US President Donald Trump announced Wednesday that America will intensify efforts to halt Sudan’s brutal civil war, responding to a personal appeal from Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman (MBS) during his White House visit, as the conflict displaces millions and triggers famine in war-torn regions.
Speaking at the US-Saudi Investment Forum in Washington, Trump recounted MBS’s plea: “Sir, you’re talking about a lot of wars, but there’s a place on Earth called Sudan, and it’s horrible what’s happening.” The president revealed his administration began working on the issue “within half an hour” of their Tuesday meeting, vowing collaboration with Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Egypt, and other Arab partners to “end these atrocities and stabilize Sudan.”

On Truth Social, Trump elaborated: “Arab Leaders… have asked me to use the power and influence of the Presidency to bring an immediate halt to what is taking place in Sudan. It is considered a Great Civilization… that can be fixed with the cooperation and coordination of Countries.” He emphasized urgent needs for food, doctors, and aid, branding Sudan “the most violent place on Earth and the single biggest Humanitarian Crisis.”
The pledge aligns with Trump’s self-styled “peace president” legacy—claiming to have ended “eight wars in eight months”—despite critics noting ongoing tensions like Israel’s Gaza operations. MBS’s request, made during his first US trip since the 2018 Jamal Khashoggi killing, underscores Riyadh’s security concerns over Sudan’s Red Sea proximity and regional fallout.

Sudan’s war, erupting April 2023 between the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF), has killed over 150,000, displaced 4 million, and sparked famine in el-Fasher and Kadugli, per UN analysis. The UN documented 3,384 civilian deaths in H1 2025 alone, on pace to exceed 2024’s 4,238, with ethnic violence, mass executions, and sexual atrocities as weapons of war. UN humanitarian chief Tom Fletcher called el-Fasher a “crime scene” after RSF’s October capture.
Sudan has endured three civil wars in 40 years (1955–72, 1983–2005, 2023–present), threatening Horn of Africa stability. Trump’s involvement, building on Biden-era engagement with SAF/RSF, could involve mediation, aid surges, or sanctions—echoing his Gaza, Armenia-Azerbaijan, and Egypt-Ethiopia deals, which leaders have nominated him for Nobel recognition.
As Trump eyes the prize, the White House affirmed direct talks with warring factions for a humanitarian truce, urging de-escalation to end Sudanese suffering.
