Recent events in Washington have confirmed that Saudi Arabia’s role in Sudan has become pivotal in the political solution process, after US President Donald Trump revealed during the Saudi-American Investment Forum 2025 the direct role played by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman in advancing the Sudan file.
American recognition of Saudi Arabia's leading role
Trump said, “Prince Mohammed bin Salman gave me a full explanation of the history of Sudan and the details of the conflict, and just 30 minutes after he spoke, I began working on the issue.”
This statement places the Crown Prince at the heart of international efforts to end the war and reflects Washington’s growing confidence in the Kingdom’s regional role.
Extension of previous successful interventions
The scene brought to mind the moment when Trump announced the lifting of sanctions on Syria following Saudi diplomatic efforts, which demonstrates a single political line:
Saudi Arabia taking the initiative, influencing, and pushing towards stability in the region.
The image of the Crown Prince placing his hand on his chest in gratitude was repeated, in a picture that gained widespread circulation and reflected satisfaction with steps that contribute to alleviating the suffering of the Arab peoples.
Widespread Arab and international reaction
Social media platforms in Sudan quickly celebrated the Kingdom’s efforts, and many welcomed what they described as a “new page” capable of putting an end to the bloodshed of war and opening the door to a political solution.
The Economic Forum: A Deep Political Dimension
The forum, which came in an economic context, took on a remarkable political dimension; the appearance of the Crown Prince alongside Trump after the event gave the scene a clear message:
the Saudi-American relationship is moving towards formulating a new phase in common files.
Saudi leadership makes a difference
Between intervening in the Syrian file yesterday and activating the path to resolving the Sudanese crisis today, the Saudi leadership proves that it possesses real political weight and manages the region's files with a vision that makes its voice influential in the stability of the region.
The images of the Crown Prince that topped the platforms embodied a moment in which the leader realizes that his efforts are setting in motion a solution awaited by millions of people.
