WASHINGTON
The US is part of a group of nations seeking to bring an end to the violence that has ravaged Sudan for more than two-and-a-half years, the White House said Tuesday.
"The United States is actively engaged in efforts to bring about a peaceful resolution to the terrible conflict in Sudan. We remain committed to working with our international partners, including quad members, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, as well as others, to lead a negotiated peace process that addresses both the immediate humanitarian crisis and the longer-term political challenges," spokesperson Karoline Leavitt told reporters.
"We're in pretty frequent communication with those Arab partners that I just mentioned, and we want to see this conflict come to a peaceful end, just as we have with so many others. But the reality is it's a very complicated situation on the ground right now," she added.
The Sudanese army and the Rapid Support Forces paramilitary have been locked in a devastating war since April 15, 2023. The conflict has killed thousands and displaced millions.
To date, the RSF controls all five states of the Darfur region in western Sudan, while the army holds most of the remaining 13 states in the south, north, east and center, including the nation’s capital of Khartoum.
