The UAE has welcomed the comprehensive peace plan for Sudan announced by US Senior Advisor for Arab and African Affairs Massad Boulos.

The peace plan is built around five pillars that include immediate humanitarian truce, sustained humanitarian access and civilian protection, a permanent ceasefire, a political transition to a civilian-led government, and post-war reconstruction.

In a statement shared by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MoFA), the UAE's Minister of State, Sheikh Shakhboot bin Nahyan Al Nahyan, stressed that these steps are essential for a transitional process that is independent of the warring parties and extremist groups.

He also commended the leadership of US President Donald Trump in preventing Sudan from sliding further into extremism, fragmentation, and a deepening humanitarian catastrophe.

The minister reaffirmed the UAE’s unwavering commitment to working with the Quad, emphasising that an immediate ceasefire would strengthen ongoing efforts to support a sustainable, civilian political solution. 

He further expressed his appreciation to the US for convening the humanitarian conference and Quad meeting of February 3 in Washington in efforts to resolve the conflict. 

During the conference, the UAE announced an additional $500 million humanitarian pledge to address urgent needs in Sudan and ensure civilians affected by the war can access life-saving assistance.
