US Senior Advisor for Arab and African Affairs Massad Boulos met with Sudan’s army chief Abdel Fattah al-Burhan in Egypt over the weekend, as part of ongoing efforts to resolve a civil war that has displaced more than 14 million people since April 2023. The meeting occurred shortly after the US had withheld a visa from al-Burhan for a UN appearance due to resistance to a ceasefire proposal. Boulos reaffirmed the United States' commitment, alongside Egypt and other partners, to achieving a political solution to the conflict.
