Trump Vows “Cooperation and Coordination” to Help End Sudan’s Civil War
US President Donald Trump has announced a new diplomatic initiative aimed at ending Sudan’s devastating civil war, saying his administration will work closely with key Middle Eastern allies to push for peace. The commitment marks one of the strongest US positions on the conflict in recent years.
A New Focus on Sudan’s Humanitarian Crisis
Trump said he intends to coordinate efforts with Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Egypt and other regional partners to halt the violence. According to his statement, the war in Sudan has reached “unacceptable levels of suffering,” with widespread displacement, food shortages, and medical crises.
He acknowledged that Sudan’s conflict had not been a major focus for his administration earlier, but urged that immediate cooperation is needed to stop what he described as “tremendous atrocities.”
Regional Powers to Play Lead Role
Instead of a unilateral US approach, Trump emphasized a joint regional strategy. Middle Eastern nations are expected to have a central role in mediating between the warring factions, providing humanitarian aid and helping stabilize affected regions.
The push comes at a time when international pressure is rising to secure a lasting ceasefire and protect civilians who have been caught in months of brutal fighting.
Humanitarian Aid and Ceasefire Talks
Trump outlined that the coordinated effort will include:
-
Emergency food supplies
-
Expanded medical assistance
-
Pressure on armed groups to agree to a humanitarian ceasefire
-
Support for long-term political negotiations
With millions displaced and essential services collapsing, humanitarian agencies have repeatedly warned that the crisis in Sudan could worsen without stronger international action.
Diplomatic Analysts React
Experts say Trump’s newfound engagement could elevate international attention on Sudan. Some analysts believe the cooperation with Gulf nations may help increase leverage over the parties involved in the conflict.
However, others caution that Sudan’s complex network of rival militias, political factions, and foreign influence will make any peace initiative difficult to implement quickly.
What Comes Next?
The White House has confirmed that diplomatic teams are already working with Middle Eastern partners to shape a coordinated peace proposal. Upcoming talks are expected to focus on achieving a temporary ceasefire while setting the groundwork for long-term negotiations.
For now, humanitarian groups hope the renewed focus will bring relief to millions facing hunger, displacement, and ongoing violence in Sudan.
