DOHA, Qatar – U.S. President Donald Trump’s Africa envoy, Massad Boulos, has declared the war in Sudan “the world’s biggest humanitarian crisis and catastrophe,” urging immediate action to address the devastating conflict.
Speaking in an interview in Doha on Saturday, Boulos pointed to recent atrocities in El-Fasher as “absolutely unacceptable” and emphasized that the situation “must stop very quickly.” The conflict, which began in April 2023 between Sudan’s army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF), has killed tens of thousands and displaced nearly 12 million people.
The U.S. and its mediating partners are pushing for a “three-month humanitarian truce” as an immediate priority. Boulos expressed hope for a diplomatic breakthrough in the coming weeks, noting that Washington’s larger plan includes a transition to a civilian-led government, a process from which the current warring parties would be excluded.
