New U.S.–Qatar Roadmap to End the Sudan War

Senior Advisor to the U.S. President for Arab and African Affairs, Massad Boulos, affirmed that the ongoing war in Sudan has become a direct threat to neighboring countries, foremost Egypt and Chad, stressing that the country is currently facing “the world’s most severe humanitarian crisis.”

Speaking at a press conference on Saturday following the signing of a peace agreement between the Congolese government and the M23 Movement in the Qatari capital, Doha, Boulos said that Washington is working with Qatar and other regional countries to formulate a comprehensive roadmap to end the conflict. He explained that the U.S. administration is in continuous contact with both parties to the conflict to push them toward a political path that can halt the deteriorating situation.

Boulos added that they remain in constant communication with the government and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), and are working to implement the roadmap proposed by the Quad countries, noting that the success of the process will not be achieved without the involvement of the United States’ partners, including Qatar and Sudan’s neighboring states.

He stressed that the recent developments in Sudan over the past weeks are a source of concern for the United States, the U.S. President, and the international community, expressing hope for a breakthrough in the coming weeks.

Boulos also underscored that delivering humanitarian assistance to people in need across Sudan remains a top priority for the United States.
