This resolution expresses the House of Representatives' urgent call for appointing a Special Envoy for Sudan to address the ongoing humanitarian crisis and national security concerns. The resolution highlights the devastating conflict between the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) that began in April 2023, which has resulted in nearly 13 million people being displaced and over 30 million people needing humanitarian assistance. The resolution urges the President to appoint a Special Envoy to lead diplomatic efforts to end the conflict, secure humanitarian access, and promote accountability. It calls on the State Department to prioritize Sudan strategically, provide robust humanitarian assistance, and work closely with African leaders and mediation efforts. The resolution emphasizes the conflict's potential to destabilize neighboring countries and create opportunities for extremist groups, and it affirms that resolving the conflict is crucial for promoting peace, protecting human rights, and advancing U.S. national security interests in the region.
