“In his self-portrayal as a global peacemaker, President Donald Trump prefers to employ arm-twisting pressure to stop a conflict, such as in Gaza. Yet for one of the most intractable wars – a civil conflict in Africa’s third-largest country, Sudan – he might be relying on principled persuasion. The reason? Mass atrocities against civilians on both sides of that 18-month-long war have pushed many nations with a strategic stake in Sudan to join a Trump-led effort for a humanitarian truce. On Monday, the U.S. senior adviser for Arab and African affairs, Massad Boulos, said Sudan’s rival military forces have agreed in principle to a three-month truce, which would allow safe corridors for delivery of vital aid. If a pause in fighting does help the millions of Sudanese in need, it would be a nod to a global norm that recognizes the innocence of civilians in battle zones.” (11/04/25)
