World leaders at the U.N. General Assembly are pushing for an end to Sudan’s war, which has created the world’s worst displacement and humanitarian crisis.

Alan Boswell of the International Crisis Group said this year’s meeting could be “make-or-break” for peace, as key powers have finally agreed on a roadmap.

The conflict erupted in April 2023 between Sudan’s army and paramilitary forces, spreading from Khartoum to Darfur and beyond.

U.N. agencies estimate at least 40,000 deaths, nearly 13 million displaced, and 24 million facing acute food insecurity.

The U.S., Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and the UAE — known as the Quad — called on Sept. 12 for a three-month humanitarian truce to allow aid deliveries, followed by a permanent ceasefire.

Their plan also calls for a nine-month transition to a civilian-led government, the Associated Press has reported.

Quad leaders met again Wednesday on the sidelines of the General Assembly to coordinate implementation of the roadmap.
