June 26, 2026 (NEW YORK) – A diplomatic conflict emerged at the United Nations Security Council on Friday between the United States and Sudan concerning a proposed countrywide humanitarian ceasefire, as Washington alleged Khartoum had issued another rejection, while Sudanese representatives stated the U.S. overlooked their official reply.
U.S. Senior Advisor Massad Boulos initiated the discussion by criticizing the Sudanese Sovereign Council for consistently hindering peace efforts, including its refusal of the most recent U.S. proposal that morning.
Boulos mentioned that the U.S. version aimed to ensure continuous, unrestricted humanitarian access across areas of conflict and borders, while setting the stage for a lasting ceasefire and broad political discussion.
The Sudanese envoy to the United Nations, Al-Harith Idris, strongly denied the claim, pointing out that the Sudanese leadership had already provided a direct reply to Boulos about the initiative prior to the meeting.
The Sudanese official proposed that Boulos had merely overlooked the letters, pointing out that the document contained an updated military withdrawal plan and a structure for re-establishing peace.
The open conflict highlights the significant tension between Washington and the military-backed ruling council, with Boulos blaming the conflicting groups for prolonging a war of attrition that harms civilians.
Although there is a stalemate, the U.S. representative stated that Washington remains engaged with the UN to develop a system for overseeing and enforcing a ceasefire if the involved parties change their stance.
