Tom Perriello, US Special Envoy for Sudan, Seeks Peace Negotiations After Ramadan
Travelling between several Red Sea countries on March 21st, U.S. Special Envoy for Sudan Tom Perriello described to journalists a woman who had escaped from fighting in Darfur: “Women go out to the fields to find food for their family and often are raped, come home, and have to go back to that same field the next day. These abuses need to end. We need accountability for those who have had command-and-control structure over the people committing the atrocities.” Perriello hopes to see the rival Sudanese generals Burhan and Hemedti, who have been at war since September 2023, as well as political parties and “all voices”, including foreign supporters, return to serious peace negotiations after the Muslim month of fasting ends on April 10th.
