Sudan’s junta leader, General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, has welcomed peace initiatives to end the country’s devastating war—on one unyielding condition.
“This is clear and without pretense,” he said. “We welcome all sincere efforts that can restore life and peace to us—on one condition.”
Burhan vowed that the SAF remains determined to resume the war.
His remarks come as the Quadripartite Mechanism—comprising the United States, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and Egypt—continues to push for a negotiated end to Sudan’s conflict.
In September, the group proposed a roadmap to halt the fighting and return the country to a path toward civilian democratic rule.
The Quartet underscored Sudan’s sovereignty and unity as essential to peace and stability, stressing that no military solution could resolve the crisis.
It called on all warring parties to guarantee unhindered humanitarian access, protect civilians, and abide by international humanitarian law under the Jeddah Declaration.
The plan envisioned a three-month humanitarian truce to allow aid delivery across Sudan, paving the way for a lasting ceasefire.
Within nine months, the Quartet proposed, Sudan should begin a transparent transitional process leading to an independent, accountable civilian government that reflects the will of its people.
