YourVoice.Now Summary
House would condemn attacks on civilians in Sudan and ask other nations to stop arming both sides — no change in U.S. law.
The details
Most people would see no change in daily life. This resolution states the House's views on the civil war in Sudan. It does not change any law or spend any money. The war began in April 2023 between Sudan's army and a militia called the Rapid Support Forces. The resolution cites reports of over 400,000 deaths. It says more than 14 million people have been forced from their homes. The House would condemn all attacks on civilians, including what it calls the militia's genocide against non-Arab groups in Darfur. It asks both sides to let aid workers reach people in need and to keep them safe. It asks other countries to stop supplying the two sides. It asks the Trump Administration to help end that outside support and negotiate an end to the war. It also asks for a return to civilian, democratic rule in Sudan. Other nations are asked to help rebuild later and to hold abusers to account. A House committee approved a changed version in May 2026. This summary covers the version first filed.
Congressional Summary
This resolution condemns all attacks on civilians in Sudan and recognizes their right to safety and security. (Since 2023, there has been an ongoing conflict in Sudan between the Sudanese Armed Forces and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces. The warring parties have been implicated in war crimes and human rights abuses.) The resolution applauds international, national, and local humanitarian efforts to deliver lifesaving assistance and calls on the warring parties to ensure aid workers’ safety and grant unfettered access to populations in need of assistance. Lastly, the resolution calls on external actors to end material support to the Rapid Support Forces and Sudanese Armed Forces and calls on the international community to prioritize civilian efforts to end the war, assist with post-conflict reconstruction and recovery, and support the establishment of a transitional justice mechanism.
