Washington D.C. – U.S. Special Envoy for Sudan Tom perriello will embark on a crucial diplomatic mission this week, traveling to Doha, Nairobi, London, and Nouakchott to rally international support for peace and humanitarian aid in war-torn sudan.Perriello’s trip, beginning December 6, comes amidst a deepening humanitarian crisis in Sudan, where months of conflict have displaced millions and pushed the nation to the brink of famine. The envoy will focus on three key objectives: scaling up humanitarian assistance, deterring atrocities and the flow of weapons, and coordinating international efforts to end the conflict.
“The situation in Sudan is dire,” Perriello said in a statement. “We must act urgently to alleviate the suffering of the sudanese people and work towards a lasting peace.”
During his meetings with government officials, international organizations, and civil society leaders, Perriello will stress the urgent need for the warring parties to:
Allow the establishment of additional UN humanitarian hubs: These hubs are crucial for efficiently distributing aid to those in desperate need across Sudan.
Guarantee safe passage through humanitarian corridors: These corridors would ensure the safe and unimpeded movement of civilians fleeing violence and the delivery of essential supplies.
Strengthen protections for civilians, particularly women and girls: The conflict has exacerbated the risk of gender-based violence, and perriello will advocate for measures to safeguard vulnerable populations.
Support a transition to civilian governance: A lasting peace in Sudan requires a political solution that empowers the Sudanese people and ensures their voices are heard.
The U.S. remains committed to working with international partners to bring an end to the violence in Sudan and build a brighter future for its people.
