Biden calls for peace in Sudan

President Joe Biden issued a statement on Tuesday calling for peace in Sudan and criticizing aggressors of the war that has plagued the country for 17 months. The president blamed the actions of the Sudanese Armed Forces and the Rapid Support Forces for the war.

“For over 17 long months, the Sudanese people have endured a senseless war that has created one of the world’s worst humanitarian crises,” Biden said in the statement. “Nearly 10 million people have been displaced by this conflict. Women and girls have been kidnapped and sexually assaulted. Famine has taken hold in Darfur, and is threatening millions more elsewhere.”
