Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives on the urgent need to appoint a Special Envoy for Sudan to address the ongoing conflict and humanitarian crisis and to advance United States national security interests.
This non-binding House resolution urges the President to appoint a Special Envoy for Sudan to lead U.S. diplomatic efforts addressing the ongoing conflict and humanitarian crisis. It specifically calls for the envoy to coordinate with the Middle East Special Envoy, secure humanitarian access, and advance U.S. national security interests. The resolution highlights that over 13 million people have been displaced and 30 million require aid in Sudan, with regional instability and extremist threats escalating. It also requests the State Department elevate Sudan as a strategic priority and ensure robust humanitarian assistance. The resolution reflects the House's view that a dedicated envoy would strengthen U.S. diplomatic engagement to support peace and stability.
