Khartoum: The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation has refuted statements made by US President's adviser for Arab and African affairs, Massad Boulos, at the UN Security Council. Boulos claimed that the Transitional Sovereignty Council (TSC) had rejected a proposal paper submitted to it.
According to Sudan News Agency, the Ministry stated that Boulos' remarks were 'inaccurate' and do not reflect the official positions of the Government of Sudan and its sovereign institutions. The Ministry emphasized that the government had engaged constructively with Boulos' proposals and provided a detailed response within ongoing consultations with the US administration. It underscored Sudan's openness to any sincere and transparent efforts aimed at achieving peace and safeguarding national interests.
The statement highlighted the government's positive record in responsibly engaging with initiatives to end the war. It cited the signing of the Jeddah Declaration in May 2023 and adherence to several humanitarian truces violated by the rebel Rapid Support Forces (RSF) militia. Additionally, the government submitted a formal initiative to the UN Security Council on 22 December 2025, aimed at protecting civilians and creating conditions for a cessation of hostilities.
The Ministry stressed that any serious efforts to end the war in Sudan must address its root causes. This includes the immediate cessation of external supply of weapons and mercenaries to the militia, and the drying up of political and diplomatic support that enables it to continue committing violations and atrocities against innocent civilians.
In conclusion, the Ministry called on the international community and regional actors to engage with the realities on the ground with objectivity and realism. It stressed that Sudan is facing direct aggression backed by foreign sponsorship through a terrorist militia, which requires a firm international stance that supports national state institutions and strengthens prospects for stability.
