Coinciding with the statements of the President of the Transitional Sovereignty Council in Sudan, the Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces, Lieutenant General Abdel Fattah Al-Burhan Al-Burhan, in which he said, “There is no truce with the rebellion,” Massad Boulos, the US President’s senior advisor for Arab and African affairs, said that the Quartet mechanism concerned with Sudan has finished drafting the final text of a peace agreement that includes a humanitarian truce, expecting its approval in the coming weeks.
Trump's senior advisor said, in his speech yesterday, Tuesday, during a humanitarian aid conference in Washington, that the United States is working to establish arrangements to reduce the escalation, including a limited withdrawal of forces from some areas with the aim of facilitating the arrival of aid, stressing that it was agreed within the Quartet mechanism to redeploy forces to specific locations, as part of preliminary steps to stop hostilities, allowing the opening of safe humanitarian corridors.
Boulos confirmed that the agreement will be submitted to the Security Council after the Quartet approves it, as an essential step to support settlement efforts, announcing that American and international efforts have resulted in the collection of approximately one and a half billion dollars to support humanitarian efforts in light of the worsening needs as the war continues.
Former Sudanese government official Dr. Rabie Abdel Ati says: “Whether the American envoy knows or does not know, the matter in Sudan is not in his hands, nor in the hands of an authority or individual. Rather, this is a purely Sudanese matter governed by facts and evidence, and its leadership is owned by Sudanese public opinion.”
In his interview with Sputnik, he added: “According to what I see, the battles taking place now in the western outskirts of Sudan are taking place with gangs that have nothing to do with a truce or agreement, and the Sudanese army is pursuing these gangs in their hideouts and is on its way to uprooting them, as happened in South Kordofan in the city of Dilling and Kadugli.”
Abdel Ati Abdel Ati believes: “The cities of Dilling and Kadugli are the two cities that open the way to circumvent the RSF gangs, and perhaps soon we will witness the army taking control of all areas of Darfur, including Nyala, El Geneina, El Fasher, Zalingei, and other cities and countrysides.”
The head of the Sudan People's Liberation Movement, Dr. Muhammad Mustafa, says: “The statements of the big countries are not for consumption, as politicians do in third world countries, but rather they are statements based on precise strategic calculations.”
He explained in his speech to “Sputnik”: “Musaad Boulos’ statements result from a real assessment of the positions of the countries supporting the parties to the war, the positions of the parties to the war on the battlefield and at the political level, the humanitarian situation that the Sudanese citizen is experiencing, and his position on stopping and ending the war.”
Mustafa believes that “the settlement options may clash with the psychological reality of the two sides of the war, the convictions of each party, and the level of acceptance of each other to work together in one government and form one armed forces, but when each of them is certain that there is no margin of freedom for maneuver, a solution becomes possible, and this may be achieved when the large countries have the will to do so.”
Dr. Adel Abdel-Baqi, head of Sudanese civil society organizations, told the same agency: “There has been a significant decline in military operations in the past two months with the gradual cessation of support from countries supporting the parties to the conflict, which effectively contributed to stopping the prolongation of the war.”
