatic logjam in Sudan’s war, sources said.
- The conflict began in 2023 with a power struggle between the Sudanese Armed Forces and the Rapid Support Forces, and the RSF earlier this month accepted a US-backed ceasefire after outcry over killings in El-Fasher, but the army has not agreed.
- Amid civilian suffering, both the RSF and Sudanese Armed Forces have increased drone strikes in recent months, with some UN experts and US lawmakers finding accusations of Gulf kingdoms supplying weapons credible.
- With few tangible results, US officials called for actionable outcomes last week as Marco Rubio voiced frustration with the Quad , while the Saudi government's media office did not immediately respond.
- For Saudi Arabia, the dispute touches national security with hundreds of kilometres of Sudanese coastline opposite its Red Sea coast, and it appeals to Trump's peacemaker image to secure intervention.
