Today marks 2 years of senseless conflict, atrocities, & famine in Sudan. The United States calls on the warring parties to put down their guns & negotiate a durable peace. We urge all countries with influence over the belligerents to press them to protect civilians, allow unhindered humanitarian access & agree to a cessation of hostilities.

Following discussions between the Secretary and Deputy Secretary of State with Prime Minister of Barbados and Chairman of the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) Mia Mottley, the United States supports the statement by CARICOM condemning any actions to destabilize Haiti’s Transitional Presidential Council.  The United States supports the efforts by the Kenya-led Multinational Security Support Mission and CARICOM to assist the government in its efforts to bring peace and stability to Haiti in the face of armed criminal gangs.  The United States continues to consult with governments across the region.

In a call with Kenyan President Ruto (@WilliamsRuto), @SecRubio discussed the need to de-escalate tensions and promote peace and security in the Horn of Africa and eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo.

[Secretary Marco Rubio @SecRubio]

The United States condemns the radical Islamist terrorists, including foreign jihadis, that murdered people in western Syria in recent days. The United States stands with Syria’s religious and ethnic minorities, including its Christian, Druze, Alawite, and Kurdish communities, and offers its condolences to the victims and their families. Syria’s interim authorities must hold the perpetrators of these massacres against Syria’s minority communities accountable.
