Sudan has been in turmoil for two and a half years with failed peace efforts and increasing violence. President Trump's recent pledge to start working on solutions for Sudan after a meeting with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman signals a potential shift in U.S. involvement. Trump called the situation as 'the most violent place on Earth' and has vowed to collaborate with Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE to bring an end to the conflict.
Despite previous U.S. support for peace negotiations, Trump's personal influence with key regional leaders might be necessary to break the deadlock, as millions face displacement and famine. With a recent surge in violence, including over 5,000 deaths in a targeted assault, the need for intervention is urgent.
The Quad plan—consisting of the U.S., Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE—seeks a ceasefire, humanitarian access, and civilian-led government negotiations, yet the rivalry among these nations complicates peace efforts. Sudan’s leadership is entrenched in a cycle of retaliation, with both military factions unwilling to compromise and regional governments taking sides in the conflict.
As both humanitarian aid and diplomatic pressure are crucial in moving forward, the question remains: can Trump break the cycle of violence and lead Sudan towards a stable and peaceful future?
