US Envoy Holds Rare Meeting with Sudan’s Top General in Push to Seek End to Fighting – WTOP News
The rare meeting comes as U.S. officials seek a 90-day humanitarian truce and say the war has displaced 13 million people.
- Massad Boulos, President Donald Trump's senior adviser for Arab and African affairs, met Sudanese Gen. Abdel-Fattah Burhan in Egypt on Saturday to renew pressure on warring parties to negotiate an end to the conflict.
- Fighting in Sudan has killed at least 59,000 people and displaced 13 million, pushing parts of the African nation into famine after power struggles between the military and Rapid Support Forces erupted in Khartoum.
- Boulos and Trump administration officials are pushing the warring sides to accept a 90-day humanitarian ceasefire and establish safe humanitarian corridors, despite repeated failures of previous peace talks in recent months.
- This meeting occurred less than two weeks after Sudanese Foreign Minister Mohieldin Salim Ahmed Ibrahim accused the United States of betraying host obligations by denying Burhan a visa for the General Assembly in New York.
- Boulos stated the United States aims to enable Sudan to restore stability and embark on reconstruction through an inclusive, Sudanese-owned national dialogue toward a civilian-led government.
