In an interview with Al-Jazeera- US President Donald Trump’s envoy for the Middle East and his chief adviser for African Affairs, Massad Paul, said in a special interview with Al-Jazeera-: There are efforts for peaceful solutions that the Trump administration is looking to resolve the situation in Sudan, and that the Sudanese file is subject to the American agenda, and has a priority and importance with the American administration, and stressed that in the near term “we will see efforts in this direction.”
Paul described the crisis in Sudan as the largest tragedy in Africa and in the world and that it affects the regional humanitarian situation; Because of the number of displaced people inside the country and refugees outside it.
President Trump’s advisor to the Sudanese affairs seemed very kind when he described the Sudanese people as “the beloved and generous people” and put the crisis in Sudan as “very unfortunate and very painful.” As he put it.
These descriptions have important implications for understanding, analyzing and forensic the American position on the crisis in Sudan not only as they are exceptional in the context of the rude abuse of the Trump administration with international political issues, starting from the regional environment of the United States, which is a vital field for it, and not ending with its historical allies in the European continent.
This can be considered a smooth entrance to the creation of a positive American penetration that paves the way for the crisis in Sudan on the path of a solution, and a key step in the right direction if the American abuse is taken with it with the calm and pleasant approach that came in the folds of President Trump’s advisor, Massad Paul, away from the language of threat and promises that were called the first hundred days of President Trump’s custody.
Another very important matter was mentioned in Paul’s speech, which of course expresses the vision of the American administration, which is its focus on the human dimension of the crisis in Sudan, which was caused by the rapid support militia with its inhuman practices and its commitment of genocide, and targeting the systematic civilians with murder, rape, sexual violence, arrest, detention, torture, and starvation to death against prisoners and displacement The forced citizens of their homes and villages, destroy civilian notables, indiscriminate bombing of neighborhoods and markets, shelter centers, service civil facilities, and cities siege, preventing entry of humanitarian aid and the destruction of hospitals and medical units that provide health services to citizens.
This American interest in the humanitarian situation should go in the right direction that leads to a fundamental solution to the entire crisis, and it should not take another path that would pour more oil on the fire and exacerbate the complexity of the crisis, and extend its supply.
The other way is this that not everyone wants, the first of whom is the first concerned Sudanese people, is that the Trump administration approach to solving the humanitarian crisis to interfere by force, whether internationally or regionally, or that the Sudanese army is equal in the rapid support militia and their partners in causing the crisis, imposing sanctions on the militia and army leaderships on an equal footing, and depicting the war as a conflict over power between “General.”
This wrong approach, if adopted and adopted from the American side, will be catastrophic, as they are unrealistic, jumping over the facts on the ground and turning away from seeing the crisis reservoirs and equal between the perpetrator and the victim and does not care about the rights of victims and those affected by the practices of the rapid support militia and its crimes that the world has witnessed, and still committed against civilians in different regions in the states of Darfur, Kordofan, and Kardfan, The White Nile, the Nile River, North, and Khartoum, vowed to commit more crimes in other regions, and say that the war is still in its beginnings!
In front of the Trump administration- if it honestly wants to put an end to the war in Sudan, remedy the humanitarian crisis in it, and prevent it from worsening- another option and the way is the shortest among all other roads, and this option is an approach that contains an integrated package of initial measures that the Trump administration must take as a basis that can be built on to reach a radical and final solution to the war in Sudan.
- The first of these procedures; It is the pressure on the regional forces that support the fast support militia to stop their support for them immediately, without slowing down.
This is within the reach of the Trump administration, given that at the head of these regional forces supporting the militia is an ally and a strong regional partner for the United States, and stopping support for money, weapons supplies, military equipment, supplies, mercenary soldiers, technical crews, communication systems and strategic drones, including non -strategic and long -term defender and all heavy and light weapons.
secondly; The Trump administration must recognize the legitimacy of the transitional authority that is now in Sudan as a transitional government based on the administration of the country’s affairs internally and externally until stability is achieved and the situation is prepared in the country, and then free and transparent free elections and move towards democratic rule with a civil administration elected by the Sudanese people.
- Third; The Trump administration should support the road map launched by the post -war Sudanese government, which came as a result of extensive consultations conducted by the Sudanese government with a number of national and societal forces, and it aims to prepare for the post -war and resuming the comprehensive political process that will culminate in the holding of free and fair general elections.
The most important features of this map are the launch of a comprehensive national dialogue, the formation of a government of independent national competencies to complete the tasks of the transitional period and overcome the consequences of the war, make the necessary legal amendments, and choose a civil prime minister to manage the executive apparatus of the state, call for arms and evacuating civilian objects as a condition for any formula of possible talks with the rapid support militia, and raising the rapid support militia besiege its blockade from Fasher, withdrawing from all the sites in it.
- Fourth; Consultation with the Sudanese government and other parties concerned on the issue of reconstruction and compensation and agreement on a clear vision to address the humanitarian conditions and mechanisms for delivering humanitarian aid, how to compensate the victims, restore the displaced, and reconcile the conditions of refugees abroad.
These are important and indispensable keys to reach an acceptable and rapid solution to the war in Sudan and put an end to the humanitarian crisis, as the Trump administration described through its envoy to the Middle East Masaad Paul the situation as “the largest tragedy in Africa and the world”, and that it is “very painful and very unfortunate.”
