US Envoy Pushes for Humanitarian Aid and Peace in Sudan

Efforts to increase aid access and cease hostilities face challenges amid ongoing conflict.

US Special Envoy Tom Perriello met with Sudanese army chief Abdel Fattah al-Burhan to discuss humanitarian aid and conflict resolution.
The 19-month conflict between the Sudanese army and the Rapid Support Forces has led to severe humanitarian crises, with millions in need of aid.
Proposals for humanitarian corridors and pauses in fighting were discussed to improve aid delivery to affected regions.
Despite some progress in aid access, both sides of the conflict are accused of obstructing humanitarian efforts.
International efforts, including those by the US, Saudi Arabia, and the African Union, continue to seek a ceasefire and transition to civilian government.
