On June 3, representatives from Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates met with U.S. Deputy Secretary of State Christopher Landau and Senior Advisor for Africa Massad Boulos, marking a new Trump administration initiative to end the conflict in Sudan. These “Quad for Sudan” talks generated considerable momentum, with Egyptian President Abdul Fattah al-Sisi subsequently visiting Emirati President Muhammad bin Zayed in Abu Dhabi for further discussions. Now that they have demonstrated consensus on addressing the conflict, the Quad partners should incorporate useful elements from the existing Jeddah Platform, a Saudi-American initiative supported by the African Union and the Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD).
