Al-Burhan outlines plan to end Sudanese conflict

The article by Sudanese Sovereign Council Chairman Abdel Fattah al-Burhan focuses on his vision for ending the conflict in Sudan. He calls for an internal Sudanese settlement based on a permanent ceasefire, the unification of the armed forces into a single national army, and rejects grantingRapid Support Forces (RSF) a status equal to that of the state. Al-Burhan emphasizes that peace must be crafted by the Sudanese themselves, with limited international oversight rather than externally imposed solutions. He also stresses that foreign agreements in which Sudanese parties do not participate lack sustainability and has voiced rejection of treating the RSF as an equal party, considering it a quasi-military group. He underscores that strengthening military unity and rebuilding the security system are crucial, along with separating weapons from civilians and integrating forces outside official institutions. Furthermore, he proposes that the political phase be conducted through a Sudanese-led dialogue, during which Sudanese will determine the future of governance. He advocates for a constitution drafted by Sudanese hands followed by free elections under international supervision, aiming to rebuild the country peacefully. Al-Burhan highlights the importance of cutting foreign funding to the RSF to facilitate an end to the war. He calls on the international community to support his plan for a ceasefire, halt sources of funding and supplies to the RSF, and support UN monitoring, enabling the Sudanese people to define their political future.
