The government emphasized its seriousness and transparency in addressing the allegations and has started taking concrete steps, including the formation of a technical committee authorized to investigate upon receipt of relevant data.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2578\" data-end=\"2848\">The government stressed the need for objective handling of such claims, which requires access to the evidence upon which they are based\u2014something Sudan is currently pursuing through technical channels with the U.S., which has reportedly agreed to share details soon.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2850\" data-end=\"3146\">Sudan also called on the OPCW Executive Council to allow the ongoing process to proceed constructively, reaffirming full compliance with the convention and readiness to cooperate with all stakeholders to prevent the use and spread of chemical weapons and to bolster global peace and security.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"3153\" data-end=\"3203\">\u00a0Trump: Pushing Peace in Sudan and Libya<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"3205\" data-end=\"3517\">This understanding on information exchange aligns with recent statements by U.S. President Donald Trump, who said his administration is advancing a new strategy for peaceful resolution in both Sudan and Libya, aimed at promoting regional stability through political dialogue and economic cooperation.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3519\" data-end=\"3617\">These comments came during a mini-summit held at the White House with several African leaders.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3619\" data-end=\"3886\">Simultaneously, Cairo hosted a tripartite meeting involving officials from Sudan, Egypt, and Libya to discuss the growing threat posed by the Rapid Support Forces&#8217; control of the border triangle linking the three countries and other joint security challenges.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"3893\" data-end=\"3952\">Cautious Optimism from Sudanese Civil Movements<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"3954\" data-end=\"4196\">The Democratic Civil Forces Coalition &#8220;Samood&#8221; welcomed Washington\u2019s announcement of a peace initiative.
