US Senior Advisor for Arab and African Affairs Massad Boulos revealed on Friday that the US had called on all Sudanese parties to immediately and unconditionally accept a humanitarian truce backed by the United Nations mechanism.
Boulos took part in several diplomatic meetings on the sidelines of a UN Security Council meeting on Sudan.
The US calls on all parties to accept the truce so that lifesaving aid can be delivered to civilians and so that dialogue can kick off, he stressed.
He said the US continues to work with its partners towards achieving fair and permanent peace in Sudan.
He underlined their commitment to holding those responsible for genocide in Sudan to account.
They also back the trusted transition towards civilian rule, he added.
The Sudanese people deserve to live in security, dignity and without fear, Boulos said.
He joined other world leaders at the Security Council “to address the dire crisis in Sudan and the urgent need to end more than 1,000 days of needless conflict,” he wrote on X.
“The Council delivered a clear and unified message: there is no military solution to this conflict, and the time to end the fighting is now,” he added.
“The suffering of the Sudanese people has been devastating, with widespread displacement, food insecurity, and atrocities that demand both global attention and action.
“I reaffirmed that achieving durable peace in Sudan remains a priority for US President Donald Trump and underscored America’s commitment to helping bring this war to an end,” Boulos stated.
He outlined “five key pillars for international alignment: an immediate humanitarian truce; sustained humanitarian access and protection of civilians; a permanent ceasefire and credible security arrangements; an inclusive, civilian-led political transition; and a long-term path toward recovery and reconstruction that restores stability and opportunity for the Sudanese people.”
“The United States will continue working closely with allies and partners, including our Quad partners, the UK, and others to press for a humanitarian truce and expand life-saving assistance,” he vowed.
“We will also continue holding accountable those responsible for atrocities, even as we push urgently for the peace the Sudanese people deserve,” he declared.
