The Sudanese Alliance for Rights (SAR) welcomes the recent statements by Egypt and the United States, which further demonstrate the international commitment to resolving the conflict in Sudan. On 28 October 2025, Egypt’s Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty called for “concerted regional and international efforts to achieve an immediate and sustainable ceasefire in Sudan,” reaffirming Egypt’s rejection of any attempts to divide Sudan and emphasising the framework established by the Quartet’s roadmap. Around 3 November 2025, the U.S. Department of State underscored that “the RSF must stop engaging in retribution and ethnic violence … There isn’t a viable military solution, and external military support only prolongs the conflict,” highlighting the continued diplomatic push to ensure the September proposals are respected and implemented.
These statements build on the joint statement issued on 12 September 2025 by the Governments of the United States, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates, following their ministerial meeting in Washington, D.C. The meeting—co-convened to address the deepening conflict in Sudan—resulted in a collective call for a three-month humanitarian truce, followed by a permanent ceasefire and a nine-month inclusive transition toward a civilian-led government.
We commend the spirit of cooperation shown by the Quad countries and urge all regional and international partners to lend their full political and logistical support to ensure this roadmap’s success. We equally call upon the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) to adhere strictly to the ceasefire proposal, demonstrate genuine commitment to peace, and end the cycle of violence that has brought untold suffering to our nation.
We further urge the international community, as well as all civil society organisations across Sudan and the region, to continue putting coordinated pressure on all actors to respect the terms of the ceasefire, ensure unrestricted humanitarian access, and end external military support that continues to inflame the conflict. The credibility of this peace effort depends on decisive and unified follow-through from both governments and civil society actors.
The people of Sudan yearn for peace. They have endured unbearable pain, displacement, and loss. We believe they will embrace this truce as a chance to rebuild their lives and reclaim their right to safety, dignity, and freedom. The hopes of millions depend on the willingness of the warring parties to silence their guns and choose dialogue over destruction.
SAR reiterates that lasting peace in Sudan can only be achieved through inclusive dialogue, civilian leadership, and accountability for grave human rights violations. We stand ready to work with regional and international partners in advancing these principles and ensuring that this roadmap leads to justice, reconciliation, and a democratic future for all Sudanese people.
