The State Department’s position on the war in Sudan has become stronger in its comments on Fox News Digital, as the 500-day siege of El Fasher in Darfur has trapped hundreds of thousands of civilians.
Sudan Suffering from the world’s largest displacement: Since the start of combat with the Rebel Rapid Support Force (RSF) (RSF) and the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) (SAF) of the Sudan Government began its battle in April 2023, an estimated 13 to 15 million people have been deprived of their homes and have been estimated to have been killed. The Civil War originated in Omar al-Bashir after the tensions in 2019.
“During the siege of El Fasher and surrounding areas, the RSF committed numerous crimes including murder, torture, enslavement, slavery, rape, sexual slavery, sexual violence, sexual violence, forced displacement and persecution of race, gender and political grounds, “is a mission to build an independent international fact against Sudan,” reported to the UNS Human Rights Commission on Friday a separate international fact fact.

The report, with other accounts, agreed that the RSF attempted to starve El Fasher’s residents to death, noting that “RSF and its allies use starvation as a method of war.”
Stéphane Dujarric, spokesman for the UN Secretary-General, said aid was blocked from entering El Fasher and said on August 29 that there was a pre-processing nearby United Nations Its partners’ transfer of them to El Fasher continues to be hampered.
“The situation in El Fasher is still terrible,” Mariam Wahba, a research analyst at the Democratic Defense Foundation, told Fox News Digital. “RSF effectively surrounds the city, cutting off critical supply routes and vain shelling civilians. Satellite images show that a wall is being built to trap civilians inside, consistent with the RSF strategies used elsewhere. Inhabitants of these “killing areas” have no escape means to escape. Territorial and economic assets, especially profitable gold mines.”
President Donald Trump’s special counsel in Africa, Massad BoulosLast month, he met Sudanese Army Chief Abdel Fattah al-Burhan in Switzerland. From the State Department’s response to Fox News’ digital issues on Sudan this week, there seems to be little progress on the road to peace.

Former White House adviser said that “peacemaker” Trump could end Africa’s biggest war.
“To safeguard American interests, including protecting religious freedom in Sudan, the United States strives to limit the negative impact of Islam on the Sudanese government and reduce regional activities in Iran that have led to regional stability, conflict and civilian suffering.”
Wahba also cares about the activities of foreign “bad actors” in Sudan. “Iran provides drone and technical support to SAF. Emerging reports indicate Iran’s interest in helicopter facilities. Iran Participating it in Sudan is the gateway to expand its footprint in Africa. ”
Valba continued: “Russia has played both sides of the conflict. It pursued naval bases on the Red Sea coast of Sudan, which would allow Moscow to go directly into the critical transport lane, while also profiting from Gold Smightings from the network connected to the RSF.”

“Regional power is also promoting its own interests. Egypt has publicly supported the SAF, aligned with Sudan’s ruler Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, the custodian of Sudan’s gold exports and its path to its port development plan on the Red Sea coast.”

Valba concluded: “Burhan’s willingness to interact with Washington is a potential openness. This does not mean that the United States should support SAF unconditionally, but it can be the basis for a clearer American strategy, which has led us to participate in the SAF’s participation, or to cancel Islamic militia and leadership.
