The article discusses Donald Trump's recent pledge to address the ongoing conflict in Sudan, prompted by a briefing from Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. Sudan has been embroiled in a devastating war for two and a half years, resulting in millions displaced and widespread famine. Trump stated that he will work with Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE to end the violence, acknowledging the "tremendous atrocities" occurring, particularly after the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) captured el-Fasher and committed mass killings. While the US has previously been involved in negotiations, Trump's personal influence with regional leaders, who are allegedly backing opposing sides, could potentially break the deadlock in the peace process. The Sudanese people are desperate for any intervention that might alleviate the suffering.
