‘Peacemaker’ Trump can end Africa’s biggest war, former White House advisor says
Share this @internewscast.com

Following the recent success in resolving a conflict within Africa, President Donald Trump and his administration are “uniquely positioned” to address the continent’s other significant conflict in Sudan, as highlighted by a leading analyst.

President Trump facilitated a peace agreement on June 27 between the foreign ministers of the Democratic Republic of Congo and Rwanda at the White House, effectively ending their 30-year war.

Cameron Hudson, a former senior official on African affairs during the George W. Bush administration, exclusively conveyed to Fox News Digital that Trump’s efforts in promoting peace across Africa are “refreshing,” emphasizing the necessity of U.S. involvement in Sudan. 

“Africans, by and large, don’t begrudge the president for also having an agenda to secure critical minerals. I think they see his transparency and transactionalism as refreshing from a U.S. president. Washington has a tendency of speaking about our values but pursuing our interests in a contradictory fashion. For Trump, they see his interests as his values.”

Looking back at the tsunami of words but lack of definitive action from the previous administration, Hudson added, “If you look at the facts on the ground in Sudan today, this might be the last moment we have to try to walk the country back from the brink of collapse. U.S. involvement now is essential, not just for regional stability but for ensuring the U.S.’s own long-term security interests.

“A failed state of 50 million people on the shores of the Red Sea will disrupt an essential lane of commercial navigation, destabilize partners across the Gulf and send waves of migrants streaming into Europe and Africa. None of this serves Washington’s interests.”

Ambassador Shea said at this week’s Security Council briefing the U.S. believes “external support to the warring (Sudanese) parties only serves to prolong the conflict and must cease.”

Hudson said the U.S. could — and should — end that support.

“The Trump administration is uniquely positioned to make a difference in Sudan,” Hudson said. “The principal backers to the sides in the war — Egypt, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Turkey — are all U.S. allies. where President Trump has cultivated close ties and deep influence. He is in a position to help these countries settle their differences and forge a consensus on ending their support for the war. It will take some dedicated diplomacy, but that is the message that he is trying to send, that he is a peacemaker.”

“The United States remains focused on working with our partners to resolve the crisis in Sudan,” the State Department spokesperson told Fox News Digital Friday. “We support the restoration of civilian governance in a peaceful, unified Sudan. We continue to engage with key regional and other partners to urge the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) to cease hostilities, allow unhindered humanitarian access to all parts of the country, protect civilians and take steps toward a negotiated peace through inclusive dialogue.”
