On Wednesday, American officials and a Sudanese team met at the United States Emirates participated in peaceful talks about how peace could bring stabilization to the region and secure a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian question, the ruling sovereign council said. The Sudanese and the Americans discussed, “the role that Sudan is expected to play in achieving this peace”, but there were no more details to this statement. The UAE and Bahrain normalised ties with Israel in September in deals made by officials in Washington, which is pretty momentous considering these two Arab states in a quarter century to break a long-standing taboo.
My take on the article is that this peace deal could be used as an example for the rest of the Middle East to promote peace and unity, similar to the Israeli-Palestinian Deal that President Donald Trump made. Perhaps it would only take one or two peace deals in the Middle East for the other conflicting nations to follow suit, and maybe even sort out their national conflicts without the United States stepping in and figuring it out for them. It shows how long the Middle East has had conflict when this deal is the only one in quarter century, but peace does seem to occuring more often between this Sudan deal and the Trump peace deal.
In class, we recently discussed the class’ opinions on the United States pulling out of the Middle East, but I could see now the argument for doing it at a more increased rate. The two peace deals that have emerged from the Middle East could prove to convince Americans to spend just a little more time in the Middle East and given enough time, I think that there is at least a chance of the Trump administration doing more for the installment of peace in places like Yemen and Iran, then expand to crimes against humanity in other regions of the world.
