Sudan: President Biden Calls Out Both Sides in Conflict

 The White House published on 17 September 2024 a "Statement from President Joe Biden on Sudan."

President Biden called on the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) to pull back their forces, facilitate unhindered humanitarian access, and re-engage in negotiations to end the war.  

He noted the United States previously determined that members of the SAF and the RSF have committed war crimes, and that members of the RSF have committed crimes against humanity and ethnic cleansing.
