@souefmo_elamine @UN @antonioguterres Congratulations 🎊

[U.S. Senior Advisor for Arab and African Affairs @US_SrAdvisorAF]

I was extremely pleased to hear the Sudanese representative confirm that the President of the Sovereign Council, General Burhan, has apparently accepted—rather than rejected—the latest peace proposal. This initiative was just recently developed through close consultations with the Sudanese Foreign Minister and other members of the Sovereign Council, in coordination with our Egyptian partners, and was welcomed by our Saudi partners.

We reaffirm our readiness, together with our partners, to announce and advance this peace initiative.

The United States’ only interest is to help bring an end to the world’s largest humanitarian crisis. To that end, the United States has provided more than $3 billion in humanitarian assistance since the outbreak of the conflict, making us the largest humanitarian donor to the Sudan response. We remain committed to working with all partners to achieve a durable peace that preserves Sudan’s unity, sovereignty, and territorial integrity.

Guinea Begins Iron Ore Exports from Simandou mines, The World’s Largest Untapped Iron Ore Deposits Worth Hundreds of Billions of Dollars

Guinea has commenced iron ore exports from the Simandou mines, home to the world’s largest untapped high-grade iron ore reserves.

The long-awaited project is expected to transform Guinea’s economy and make it Africa’s second-largest mineral exporter once production scales up.

Construction of the Simandou mines cost $20 billion, making it the largest mining project in Africa. It contains the world’s largest untapped iron ore deposit with 4 billion tonnes of untapped high-grade iron ore.

It has two mines, a 670-kilometer railway, 12 train stations, more than 200 bridges, and 4 underground tunnels to transport the iron ore from the site to the seaport.

We commend the Nigerian Government and security forces on the successful arrest of wanted #Ansaru leaders, Mahmud Muhammad Usman (aka Abu Bara'a) and Mahmud al-Nigeri (aka Mallam Mamuda). This is a significant forward in Nigeria's fight against terrorism and extremism.
