Masaad Boulos, the U.S. President\u2019s Adviser for African Affairs, announced that the United States plans to organize an international donors\u2019 conference on Sudan in the coming weeks, as part of efforts aimed at reaching an urgent humanitarian ceasefire and mobilizing resources to address the country\u2019s deepening crisis.<\/p>\n
Boulos said the scale of the humanitarian catastrophe in Sudan has reached unprecedented levels, citing UNICEF estimates that 33.7 million people\u2014among them 17.3 million children\u2014will require humanitarian assistance this year, placing Sudan at the top of the world\u2019s humanitarian crises.<\/p>\n
He added that Washington is working to establish a special fund to collect donations and channel them directly toward addressing urgent humanitarian needs. He noted that U.S. President Donald Trump considers what is happening in Sudan to be \u201cthe largest humanitarian catastrophe in the world\u201d and stresses the need to bring it to an end as quickly as possible.<\/p>\n
On the political front, Boulos said the United States is discussing developments in the Sudanese file with its partners in the International Quad mechanism and other parties. Meanwhile, Khartoum has objected to the participation of the United Arab Emirates in the mechanism\u2014which also includes Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and the United States\u2014calling for the adoption of its own vision for a political solution. This vision includes the withdrawal of the Rapid Support Forces from cities, their disarmament, and the convening of an internal political conference to determine the country\u2019s future system of governance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
