Al-Burhan: No desire for presidential backing
Sudanese Sovereign Council Chairman and Army Commander Abdel Fattah al-Burhan rejected speculation about his candidacy for the presidency, affirming that his current mission is to restore security and cleanse the country from rebellion, referring to the ongoing war with Rapid Support Forces since April 2023. Al-Burhan criticized the Alliance for Freedom and Change, describing it as a "nameless, shapeless force" that deceived the Sudanese people, and accused it of colluding with the Rapid Support Forces. He clarified that the army remains neutral and is not affiliated with any political organization. He also confirmed that efforts are underway to facilitate national dialogue among the parties, ruling out any connection to the committee preparing for the dialogue. On the humanitarian front, Western countries condemned attacks targeting aid convoys in South Kordofan, calling for investigations and holding those responsible accountable. The African Union discussed with the conflicting parties the necessity of ending the war and opening humanitarian corridors, emphasizing the importance of achieving a just and comprehensive peace in Sudan. Additionally, a Sudanese legal group called for an independent international investigation into allegations that the army used toxic chemical gases during military operations.
