Referred to the House Committee on Foreign Affairs.
This House resolution urges President Biden to immediately appoint a Special Envoy for Sudan to lead diplomatic efforts in resolving the country's devastating conflict between the Sudanese Armed Forces and the Rapid Support Forces, which has been ongoing since April 2023. The resolution highlights the humanitarian catastrophe unfolding in Sudan, where nearly 13 million people have been displaced and over 30 million—more than half the population—need assistance, while access for aid organizations remains severely restricted. The measure expresses concern that the conflict threatens to destabilize neighboring countries and has created opportunities for extremist groups to expand operations, posing risks to U.S. national security. The House calls for the State Department to elevate Sudan as a strategic priority, provide appropriate resources for peacebuilding efforts, continue robust humanitarian assistance, and work with African leaders and international mechanisms to address war crimes and accountability. The resolution is essentially a statement of congressional intent rather than binding law, but it signals the House's position that appointing a dedicated Special Envoy would enhance American diplomatic engagement and leadership on this critical issue.
