President Donald Trump announced that he would work to end the Sudanese civil war shortly after Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman advocated as much.

The Sudanese civil war has escalated into the greatest humanitarian crisis in the world since armed conflict broke out between the Sudanese Armed Forces and paramilitary Rapid Support Forces. Though largely overshadowed in the news by wars in the Levant and Ukraine, Sudan once again made headlines late last month when videos and evidence surfaced of a major massacre by RSF troops in the city of El Fasher. During his personal meeting with Trump on Tuesday, Salman urged Trump to use his peacemaking efforts to end the war, an appeal that paid off on Wednesday.
