The Secretary of State mentioned that although the conflicting sides have recently issued a “statement of principles,” international mediators need to now turn those words into actual actions on the ground.

“what we’ve truly concentrated on in sudan is somewhat about setting up a humanitarian ceasefire that enables us to deliver assistance to those enduring severe hardship, but without compromising a more comprehensive agreement,” rubio stated.

He highlighted the importance of locating particular communities that can act as “safe havens” for delivering food and medical aid, pointing out that these initiatives depend on assured safety to succeed.

Rubio voiced worry about the global escalation of the conflict, which started in April 2023 between the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), a paramilitary group.

The United States has been utilizing the “Quad” framework—a diplomatic alliance comprising the United States, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and Egypt—to exert influence on the conflicting parties.

Rubio stated that the U.S. continues to be involved on a “daily basis,” with significant participation from the State Department’s Africa division and Special Envoy Massad Boulos.

“The method to conclude this conflict is for the nations and entities backing the combatants to push these groups into reaching a peace agreement,” he stated.

The Secretary’s comments are made as the conflict reaches its fourth year, with millions uprooted and recent accounts of increased drone attacks and combat in Khartoum and the Kordofan areas.
