U.S. / Sudan EngagementHumanitarian Intervention and Political
Transformation
The media of the Sudan regime is waging an intensive political
propaganda campaign
about the engagement between the U.S. Administration and the
Sudan regime,saying that it will eventually lead to lifting the
sanctions on the Sudan regime, it will
be at the expense of the Sudanese opposition, and it came as a
result of the U.S.songoing wrong policy on Sudan including the
secession of South Sudan! e havebeen approached by many in the
media soliciting our views. eaving the
government propaganda behind us, the S"#$% would li&e to say
the following'
() e have been informed officially by the U.S. Special *nvoy to
Sudan and South
Sudan, as a member of the Sudan +all, about the recent
engagement two wee&sago.
) e welcome the engagement between the U.S. Administration and
the Sudan
regime.
-) e are loo&ing forward for this engagement to impact
positively on the
humanitarian intervention and the political democratic
transformation in Sudan as a&ey point to address the rest of
the issues between Sudan and the outside worldincluding terrorism
and immigration.
) The Sudan government will not transform its outside relations
unless it
transforms relations with its own people. /t is to be noted
seriously that terrorism,war crimes, and forced migration have all
been practiced on the Sudanese people
and exported to the rest of the world.
0) The U.S. Administration has engaged the Sudan regime for 1
years, but theSudan regimes practice is to buy time and to ignore
the agenda of transformation
and ending wars. This also needs to be ta&en into
consideration.
2) e see an opportunity in this engagement to expedite urgent
humanitarian
intervention and civilian protection in accordance with
international humanitarian lawin the %uba #ountains, 3lue %ile and
4arfur as a matter of priority.
The Roadmap
There is now a favorable environment to reach an understanding
between the Sudan+all and the AU5/" on The 6oadmap that will
address the concerns of the Sudan +all
and get The 6oadmap signed. This re7uires fran& and in depth
discussions betweenthe Sudan +all and the AU5/" into which the
S"#$%, as a member of the Sudan
+all, will play its constructive role. The engagement between
the U.S. and the Sudangovernment can enhance this process.
The Humanitarian Situation
#eanwhile as we are wor&ing to unloc& the political
process, the S"#$%s conviction
has always been to address the humanitarian situation as a
matter of priority thatwill impact positively the political
process. The humanitarian situation should not be
sub8ected to the political agenda in accordance with
international humanitarian law."olitical agenda, by its nature, may
ta&e a long time9 therefore, the S"#$% is ready
with or without The 6oadmap to sit immediately with the Sudan
government to reach

to agree on unfiltered and unrestricted
humanitarian access with multiple points, cross line and cross
