This joint resolution declares the conflict in Sudan an international crisis, highlighting the severe humanitarian situation stemming from a power struggle between Sudan's army and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) that erupted in April 2023. The resolution emphasizes the devastating impacts of the conflict, including over 25 million people needing humanitarian aid, more than 14 million people displaced (creating the world's largest displacement crisis), and approximately 25.6 million people projected to experience acute hunger. It details the RSF's systematic ethnic violence, including massacres, destruction of towns and villages, and infrastructure vandalism, while noting the conflict's potential to destabilize the Sahel and East Africa regions. The resolution calls upon the Trump Administration and the international community to take greater action and provide aid to the Sudanese people, recognizing the crisis as largely overlooked amid global attention on other conflicts. Additionally, it directs the California Assembly's Chief Clerk to distribute copies of the resolution to key federal government officials and representatives to raise awareness and encourage intervention.
