Sudan’s Sovereign Council, led by army chief Abdel Fattah Abdelrahman Al-Burhan, announced on Wednesday its readiness to cooperate with the United States and Saudi Arabia to end the two-year-long conflict devastating the country.
The council expressed gratitude to both nations for their ongoing efforts to halt the violence and affirmed its willingness to participate seriously in peace initiatives for Sudan.
This statement comes after US President Donald Trump signaled his willingness to work with Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and Egypt to resolve the fighting between Sudan’s army and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF). Clashes between the military and this paramilitary group, accused of serious abuses, have plagued Sudan since April 2023.
Recently, Secretary of State Marco Rubio called for an end to foreign military support for the RSF, highlighting concerns about escalating violence.
