A spokesperson for the US Department of State told The New Arab that the United States has proposed a five-point plan to end the war in Sudan .
The plan includes securing a humanitarian truce and ensuring the uninterrupted delivery of humanitarian aid; calls for protecting civilians, whether or not a truce is in place; reaching a permanent ceasefire through negotiations; launching an independent, inclusive, civilian-led political dialogue and process that will lead to a transition to civilian rule; and the fifth point focuses on reconstruction.
The spokesperson said the United States is currently holding discussions with the Sudanese Armed Forces and the Rapid Support Forces on the proposed humanitarian truce and peace plan.
The spokesperson further called on warring Sudanese parties to accept the truce and the peace plan as presented, without preconditions, to end hostilities and attacks against civilians and to allow humanitarian aid to reach all parts of the country.
The spokesperson reiterated that the United States is calling for an end to all external support for the warring parties and urged all its partners to press for a complete cessation of hostilities in Sudan and to facilitate the delivery of humanitarian aid.
Regarding US sanctions on Sudan, the State Department spokesperson noted on 22 May 2025 that, following a thorough analysis, the United States concluded that the Government of Sudan had used chemical weapons in 2024.
The spokesperson called on the Sudanese government to cease the use of all chemical weapon s and fulfil its obligations under the Chemical Weapons Convention, to which it is a party.
"The Government of Sudan must immediately acknowledge the violations it has committed, refrain from using chemical weapons again, and cooperate fully with the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons," the spokesperson said.
"As Secretary of State Marco Rubio has indicated, efforts are being made at the highest levels of government to raise this issue and apply pressure on the relevant parties to stop the external assistance fuelling the violence," he added.
Last month, Washington announced new sanctions on entities and individuals it said were involved in prolonging the conflict in Sudan, supplying weapons to the Sudanese Armed Forces and the Rapid Support Forces, and supporting both sides with foreign fighters.
It also announced a second round of sanctions against Sudan under the Chemical and Biological Weapons Control and Warfare Elimination Act, barring international financial institutions from providing the country with loans and financial assistance.
