President Donald Trump’s advisor on Arab and African affairs, Massad Boulos, said Sudan’s conflict has no military solution.
“We are working with partners to find a peaceful resolution to Sudan’s crisis,” Boulos told at the Munich Security Conference.
He stressed that a Sudanese-led political process is the only path to civilian rule, with Washington in contact with both sides to secure a peaceful settlement.
Boulos revealed that a set of sanctions and diplomatic measures is ready if progress toward peace stalls.
On September 12, the Quartet underscored the need to transition Sudan to civilian governance with international support, a process led through the Quintet involving the Arab League, African Union, IGAD, European Union, and United Nations.
The roadmap, announced in September 2025, seeks a consensual civilian political framework to stabilise Sudan while curbing extremist influence.
Boulos reiterated Washington’s firm stance on the Muslim Brotherhood, calling it a “red line” agreed upon with Quartet members and Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE.
He concluded that Sudanese ownership and international engagement are essential, stressing diplomacy as the only viable route to lasting peace.
