In a remarkable development in Sudanese relations -Americans, the Sudanese Council of Sovereignty, the first team, Abdel Fattah Al -Burhan, met the adviser of the American president of African affairs, Massad Paul, on Monday August 11, 2025 in Zurich, to a direct request from Washington, according to Al -Arabiya. The meeting reflects a change in the American approach to the Sudanese file and a retreat from traditional dependence on regional brokers, led by the United Arab Emirates.
The meeting, which was officially announced in Khartoum until the moment, reflects an advanced level of confidence between the two parties, and embodies a new stage of direct dialogue, far from the canals which had an influence on the direction of the Sudanese crisis.
The United States, According to multiple sources, put on the discussion table a clear proposition to understand ceasefire in southern, as part of a more understanding vision to make the political and security scene, and to consolidate the role of southan as an active partner in combating terrorism and promoting the security of the red sea, Become an Advanced Priority in the American Agenda, Given the Complexies of the Regional Situation and Sudan’s Central Association Geographically in an allergic zone.
These movements confirm that Washington no longer considers Sudan from the point of view of humanitarian crises, but as a strategic actor who can trust the main regional files, which is a remarkable development in the nature of the bilateral relationship, and improves the political and diplomatic position of Sudan.
What is also perceptible in this meeting is that some of the influential regional parties were outside, and the water, for example, only knew it after its presence, which reflects a Sudanese diplomatic success in the extraction of the margin of an independent movement, and perhaps the beginning of the reformulation of regional and international alliances in accordance with welded national priorities.
The proof, in turn, did not go to this meeting without guarantees or pressure papers. He expressed his position rejecting the existence of the militia of rapid support for power or in any political process to come. This position adds a new dimension to the path of negotiation and reflects its desire to reduce the influence of the militia, indicating its awareness of the importance of suppressing obstacles in terms of peace and stability, in preparation for the end of the war and the more stable transition.
The coordination of the meeting also intervened after complex international and regional efforts, in which Turkey, Qatar and Egypt have participated, which manifested itself in the movements of foreign ministers and their intensive meetings in recent weeks, in addition to a Qatari logistics transformation represented in the decline in a huge plane to the creation of the political airport, before the meeting, The creation of the atmosphere of this political transformation.
However, bets on the success of this path remain conditional on the ability of Sudanese leaders to use this regional and international dynamic internally, in the light of security and economic challenges and political divisions that require treatments.
The signals published by Washington, at the beginning of last week, including the reports on the intention of the American administration, classifying rapid support as a terrorist organization, reflecting a change in the American position on the militia which had a clear regional support, and puts its partners from a narrow angle, which can lead to a compulsory regional replacement which matters with new trends.
On the other hand, the continuation of meetings between evidence and the American departments outside the framework of the usual regional coordination, gives new Sudanese pressure documents at the negotiation table and gives the Sudanese file a real boost to the solution.
The Americans, for their part, show an unprecedented opening to cooperate with Khartoum, not only in the security file, but also indications of their interest in the economic and investment fields, because Washington considers Sudan as an opportunity to rebuild a country rich in resources, with great strategic importance. This strengthens the idea that Reunion represents the start of a new stage of cooperation, based on the principle of direct partnership, far from brokers that can hinder solutions.
The importance of this meeting does not reside only in its secret nature or its calendar, but in the messages it carries on the future of Sudan in the regional equation, and the opportunities which can arise if this American opening is improved.
However, transparency in the treatment of Sudanese public opinion concerning the content of these meetings remains an important question, not only to reassure the interior, but to confirm the severity of the management of the next step far from confidentiality and ambiguity which has long fueled rumors and the lowest confidence in public establishments.
From the point of view of the face of truth, our country is today in front of a crossroads. And if its leadership is capable of translating diplomatic momentum into practical stages, Zurich can be a real beginning of the way to the restoration of security and peace. This meeting can establish a complete ceasefire and opens the door to a serious dialogue with the parties concerned, in particular the Emirates, to stop feeding the quick support militia. However, success remains dependent on the capacity of leadership to use regional and international support and by transforming it into reality which establishes the security and stability of Sudan.
You are fine and well.
