The Africa Report published on 20 November 2024 an article titled "US Congress Denounces RSF 'Genocide' in Sudan" by Julian Pecquet.
Bipartisan members of the US Congress are urging the administration to take more forceful action on the conflict in Sudan. Members in both the House and the Senate are calling for pressure on the UAE to end its support for the Rapid Support Forces while the Senate bill also cites concerns about the role of China, Egypt, Iran, Russia, and Saudi Arabia.
Comment: A political transition in the United States is an especially difficult time to pursue a foreign policy initiative. Both the outgoing Biden administration and the incoming Trump administration are focused on the political transition that formally ends on 20 January 2025. Both administrations have good relations with the UAE, which is the primary external offender in Sudan's catastrophic war. It will be difficult for either administration to take meaningful action.
