The UAE has welcomed the comprehensive peace plan for Sudan, that's built around five pillars that include immediate humanitarian truce, a political transition to a civilian-led government and a permanent ceasefire.

Announced by US Senior Advisor for Arab and African Affairs Massad Boulos, it also touches upon sustained humanitarian access, civilian protection and post-war reconstruction.

In a statement shared by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MoFA), UAE's Minister of State, Sheikh Shakhboot bin Nahyan Al Nahyan, stressed that these steps are essential for a transitional process that is independent of the warring parties and extremist groups.

He also commended US President Donald Trump's efforts in preventing Sudan from sliding further into extremism, fragmentation and a deepening humanitarian catastrophe.

The minister reaffirmed the UAE’s unwavering commitment to working with the Quad, emphasising that an immediate ceasefire would strengthen ongoing efforts to support a sustainable, civilian political solution. 

He further expressed his appreciation to the US for convening the humanitarian conference and Quad meeting of February 3 in Washington in efforts to resolve the conflict. 

During the conference, the UAE announced an additional $500 million humanitarian pledge to address urgent needs in Sudan and ensure civilians affected by the war can access life-saving assistance.
