International Voices Intensify Ceasefire Calls as Sudan Approaches Three-Year Anniversary

As Sudan's civil war approaches its third anniversary on April 15, peace advocates, regional analysts, and diplomatic voices intensify calls for an immediate ceasefire. Analysis details the staggering toll: over 150,000 killed, 14 million internally displaced, and IPC famine conditions in Darfur. White House Senior Adviser Massad Boulos, who leads Trump administration engagement on Sudan, has been finalizing a five-pillar peace roadmap including a proposed three-month humanitarian truce. RSF commander Hemeti signals openness to talks in separate Nairobi discussions with UN envoy Pekka Haavisto, while SAF chief al-Burhan rejects any truce preconditions. The fragmented mediation landscape — U.S.-Saudi Jeddah Platform, African Union AUHIP, and IGAD track — continues to prevent unified pressure on both parties.
