| 2026-05-10 |
| [SudanTribune] U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said on Friday that the United States is pushing for a humanitarian ceasefire in Sudan to establish safe havens for aid distribution, while warning that the conflict has devolved into a proxy war. Speaking during a press conference in Italy following a meeting with Pope Leo XIV and Italian officials, Rubio described the situation in Sudan as “one of the world’s worst humanitarian crises ever.” The Secretary of State noted that while the warring parties recently reached a “statement of principles,” international mediators must now translate those words into action on the ground. “What we’ve really been focused on in Sudan is sort of establishing a humanitarian ceasefire that allows us to provide aid to people that are suffering tremendously there, but not doing so at the expense of a broader deal,” Rubio said.
