Greetings to everyone from the U.S. Department of State’s London International Media Hub. I would like to welcome our participants dialing in from around the world for this on-the-record briefing with U.S. Special Envoy for Sudan Tom Perriello. Special Envoy Perriello will discuss urgent U.S. efforts for peace and an immediate end to the war and humanitarian crisis in Sudan. We are pleased to offer this briefing with simultaneous translation into Arabic.
I’m speaking to Sudanese every day who’ve just escaped and describe, quote, “hell on Earth,” talk about imminent death.

And we believe if we can get that group together, it can help end this war in a matter of weeks, not months. But it is going to take a much higher level of political will among many of us, and it can’t be the U.S. alone – and shouldn’t be.
So in this round it’s been important for me to primarily be hearing from women and youth and so many of the courageous people who’ve been standing up emergency response rooms and other efforts to keep people alive, their neighbors and friends back home, some of whom they haven’t heard from in forever.
