PORT SUDAN: Sudan’s army chief Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, at war with a rival paramilitary group since April 2023, called on US President Donald Trump today to bring peace.
“The Sudanese people now look to Washington to take the next step: to build on the US president’s honesty and work with us – and those in the region who genuinely seek peace – to end this war,” Sudan’s de facto leader wrote in an op-ed published in The Wall Street Journal.
Attempts to broker peace between Burhan and his one-time deputy, Rapid Support Forces (RSF) commander Mohamed Hamdan Daglo, have repeatedly failed over the course of the war that has killed tens of thousands, displaced 12 million and created the world’s largest hunger and displacement crises.
