U.S. Special Envoy for Sudan (USSES) Tom Perriello will travel to Riyadh, Cairo, and Ankara starting on September 8 to continue efforts to end the war and famine in Sudan. Building on the recent success of the Aligned for Advancing Lifesaving and Peace in Sudan (ALPS) initiative, diplomatic priorities include urging the Sudanese Armed Forces and the Rapid Support Forces to expand humanitarian access in Sudan, ensuring the protection of civilians in accordance with international humanitarian law and human rights law, as applicable, their existing commitments under the Jeddah Declaration, and seeking a cessation of hostilities.

During his stops, USSES Perriello will meet with Sudanese refugees and civilian leaders across the region, as well as key government officials and multilateral partners from the Arab League and IGAD.

The United States remains committed to working with international partners to alleviate the suffering of the Sudanese people and achieve a cessation of hostilities agreement between the warring parties.
