Massad Boulos Announces Burhan’s Acceptance of the Truce and Prepares to Visit Khartoum for Implementation

US Presidential Advisor for Arab and African Affairs, Massad Boulos, confirmed his readiness to travel immediately to Khartoum to finalize the initiative to end the war by agreeing on a humanitarian truce in Sudan. He emphasized that Washington sees this step as a genuine opportunity to de-escalate the conflict and open a political path that alleviates the worsening humanitarian crisis.

Boulos expressed his satisfaction with the statements of Sudan’s representative to the United Nations, Ambassador Al-Harith Idris, who indicated that Head of the Sovereignty Council, Lieutenant General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, had apparently accepted the latest peace proposal and not rejected it. Boulos described this as an encouraging development that paves the way for a new diplomatic initiative.

He explained that the initiative was recently developed through close consultations with the Sudanese Foreign Minister and other members of the Sovereignty Council, in coordination with the Egyptian side. It has also been welcomed by Saudi Arabia, which strengthens its chances of success if officially announced.

He added, “We warmly welcome this encouraging development and reiterate our readiness to travel immediately to Khartoum with our partners to announce and advance this initiative,” emphasizing that the sole interest of the United States is to help end the world’s largest humanitarian crisis.
