The US President’s envoy to Africa, Massad Boulos, said Washington remains determined to hold those responsible for atrocities in Sudan to account.
He urged Sudan’s warring parties to accept a humanitarian truce, stressing that a pause in fighting is vital to halt the country’s worsening violence.
Boulos wrote on X that the United States “holds accountable those who commit atrocities in Sudan,” underscoring a sharpened stance as diplomatic pressure intensifies.
He added that these measures reflect Washington’s commitment to supporting peace and standing with the Sudanese people as the conflict deepens.
The war, which erupted in April 2023 between the General Abdel Fattah al Burhan’s army and the Rapid Support Forces, has killed tens of thousands and displaced millions across the country.
The Rapid Support Forces recently declared a three-month humanitarian truce to allow aid delivery, signalling a rare opening amid the devastation.
Burhan’s army, rejected the proposal and escalated operations by bombing international humanitarian assistance in several areas of Darfur and Kordofan.
It also targeted oil fields in Heglig, raising fears of further instability in a region already buckling under the strain of conflict.
The envoy’s remarks highlight a renewed diplomatic push as Washington attempts to steer both sides toward restraint and humanitarian access.
