Office of the Spokesperson Joint Statement on Sudan: Political TrackMedia Note June 8, 2026 The text of the following statement was released by the Governments of the United States of America and the countries and organizations of Belgium, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Norway, the United Kingdom, African Union (AU), the European Union (EU), the Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD), the League of Arab States (LAS), and the United Nations (UN) on the occasion of the conclusion of the Quintet (AU, IGAD, LAS, EU, and UN) consultations with Sudanese political stakeholders in Addis Ababa from June 3-5, 2026 following up on the Sudan conference in Berlin of April 15, 2026. Begin Text Belgium, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Norway, the United Kingdom, the United States, the African Union (AU), the European Union (EU), the Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD), the League of Arab States (LAS), and the United Nations (UN) reaffirm their shared and unwavering commitment to the people of Sudan and to a peaceful, democratic, and stable future for the country, as well as to the sovereignty, unity, and territorial integrity of Sudan. We express deep concern over the devastating humanitarian consequences of the ongoing conflict, where millions face displacement, acute food insecurity, and limited access to basic services, while attacks on civilians and infrastructure persist. The protection of civilians must remain central. We reaffirm the urgent need for a humanitarian truce, leading to a permanent ceasefire. We welcome the outcomes of the Berlin Conference, including the ‘Berlin Principles for Sudan’ adopted by 22 countries and organizations and the ‘Joint Call to End the War and Advance a Sudanese-Owned Political Process’ issued by Sudanese civilian stakeholders and facilitated by the Quintet (the African Union, the Intergovernmental Authority on Development, League of Arab States, European Union, and the United Nations). Together, they serve as an important step towards strengthening international coordination and reinforcing support for a civilian-led path towards a durable peaceful settlement. We stand united in our belief that there can be no military solution to this crisis, and that a sustainable resolution must be rooted in an inclusive, civilian-led political process that reflects the aspirations of the Sudanese people. We underscore the importance of advancing the civilian track as a central pillar in efforts to end the war and lay the groundwork for a democratic and inclusive civilian-led transition process that is free of control or undue influence by any one party and that is independent of extremist groups. We support a swift and time-bound civilian track that leads to a civilian-led transition, with an intention to continue to review and assess progress and implementation of agreed benchmarks. Appropriate measures will be considered by the international community against those who seek to undermine the civilian transition process. We reaffirm that Sudan’s future governance is for the Sudanese people to decide through an independent, inclusive, and transparent civilian-led transition process. To this end, we collectively support the Quintet’s urgent preparations and commencement—in the coming few weeks—of a comprehensive and inclusive Sudanese civilian-led dialogue process. This process, and its preparations, should bring together a broad spectrum of Sudanese civilian and political actors, including representatives of civil society, women’s groups, youth, and stakeholders representing Sudan’s geographic and social diversity, and should be conducted in a manner that is transparent, credible, and free from coercion. We further express our readiness to support the Quintet’s efforts to ensure that this dialogue is structured in a way that enables it to be feasibly and reasonably concluded in a timely manner—ideally within six months—and to complement efforts for peace and the broader transition. Its outcome should establish a clear pathway toward a transition process to an independent civilian-led government, grounded in legitimacy, accountability, and respect for human rights. We underscore that the establishment of such an independent civilian-led government is indispensable to ensuring a durable end to the conflict. We call for broader international support and reaffirm our commitment to continued coordination to help end the conflict, alleviate suffering, and support Sudan’s peaceful transition, as well as ensuring mutually reinforcing action in support of advancing these ends goals.

Office of the Spokesperson Ebola Response Update – June 5, 2026Media Note June 5, 2026 The Department of State, in close coordination with the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and in partnership with the governments of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) and Uganda, is continuing to mount a rapid and comprehensive response to the Ebola outbreak. Today, the Department is announcing nearly $38 million in additional funding toward the Department’s ongoing Ebola response efforts, bringing the total direct funding for the Department of State’s Ebola response to more than $200 million. This funding is in addition to $350 million for Ebola response and other humanitarian assistance in the DRC, South Sudan, and Uganda, as part of our $1.8 billion contribution to the UN OCHA announced on May 14. The United States continues to be the largest financial contributor to the Ebola response. Protecting AmericansU.S. embassies continue to keep Americans informed of the latest travel, safety, and health information. The Department’s highest priority and focus remain protecting the health of the American people and preventing this Ebola outbreak from reaching our shores. To that end, the Department of State, in close coordination with the CDC, DoW, and the broader U.S. interagency, has published guidance on a voluntary process to assist U.S. citizens who have possible Ebola exposure or who request assistance to depart the DRC, South Sudan, or Uganda during the ongoing Ebola outbreak. U.S. citizens will remain subject to relevant U.S. and foreign government health, travel, and screening measures. Information regarding this new process may be found on the Department’s Ebola information page. U.S. citizens are strongly encouraged to enroll in the Smart Traveler Enrollment Program (STEP) for the most up to date information for their specific location. Supporting the Regional ResponseThrough more than $200 million the Department of State is providing directly for the Ebola response, implementing organizations continue to support contact tracing, border and point-of-entry screening, response efforts at dozens of health clinics in affected areas, and community education to combat misinformation about how Ebola spreads. Below are direct U.S.-funded response partner activities:

Office of the Spokesperson United States Announces More than $240 Million in Assistance to Catholic Relief Services to Address Global Humanitarian NeedsMedia Note June 5, 2026 Today, the United States announced more than $240 million in humanitarian and disaster response assistance to Catholic Relief Services (CRS). State Department Bureau of Disaster and Humanitarian Response Senior Bureau Official Ryan Shrum made the announcement in Rome, Italy, alongside U.S. Ambassador to the Holy See Brian Burch, Permanent Representative of the United States to the UN Agencies in Rome Lynda Blanchard, CRS Vice President for Humanitarian Response Jennifer Poidatz, and Caritas Internationalis Secretary General Alistair Dutton. This assistance to CRS is the first in a series of global State Department awards to trusted and vetted implementing organizations. These awards will focus on the rapid deployment of time-bound, life-saving assistance in response to crises around the world, with implementers able to respond within 24 hours. This approach to assistance is complementary to the Department’s historic memorandum of understanding and $3.8 billion in assistance provided through the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), reduces bureaucratic grant management burdens on staff, and reinforces our work to make humanitarian assistance faster, more efficient, and more accountable to U.S. taxpayers. Extensive Network of Local PartnersCRS works through an extensive network of local partners, including over 160 Caritas chapters around the globe, ensuring that assistance reaches the most vulnerable populations efficiently and effectively. For example, in the aftermath of Hurricane Melissa, CRS demonstrated the capacity to provide assistance in challenging political environments, such as Cuba, where its local partnerships enabled humanitarian assistance to reach those in need without regime interference. Multi-Sectoral Assistance in Ongoing CrisesCRS will use this funding to provide multi-sectoral assistance – across the food, nutrition, health, water and sanitation, and shelter sectors, among others – in countries with significant levels of humanitarian need, including Burma, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Ethiopia, Haiti, Nigeria, and Sudan. CRS already has offices and staff on the ground in DRC supporting Ebola response efforts. This funding will supplement CRS’s Ebola response activities and their work to address other humanitarian needs throughout the country. Rapid Response to Disasters and ShocksThis contribution will also support a CRS global rapid response fund, which will allow CRS to immediately activate its extensive network of local partnerships, including Caritas organizations, to deliver assistance where it’s needed most, whether responding to sudden-onset disasters or addressing surges in needs within ongoing complex emergencies. With funds already on hand, CRS can respond immediately, bypassing lengthy procurement processes. Complementarity with Other AssistanceState Department staff are working closely with CRS and other implementers, including OCHA, to ensure that U.S. taxpayer-funded assistance is delivered in an efficient and accountable manner that saves lives around the world, while reducing administrative overhead and duplicative efforts. Faith in ActionThis support to CRS also demonstrates the Administration’s commitment to partnering with faith-based organizations that demonstrate faith in action and have proven their ability to deliver humanitarian assistance in the world’s most difficult environments. CRS has a demonstrated track record of excellent humanitarian service and is a natural partner of choice for this type of global assistance. The State Department looks forward to continuing our work with CRS, OCHA, and other key implementers to achieve a faster, more accountable, efficient, impact-driven, locally driven and hyper-prioritized model of humanitarian assistance.
