Rhino: Agencies – In a notable diplomatic development, U.S. Presidential Advisor Musad Pauls made remarks—the first of their kind—in which he directed direct and strongly worded criticism at the Sudanese military leadership, holding it responsible for obstructing humanitarian efforts.

Paul explained that the U.S. administration has observed clear instances of “intransigence” in the implementation of signed ceasefires, noting that military movements and restrictions imposed on the ground have become the biggest obstacle to the delivery of life-saving supplies to millions of people affected by the war.
