This House resolution condemns attacks on civilians in Sudan and urges an end to external material support for the warring parties. It says fighting began on April 15, 2023, and reports over 400,000 deaths and more than 14,000,000 people forcibly displaced. The resolution cites Secretary of State findings that members of the SAF and RSF committed war crimes and that the RSF and allied militias committed crimes against humanity, ethnic cleansing, and, on January 7, 2025, genocide. A February 2026 United Nations fact-finding mission is cited as documenting genocidal acts by the RSF against non-Arab communities in Darfur. The resolution highlights that nearly 34,000,000 people need life-saving assistance and that the conflict threatens regional stability.
The resolution condemns attacks on civilians, including attacks on schools, medical facilities, and places of worship. It applauds humanitarian organizations and calls on warring parties to give aid workers unfettered access and ensure their safety. It calls on external actors to immediately end material support to the RSF and SAF, calls on the Trump Administration to end provision of external support and negotiate an end to the war and restore civilian-led democratic governance, and urges the international community to prioritize civilian-led efforts, assist post-conflict recovery, and support a robust transitional justice mechanism.
The resolution expresses the House of Representatives' positions and priorities regarding the conflict in Sudan. It asks other countries and actors to stop providing material support to the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF). It urges the U.S. executive branch (named in the text as the Trump Administration) to take action to end external support, seek a negotiated settlement, and work to restore civilian-led democratic governance. It also supports humanitarian access, protection of civilians and aid workers, and future post-conflict reconstruction and transitional justice efforts.
