U.S Sudan Envoy Set For Africa, Middle East Peace Trip
US Special Envoy for Sudan Tom Perriello will travel to Africa and the Middle East from March 11-23. According to the State Department, the visit demonstrates the priority the administration places on ending the Sudan conflict. However, over the weekend, the assistant commander-in-chief of Sudan’s army rejected the calls for a ceasefire. The UN Security Council last Friday called for a ceasefire before the Muslim holy month of Ramadan. A Sudan analyst has called on the international community to exert maximum pressure on Sudan’s warring parties to reach a ceasefire... Suliman Baldo, director of the Sudan Transparency and Policy Tracker, tells VOA’s James Butty, a ceasefire is not likely because of the Sudanese army’s demands which, he says, amounts to a complete surrender of the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces.
