On October 4, 2026, Massad Boulos, President Donald Trump’s senior adviser for Arab and African affairs, met with Sudanese General Abdel-Fattah Burhan in Egypt during a luncheon hosted by Egyptian President Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi. This rare meeting occurred on the sidelines of the mid-year coordination meeting of the African Union and aimed to push for an end to ongoing fighting between Sudan’s army and the Rapid Support Forces, which began in April 2023. The conflict has caused a humanitarian crisis, with at least 59,000 people killed and some 13 million displaced, pushing parts of Sudan into famine. The U.S., Egypt, and other intermediaries are intensifying efforts to broker peace negotiations between the warring parties in Sudan.
