President Trump Turns to Sudan Crisis

 POLITICO published on 19 November 2025 an article titled "The Next Item on Donald Trump's Foreign Policy Agenda: Sudan" by Gregory Svirnovskiy.  

At the request of visiting Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, President Trump said he would engage personally in efforts to end the humanitarian crisis in Sudan.  He acknowledged that the issue had not previously been on his agenda.

The Eastleigh Voice published on 18 November 2025 an article titled "IGAD Leads New Push for Peace in Sudan as Regional and Global Partners Back Three-step Plan" by Mary Wambui.

This article provides an update on efforts by special envoy Massad Boulos and the US-led Quad (US, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and UAE) to end the conflict in Sudan.  The Quad's three-step plan begins with a three-month humanitarian truce, followed by a permanent cease fire, and concluding with a nine-month political process to establish a civilian-led government.  The African Union, Intergovernmental Authority for Development, European Union, and League of Arab States support the initiative.
