Letter to Senator Rubio concerning making Sudan a priority in the next administration
Operation Broken Silence is joining 30 organizations in encouraging Senator Marco Rubio, the presumptive 72nd Secretary of State, to ensure Sudan is a top priority for the incoming Trump Administration’s foreign policy.
What does this mean and why does it matter?
Sudan is home to the largest and most dangerous humanitarian emergency, far outpacing every other crisis in the world. Since April 2023, fighting between the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) has wreaked havoc on the Sudanese people. Mass atrocities, gross human rights violations, food insecurity, and climate-related disasters have forcibly displaced more than 11 million people from their homes. More than half the country is in desperate need of humanitarian assistance, with a handful of areas already experiencing famine.
In the aftermath of the 2019 revolution, Senator Rubio led a bipartisan resolution expressing support for the transition to a civilian-led government in Sudan. Over the course of 2024, the Biden Administration has made Sudan a higher priority, which has led to some improvements in humanitarian access and more serious efforts to secure a ceasefire.
Our hope is that if Senator Rubio is confirmed as Secretary of State, he will use his longstanding focus and experience with Sudan to make ending the war and reducing humanitarian needs a top priority in the administration. The United States must play its traditional role of international mobilizer when it comes to saving lives in Sudan.
