Sudan’s SAF chief and head of the Sovereignty Council, Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, has called on all Sudanese capable of carrying weapons to join the fight against the Rapid Support Forces. Speaking to a crowd in the village of Al-Sireeha in Gezira State on Friday, Burhan said there would be no place in Sudan for the RSF or those allied with it.
Burhan dismissed the possibility of “any truce or talk with the RSF,” saying negotiations would only be possible if RSF fighters assembled in a single location and laid down their arms.
“We tell the mediators that dialogue will come after the rebels put down their weapons,” he said. “We will continue fighting until we punish the RSF and eliminate it.”
A proposal from the Quad — the US, Saudi Arabia, Egypt and the UAE — called for a three-month humanitarian pause followed by a ceasefire agreement between the SAF and the RSF. RSF has accepted the proposal, SAF has opted for more war.
