Sudan peace initiative outlined at Security Council briefing; speaker thanks wide range of international backers
An unidentified speaker at a United Nations Security Council briefing said Sudan "stands today at a crossroads" and presented a government peace initiative centered on civilian protection, accountability, ‘‘responsible truth,’’ national healing and reconciliation.

"Sudan stands today at a crossroads between unprecedented war, unprecedented invasion, and a future ... with hope, peace, and justice," the speaker said, framing the initiative as a path away from conflict. The speaker emphasized the initiative is not rhetorical: "No slogans, but important forcible and doable command commitments," and described it as "a structured and respectful, realistic exit from war."

The speaker named and thanked a range of international actors for their role in advancing the peace process, citing "president Donald Trump," "President Abdel Fattah Sisi, president of The Republic Of Egypt," and "Mohammed bin Salman, the crown prince of Saudi Arabia," for their initiative and leadership. The remarks also singled out "secretary of state Rubio" and a "senior adviser, Musad Bolis," as having taken part in the process, and expressed appreciation for African Security Council members listed as Algeria, Somalia, Sierra Leone and Guyana. The speaker paid tribute to the Russian delegation, China, Pakistan, and additional states including Qatar, Turkey, Eritrea, Djibouti, Angola, Kuwait and the Sultanate of Oman.

During the closing portion of the briefing a question was raised about the United Arab Emirates' role in the conflict. The speaker declined to take questions at that time, saying "the tradition is not to take questions at this briefing," and offered that questions could be taken later if needed. No formal vote or Council action was recorded during the session.

The briefing presented the government's stated priorities—civilian protection, accountability, truth, national healing and reconciliation—as its central aims; the speaker attributed direct international engagement and coordination to the countries and delegations named. The statement concluded with repeated expressions of gratitude and an invitation to pursue any follow-up questions after the session.
