US President’s adviser for Arab and African affairs, Massad Boulos, said Sudan’s conflict cannot be solved through military action alone.
In an interview with Al Jazeera Mubasher, Boulos called for a comprehensive national dialogue to end the country’s political deadlock.
He said the only realistic solution is the formation of an independent government that reflects the aspirations of the Sudanese people.
Boulos stressed that Washington supports what he described as a “Sudanese-Sudanese solution” without outside pressure or imposed political conditions.
He added that this approach was reaffirmed in the recent Berlin Declaration on Sudan, which addressed the ongoing conflict and the country’s future political transition.
According to Boulos, the United States remains in regular contact with Sudanese civil society groups working to end the devastating war.
He said many Sudanese groups support a political settlement that could open a path toward stability after months of violence and destruction.
Boulos also criticised regional and international actors accused of backing rival sides through military and political support.
He warned that foreign intervention is worsening the crisis, prolonging the fighting and leaving civilians caught in the conflict.
The US official described such support as “deeply regrettable,” saying it undermines efforts to reach a lasting political settlement.
He also acknowledged growing challenges facing international mediation efforts amid Sudan’s deeply divided military and political landscape.
His remarks come as regional and international powers step up calls for a ceasefire and a broader political process in Sudan.
Diplomatic efforts are increasingly focused on rebuilding state institutions and guiding the country toward long-awaited stability.
