US Africa envoy Massad Boulos condemned Sudan's military strikes inside Chad, urging an immediate humanitarian truce and cessation of external military and financial support. The strikes occurred in Chad's eastern Ennedi region, allegedly by the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) targeting weapons routes to the Rapid Support Forces (RSF).
Boulos emphasized that no military solution exists and that the conflict must stop beyond Sudan's borders. He called on the UN Security Council to strengthen sanctions against the warring parties. Chad is reportedly crucial to the UAE's logistical network supplying the RSF, with the UAE allegedly mediating peace efforts. Critics argue that Boulos has not condemned Chad's role in arming the RSF over the past years, suggesting his statements do little to advance diplomatic solutions.
