It was my pleasure yesterday to attend the luncheon hosted by His Excellency President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi in New Alamein City, Egypt, alongside General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, Chairman of Sudan’s Transitional Sovereignty Council, on the sidelines of the African Union Coordination Meeting. In this context, we reaffirm the steadfast position of the United States in support of the Sudanese people and its support for preserving Sudan’s unity, sovereignty, and territorial integrity. We also reaffirm the United States’ continued efforts, alongside our Egyptian partners and our other regional and international partners and allies, to advance a political solution to the crisis, contribute to ending the war, and alleviate the humanitarian suffering of the Sudanese people, as called for by President Trump. These efforts aim to enable Sudan to restore its security and stability, embark on reconstruction and development, and, through an inclusive Sudanese-owned and Sudanese-led national dialogue, transition toward a civilian-led government. The United States stands ready to support all efforts leading to a comprehensive dialogue among the Sudanese political forces, leading to a preliminary road map of the future of the Sudan. We encourage the Sudanese to be inclusive and to engage actively with regional and international stakeholders to coordinate views, harmonizing efforts toward a conducive and peaceful path to ending the war in Sudan.
