A number of US senators are seeking to put pressure on US President Joe Biden to further intervene in resolving the humanitarian crisis in Sudan, according to a report published by Foreign Policy magazine.

These efforts propose the creation of a position of U.S. Special Representative in Sudan, fully dedicated to dealing with the crisis and promoting Washington’s policy in this direction.

Former Democratic Representative and diplomat in Barack Obama’s administration, Tom Perello, is one of the potential candidates for the job, but no final decision has yet been made on who will take the job.

Foreign Policy reported that a group of Democratic representatives in the House of Representatives took an unconventional step, sending a direct letter to the UAE Foreign Minister, Abdullah bin Zayed Al Nahyan, condemning Abu Dhabi’s support for the Rapid Support Forces in Sudan, and considering that this support negatively affects US-UAE relations.

“These increased initiatives demonstrate Capital Hole’s growing disappointment with the U.S. and international community’s response to the conflict in Sudan,” the report said. Human rights defenders are even more disappointed” by the Biden administration’s lack of sufficient political influence and public pressure on the UAE to halt supplies of weapons and ammunition to the RSF that violate UN embargoes.
